Innovation Breakthrough in Pain Management
Throughout history, modern medicine has consistently proven how disease management and prevention breakthroughs can impact lives and improve well-being. Despite these successes, effective pain management has eluded researchers and scientists for decades, primarily leading to pharmacological (drug) approaches. This has contributed to the widespread overuse of over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (like Tylenol and Advil) and the ongoing opioid crisis.
Understanding what triggers pain is a significant challenge in pain management. Accurate diagnosis of the pain-producing tissue and an understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms involved are crucial for successful patient outcomes. While healthcare providers strive to diagnose and treat conditions using both experience and new innovations, pain management advancements have often fallen short—
until now.
A critical scientific discovery.
The most groundbreaking recent discovery in pain management is the Adenosine A2a Receptors anti-inflammatory pathway. This pathway is crucial in reducing inflammation in cartilage tissue, a primary driver of acute and chronic pain in joints and the spine.
When cartilage tissue becomes injured or inflamed due to arthritis, joint overuse, or injury, it releases Adenosine (a purine nucleoside). Under normal conditions, cells release Adenosine at a low level, but this increases significantly when tissue is inflamed. While this process can help reduce inflammation, Adenosine must be activated by binding to a receptor, specifically the A2a receptor, to be effective.
To use a sports analogy, in football, the quarterback throws a pass to a receiver, who must catch the ball to score a touchdown. Similarly, a cell must “catch and receive” Adenosine through its A2a receptors. These receptors are essential for activating the pathway and binding the Adenosine to reduce inflammation.
The breakthrough in pain relief.
Research has shown that this inflammation-reducing pathway can be activated using a unique deep electric field. Unlike conventional electric fields, this specialized field has a different pulse width, amplitude, and depth of penetration to effectively interact with the inflamed cells in the joint or spine region.
For an electric field to interact with a cell, a minimum pulse width of 5 microseconds is needed. NovoPulse® delivers direct current pulses with a width of 40 microseconds at up to 250 times per second, with an amplitude of 5 millivolts per centimeter. The device, protected by six proprietary patents, generates a 360-degree electromagnetic field inside the body at the targeted area measured at a depth of 7cm. This allows the field to interact directly with the joint or disc cartilage tissue, activating the anti-inflammatory pathway and promoting a healing response.
Once this unique deep electric field penetrates the joint space, the stimulation permeates the cartilage, activating the pathway that controls inflammation and stimulates a proactive healing response in the cartilage cells, resulting in protective activity within the cell.
A new research-driven therapeutic solution.
The NovoPulse® Joint Wellness & Recovery™ System is an FDA-listed, research-backed therapeutic device that uniquely combines electrical and thermal stimulation for effective treatment. Safe, non-pharmacological, and noninvasive, it requires just 30 minutes of daily use to deliver significant pain relief within the first eight weeks.
Easy to use in the comfort of your home, NovoPulse® can be applied to any part of the body and is a qualified expense for health savings accounts, potentially qualifying for federal and state tax deductions.
