The Pain Management Benefits

The Pain Cycle : Low back and neck pain may be caused by trauma or continual strain. The body responds to such pain with muscle guarding, an attempt to immobilize the painful site by tightening the muscles. Muscle guarding impairs circulation in the affected area. The decrease in blood supply leads to a decrease in metabolism with an accumulation of waste products moist heat modalities can help break this pain cycle and aid in the normal healing process.

The Diabetic Benefits

The system helps to improve blood circulation in the hands and feet. Or, cold water can also be used to reduce swelling that is associated with diabetic neuropathy.

All body parts can be treated. Can be used for the following applications: back, knee, hip, foot and ankle, hand and wrist, shoulder, elbow, chest, breast, face and jaw, head, neck, feet, hands, and other specific applications.

The Medicare Program

The Gaymar system is covered by Medicare. You may be eligible to receive a system at no cost to you. A prescription is required.

People with diabetes are at risk for blood vessel injury, which may be severe enough to cause tissue damage in the legs and feet.

People with diabetes are at special risk of developing foot ulcers, and foot care is an important part of diabetes management.

Diabetes and proper care for yourself

Proper foot care and hand care is an important part of diabetes management. In fact, diabetics are prone to problems in these two areas due to lack of circulation, neuropathy, and vulnerabilities. Diabetics also experience discomfort in these areas ·pain, coldness, and numbness.

The Gaymar system helps relieve the discomfort of achy hands/feet by distributing 105 º - 120 º Fahrenheit water around these areas. The warm water greatly improves circulation and provides relaxing therapy . The Aqua-relief cold water therapy system can also be set to cold to relieve swelling and edema or to help aid in injury recovery.

Poor Circulation

Diabetes often leads to peripheral vascular disease that inhibits a person's blood circulation. With this condition, there is a narrowing of the arteries that frequently leads to significantly decreased circulation in the lower part of the legs and the feet. Poor circulation contributes to diabetic foot problems by reducing the amount of oxygen and nutrition supplied to the skin and other tissue, causing injuries to heal poorly. Poor circulation can also lead to swelling and dryness of the foot. Preventing foot complications is more critical for the diabetic patient because poor circulation impairs the healing process and can lead to ulcers, infection, and other serious foot conditions.

What causes ulceration?

The most common cause of chronic leg ulcers is poor blood circulation in the legs. These are known as arterial and venous leg ulcers.

What exactly does Heat do?

• Heat improves circulation.
• Heat improves cell function (metabolism).
• Heat decreases stiffness in tendons and ligaments.
• Heat relaxes the muscles and decreases muscle spasm.
• Heat lessens pain.

What exactly does Cold do?

Cold therapy with ice is the best immediate treatment for acute injuries because it can reduce swelling and pain. Ice is a vasoconstrictor (causes the blood vessels to narrow) and it limits bleeding at the injury site. Apply ice to the affected area several times a day.

Cold water therapy is also helpful in treating chronic pain.

Indications

Arthritis, sore muscles, reduce edema swelling, achy hands and feet.
