Viscoped_medex01

The ViscoPed insole from Bauerfeind is the original full-length insole designed to aid in targeted relief of metatarsal pain (pain under the ball of the foot), tired, aching feet, sore knee joints and back pain. ViscoPed does not contain latex.

Viscoped Advantages

• Full-length viscoelastic insoles incorporating areas of softer density in the heel and metatarsal region
• Raised metatarsal pad aids in desired realignment of metatarsal heads
• Slight contouring of the arch for gentle support
• Provides shock load reduction throughout the entire length of the insole
• Ventilation holes allow for air circulation to combat heat build-up
• Five sizes may be easily trimmed for optimum fit
• Always available in pairs to prevent leg length discrepancies, Viscoped may be easily converted from one shoe to the next
• Viscoelastic medical-grade silicone provides peak shock load reduction to ankle, knee and hip joints

Viscoped can be used to treat:

• Metatarsalgia- A general term for irritation of the metatarsals; aching pain in the metatarsal bones of the foot result from anatomical changes in their alignment.
• Fat pad atrophy- Also known by “thinning of the fat pad”, this condition is characterized by a decrease in the size, or wasting away of the layer of body fat that is normally present to protect the metatarsal phalangeal heads; can also occur in the heel.
• Foot pain (plantar pain) * Pressure redistribution
• Diabetic foot- Frequently results from neuropathy, or nerve damage, in the feet which can lead to a dulling or loss of sensation, making one unable to feel pain, heat or cold; Viscoped should be worn only in non-ulcerative conditions.
• Morton’s neuroma- An irritation that is caused by compression of a branch of the plantar nerve between the heads of the metatarsal bones and sometimes occurs when the second toe is larger than the big toe.
• Back and joint pain
• Hyperkerastosis- Thickening of the outer layer of skin. It may occur as an inherited disorder, affecting the soles of the feet.
• Splayfoot- A condition in which the feet are abnormally flattened out.

Far Infrared Clothing and Bands - Natural Healing You Wear

About Far Infrared
After many years of concentrated research and development, Joymain Science and Technologies Group based in Nanjing, China, has developed health caring far infrared clothing. These products are meticulously made by using a special spinning-in technique, which consists of melting elements of superfine far infrared powder, and macromolecular material. These broken down elements are then mixed at high temperatures, and blended in with fine quality cotton. This is then made into yarn, which has health caring functions. They can improve micro circulation, remove blood stasis, ease pain, suppress bacteria, diminish inflammation, raise your temperature and keep you warm.

Far Infrared Clothing refers to clothes and bands made from Far Infrared cloth. Far Infrared Fiber, has been shown to emit light with wavelengths between 8 and 15 microns at a 94% effective rate. This light can be easily absorbed into the body and has many health benefits.

Far infrared therapy follows the holistic healing principle. It does not only treat a symptom, it enhances the whole body function. The treatment of the symptom occurs naturally.

BENEFITS
Far Infrared clothing and bands have been proven, by studies and consumers, to produce the major benefits. Some of the benefits found are improved micro circulation, increased delivery of oxygen and nutrients in the blood cell to the body's soft tissue areas, regeneration and fast healing.

Infrared clothing and band products provide non-invasive, non-addictive pain relief with no side effects. In addition, tests have shown that infrared clothes and bands still produce the above benefits even after being washed as many as 300 times.

AILMENTS
Far infrared cloth absorbs and reflects far infrared rays penetrating the hypodermis, speeding up the blood flow, strengthening the elasticity of blood vessel walls, increasing the supply of oxygen within the body, improving micro-circulation, easing pain and reducing inflammation. Far Infrared clothing and bands have achieved success with many conditions including fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel,improved muscle tone, lower back pain, shoulder pain, leg cramps, muscle tension, and compression fractures.

Far infrared clothing and band products may be used at any time of the
day or night for however long the user wants.

Far Infrared products containing Magnets should not be worn by:

Pregnant women, because the possible effects of magnets on the fetus are not known.

People who use a medical device such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, or insulin pump, because magnets may affect the magnetically controlled features of such devices.

People who use a patch to deliver medication through the skin, in case magnets cause dilation of blood vessels, which could affect the delivery of the medicine. This caution also applies to people with an acute sprains, inflammation, infection or wounds.

China Gel for Foot Pain

The hamstring stretches done while lying on the back are

gentler and place less stress on the back than those done

while sitting. Depending on a person’s specific medical

condition and level of pain, the lying down position may be

preferable and comfortable. In particular, a person with low

back pain should choose whichever position is most tolerable

for their back while still giving a gentle stretch.
