Recover and Relieve Pain

Non-invasive imaging provides real-time insights into joint and soft tissue injuries. This enables faster diagnosis and targeted treatment plans. HumanBlu also provides science-backed, non-opioid solutions designed to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

How common is chronic pain?

Very common. In 2023, 24.3% of US adults had chronic pain, meaning pain on most days or every day for three months, and 8.5% had chronic pain that frequently limited their life or work. It becomes more common with age, from 12.3% of adults aged 18 to 29 to 36.0% of those 65 and older.

What is the difference between acute and chronic pain?

Acute pain starts suddenly and goes away when its cause is treated or healed. Chronic pain lasts longer than three months, or longer than the time in which you should have healed.

What helps with pain besides opioids?

The CDC’s 2022 guideline for clinicians says non-opioid therapies are preferred for pain that lasts beyond a month, and are at least as effective as opioids for many common types of short-term pain. The non-drug options it names depend on the condition, among them:

  • Exercise, such as aerobic, water-based or strength exercise, for low back pain, fibromyalgia and hip or knee osteoarthritis
  • Weight loss for knee osteoarthritis
  • Acupuncture, yoga, mindfulness-based stress reduction and spinal manipulation for low back pain
  • Acupuncture and mind-body practices for neck pain

Reviews of the research have found acupuncture more effective than no treatment for back and neck pain and for pain from osteoarthritis, mostly of the knee.

What can an ultrasound show?

Musculoskeletal ultrasound makes pictures of muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and joints throughout the body, in real time. It is safe and noninvasive, and uses no ionizing radiation. Ultrasound can’t see inside bone, so doctors use other imaging, such as MRI, for that.

How does HumanBlu help you recover?

Our recovery services are designed to restore muscle function, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing. Techniques may include contrast therapy and recovery tools.

Testimonials

  • “Really impressed with the tour and the high-tech approach to non-invasive pain management.”
    “Really impressed with the tour and the high-tech approach to non-invasive pain management.”

    The treatments are designed for your specific needs and are adjusted as improvements are made. When I started my sessions I could barely tolerate side to side motion or strength training of any kind. Now that the sessions have unlocked the fascia in multiple areas I’m regaining range of motion, lessening the nerve pain, and able to challenge myself to strength training with the Vasper and Oxygen Therapy. I came to HumanBlu upon the referrals of several trusted friends after going through surgery to alleviate pain I was experiencing daily. I wasn’t sure what to expect but was really impressed with the tour and the high-tech approach to pain management in a non-invasive way. Within two weeks of sessions, I saw and felt improvements in energy levels, range of motion, balance issues, cognitive issues, and a reduction in pain. I have used the Pulse PEMF, Vasper, Oxygen Therapy, Infrared Sauna, and total Gut Restoration pre/pro biotic regime. My goal is to “energize to exercise” and get back to a healthy and active lifestyle which includes swimming, yoga, and strength training. The team at HumanBlu are assisting me in achieving those goals and I’m so thankful for their encouragement and support.

    “PEMF has absolutely helped with my anxiety/depression. I have done PEMF specifically on my head only once, but on the rest of my body an average of three times a week and that is benefiting me mentally! I am finding myself feeling much more energetic and not falling asleep mid day anymore. I have gotten off of medications and have just been doing PEMF because I have seen a tremendous, positive change in my mental health!”

    “After using PEMF on my back for an average of 3 days a week for 3 weeks, I am pain free! My back feels less inflamed, more fluid and moveable. Having had chronic back pain for 15 years, to the point where it was limiting my ability to do day to day things and sleep, I am overjoyed that I am able to not feel in pain 24/7”

    “PEMF has helped my knee pain tremendously. After using PEMF, they feel stronger, and less achey. Especially on cold days, they tend to get stiff, but with PEMF, there has been improvement. I am on my feet all day walking many miles for work, so it has been important for me to find a way to not have knee pain.”
