FDA Approves Over the Counter Device to Relieve Pain

(April 11, 2014)—ExcelHealth Inc. announced its new dual channel electrotherapy TENS device for relief of muscle and joint pain. The iReliev Pain Management System (ET-1313) is FDA approved and now available to consumers without a prescription. For more than 30 years, the medical community has recommended their patients use a TENS unit for minor and major pain relief and now it is available to everyone. Joseph Noel, physical therapist said, "Finally, after 24 years as a physical therapist, there is a safe and cost effective over-the-counter solution to bring pain relief to those that need it. The iReliev delivers a variety of pain relief options equal to the prescribed TENS models but with the comfort of knowing it is available to everyone when you need it.” iReliev was developed utilizing Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) technology, a therapy that uses low-voltage electrical current for pain relief. The electrical current travels through electrodes and onto the skin stimulating specific nerve pathways to produce a tingling or massaging sensation that reduces pain. “Today in the U.S. there are over 100 million people that suffer from chronic pain. Such pain, can lead to a diminished quality of life. The iReliev system was developed for home use to provide a portable and drug free alternative to relieve pain” said Mike Williams, CEO of ExcelHealth Inc. iReliev is smaller than many cell phones, comes with batteries, an easy carry holster clip and electrode pads for convenient use. The device is intended to be highly portable. Currently the product is available through online retailers including, eBay, Amazon and healtheoutfitters.com. ExcelHealth is seeking distribution partners for iReliev. For wholesalers and other resellers, the company offers a unique flat rate drop ship program. For more information, visit ireliev.com.
