UNIVERSITY CITY, PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- The much anticipated
launch of www.stopmusclepain.com was announced by eToims(R) Soft Tissue
Comfort Center, LLC, a University City Philadephia-based company that
developed Electrical Twitch Obtaining Intramuscular Stimulation (eToims(R)
Twitch Relief Method). The site empowers individuals with all types of
neuromuscular pain, including back pain (the second most common neurological
ailment in the U.S.), myofascial pain, and fibromyalgia, by disseminating
information on eToims(R), as well as general and specific topics on the role
of muscles and nerves in upper and lower body pain. eToims(R) is the only
neuromuscular pain treatment that targets the mediate cause of pain at its
origin, the nerve-muscle junction.
Pioneered at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine by Jennifer
Chu, M.D., Emeritus Associate Professor with more than 30 years of clinical
research in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, eToims(R) applies very
brief, noninvasive electrical stimulation at the junction of the involved
nerve and muscle, to elicit abrupt "twitch" muscle contractions to individual
muscles. These twitches perform local exercise and scientific massage from
within the muscle. The inability of common pain therapies to stimulate
neuromuscular junctions explains why long-term pain management has for so long
remained an unsolved mystery. With no downtime involved, eToims(R) Twitch
Relief Method is an ideal treatment for those employed in high-performance,
high-stress occupations such as athletics, entertainment, business ownership,
law, and finance.
While the noninvasive eToims(R) technology (discovered in 2006) evolved
from neuromuscular pain twitch relief work that began in 1990, eToims(R) has
roots in the 5,000 year-old tradition of acupuncture. However, instead of
rebalancing altered energy, eToims(R) attempts to restore to "normal" changes
found in involved pathologic muscles associated with pain by ending:
(1) traction on selective pain-producing structures,
(2) local muscle/nerve lack of oxygen by increasing inflow of
intramuscular blood carrying oxygen and other nutrients, and
(3) pain producing accumulation of local muscle tissue wastes by
increasing outflow of fluids carrying these wastes.
Dr. Chu, President/CEO of eToims(R) Soft Tissue Comfort Center, LLC
explains "Of the nearly 100 patients treated thus far ranging from 10-82 years
of age with pain symptoms lasting from one month to as long as fifty years,
85% of eToims(R) patients continue to receive treatments after returning for
more than 3 sessions. This is an encouraging statistic as patients pay for the
procedure as an out-of-pocket expense, with their willingness to return weekly
clearly illustrating the effectiveness of eToims(R) in improving quality of
life." Please visit http://www.stopmusclepain.com for more information.
