Okay, sorry for the play on words about Heal-N-Soothe having serious “backers” … but it’s true. In a previous blog post, I wrote about a natural pain reliever that leveraged the power of proteolytic enzymes called Heal-N-Soothe, that provides back pain relief and pain relief in general. I also mentioned about all those pain relief medications pushed by “Big Pharma“, its dangers, as well as a natural alternative for pain relief.

I’m either on a notebook or desktop many hours a day, and there is a difference when it comes to my neck as well as my overall posture when using both. In fact, for me, working on a notebook is much more comfortable. It may have something to do with how the notebook’s screen is designed. That is, it’s right there … right in front of you.

And that could be the issue with trying to maintain a good posture as well as minimizing neck pain. Well, guess what? A company in Israel has come up with an ergonomic keyboard that claims to reduce neck pain. Read the article below from the site Tom’s Hardware to get the details on this keyboard. Continue reading
A company in the U.S., called Hollywog, recently got clearance to sell their new back pain relief devices that use TENS technology: 
WiTouch & WiTouch Pro. When I initially saw the name of the product, the first thing that came to mind was Nintendo’s Wii … but, it’s a totally different company targeting a totally different segment of our population! According to the press relief, WiTouch is available to the public as an OTC (i.e., “over-the-counter”) product, however, WiTouch Pro can only be obtained via a prescription. The only marked difference I could decipher from reading the product descriptions is that the Pro version has an onboard set of controls for “in-clinic” applications. I’m presuming that after the proper diagnosis of your back pain, the doctor will program the Pro version with the optimal stimuli for your treatment. Anyways, that’s just my hypothesis.
