Slick tech device ENDS pain pill dependence? [Not so fast!]
If you’re saddled with aches and pains, you’ll do just about ANYTHING to get rid of the pain.
Maybe you reach for those over-the-counter (OTC) pain killers?
Sure, they offer you some relief… but eventually, that pain is going to come back.
And if the pain gets bad enough, you call your doctor to get something more ‘high-octane’.
But let’s face it, that option comes with all kinds of dangerous risks – including full-on DEPENDENCE.
The pain cycle is never-ending… and maddening.
And now scientists have created a slick, new device… like something out of a sci-fi movie…
That if used correctly, could the needless pill-popping millions of folks succumb to just to get some pain relief.
Today I’ve got the scoop on this breakthrough technology – AND why you may not need to rush out and get it (yet).
Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a pain relief implant – an implant that could end pain without a single drug.
Here’s a quick breakdown of how it works…
First, the dissolvable device works by softly wrapping itself around your nerves and delivers precise cooling by numbing them, blocking signals to the brain.
Second, an external pump enables remote activation by the patient – rising or reducing intensity.
Finally, once no longer needed the bioelectronic tool is absorbed naturally by the body.
Pretty cool, right?
I can’t argue with that. Especially considering the tool was developed to help end the highly-addictive opioid crisis that cripples millions of Americans each year.
However, the implant is likely super-expensive and could be a mainstream money-grab.
So don’t rush out and sign up for this implant just yet. Because I have another ‘procedure’ that’s been around for thousands of years… and it’s proven to ZAP pain without drugs.
And it’s easier on your wallet.
It’s acupuncture.
This traditional Chinese medicinal approach, which involves strategically placing tiny needles in just the right spots… has been eliminating pain for thousands of years.
There’s nothing wrong with scoping out this new pain-relief implant (in fact, you can get a thorough run-down of the technology here) …
But in the meantime, there’s no harm in giving acupuncture a try on your own.
The American Academy of Medical Acupuncture keeps a database of physicians properly trained in acupuncture… and many insurance plans (including Medicare) may cover the cost of acupuncture.
Just click the “Find and Acupuncturist” tab at the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture website to find a provider near you.
Later today, I’ll be sending you another nugget about the benefits of acupuncture. Keep an eye out for your inbox!
