pain management

I wish I had a chill-pill for all you stress monsters, especially in these crazy times.  I'd probably pop a few myself.  Alas, most of us could do with fewer vices and more good old fashioned relaxation. Remember, you are no good to anyone unless you're good to yourself.

Back pain relief is tricky.  First there is the business of reducing or eliminating the back pain.  Then there are products to prevent the pain from coming back, and if all else fails there are aids to make daily life less painful for those living with chronic back pain. 

Looking for a quick fix for your headache?  Get in line.  It is no wonder headache cures and remedies are so sought after.  Headaches are rampant - some worse than others, caused by hundreds of reasons from bad posture to pollution to vitamin deficiencies. 

Stock up and save on a wide selection of cold and flu products from AllegroMedical.com this season.  The H1N1 virus may be in your area, but our Swine Flu protection products can help slow the spread and prevent contraction of the virus.  If you end up with the flu, our H1N2 flu remedies can make you more comfy.

Getting older is a blessing, for sure, but even longevity has its price.  Creaky, sore joints.  Sometimes when I stand up I sound like an old rocking chair making a bag of popcorn.  And how about when it rains, or your hands get cold and you can barely bend your fingers? For some, these are just minor aches and pains, but for others they are the result of Osteoarthritis, or Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD) -  the most common type of arthritis.  There are many types of arthritis, some more debilitating than others.

So, there are those of us who get our summer exercise by dusting off the shuttlecock for an occasional game of badminton, and then there are those other freaks (oops), er, folks whose idea of exercise is training for a triathlon or marathon.  Either way, sports injuries are common among fair weather exercisers and elite athlete alike.

Arthritis is said to be the most common form of disability.  But what exactly is arthritis?  Well, it's not just one thing.   Arthritis, as a term, encompasses more than 100 medical conditions including back pain, carpal tunnel syndrom, fibromyalgia, gout and lyme disease.  The common thread is that all these conditions affect your joints.

I've been nickle and dime-ing my bedroom for years, chasing an image of the perfect, snuggly sleeping chamber.  A dark shade here, a humidifier there, wave sounds, soothing colors... but a recent lower back problem pushed me to take a comprehensive look at the bed itself.   Needless to say, I have a new bed . . . and mattress. . . pillows . . . and, okay, well, pretty much everything.  Hey, don't we spend, like, a third of our lives in bed?  So, anyway.

Developed as a sports-medicine tape to aid athletes, Kinesiologers are quickly finding other uses for the miracle, adhesive backed cloth. From fuselage repairs to saving national monuments, the only question now is what can’t Kinesio tape do?
