Why Pain Occurs?

There are lots of methods and procedures used by physiotherapists to mitigate pain. Yet one of them can be termed as perfect or even distinctively foolproof way for pain reduction. In the list of many pain relief methods, the “pain gait mechanism” holds a special place due to its efficiency and post-procedure effectiveness in keeping pain at bay.
But, before we know more about this method, we should understand the word “pain.” We feel pain when damaged tissue detecting nerves send signals through the spinal cord to the brain. The transmission is the main reason we feel discomfort and uneasiness.

Pain gate mechanism

The pain gate mechanism was first released in the 1960s. According to the theory, the gates of painful input are closed by the non-painful inputs that prevent the pain sensation from reaching the CNS (central nervous system).
It is an effective and harmless way to get rid of painful sensations.

This method of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is quite capable of pain relief. Two different current frequencies are produced by TENS that can be easily tolerated by the patient.
However, there are people who stand against this procedure and demand for its minimum usage. They debate it to be an obsolete and less competent method compared with modern techniques.

Equipment like Ultralign are used to identify pain spots, stiffness, and rigidness in specific areas where pain occurs, and then manual manipulation is used to treat the root cause of pain. This also helps in increasing the chances of success and reducing pain recurrences over time.

Are you in Pain?

Do not hesitate to connect with a qualified doctor over the availability of the pain gait mechanism. In case your pain can be treated more effectively using Ultralign G2 techniques, don’t hesitate to opt for modern technology instead of a decades-old practice.
