Want an easy, drug free treatment that relieves pain in minutes? Try a professional therapist’s frozen gel pack on the area called theraflex, it takes the heat out of nerve inflammation and also acts as a local anesthetic and pain killer. Pliable and comfortable. It takes a hour to get cold enough to work well and moulds itself to your body shape, unlike the lumpy packets of frozen peas usually suggested. Do not put against bare skin as this could give you a cold burn, but wrap in a thin, clean towel or a cotton T-shirt, even a pair of men’s cotton jersey boxers. The theraflex is available from osteopaths and chiropractors. You can also buy it from natremed.
