What is pain?
Pain is a warning system and the body
’s method of telling us that something is wrong. Pain is important
because without it, abnormal conditions may go undetected, causing damage or injury to vital parts of
our bodies. Pain is a necessary warning signal of trauma or malfunction in the body but aside from its
value in diagnosis, long-lasting persistent pain serves no useful purpose. Medical science has shown
that pain does not begin until a coded message travels to the brain where it is decoded, analyzed, and
then reacted to. The pain message is then interpreted and the pain is felt.
How long has electrical stimulation been used to alleviate pain?
Electro-therapy has a long history for the treatment of pain. Ancient documents indicate that it was used
in antiquity. During ancient times, almost everyone traveled long distances by foot and painful feet would
have been a common problem. Recovered ancient artifacts show that the Egyptians and Greeks knew of
the pain reducing effects of standing in a pool with electric fish. In 46 AD, Roman physician Scribonus
Largus recorded that he used the electrical discharge from Torpedo fish to relieve pain from gout. Today
we enjoy better living thanks to modern Neuro Therapy and the CP-1000 is one of the latest technology
advancements.
How does your CP Relief Wand® work?
The Model CP-1000 is a battery powered portable hand held Neuro Therapy device with self contained
electrodes that provide extra convenience to the patient or therapist. The pain messages normally
originate in the pain center within the nerve and muscle fibers. When the electrodes are positioned close
to one another to treat specific pain centers, the alignment of the electrodes relative to the pain becomes
increasingly important. The CP-1000 provides the extra convenience needed for the patient or therapist
to position the electrodes for best results. The therapy travels through and under the skin between the
electrodes to desensitize the nerves within its path. With the CP-1000, the patient or therapist can easily
control the electrode position relative to the location of the pain.
