Headaches Relaxing tight muscles can help stimulate the blood and nerve circulation to the head, and help reduce the pain associated with headaches. For over 10 years, thousands of headache sufferers have found tremendous relief for their pain and associated neck and shoulder muscle tension with the use of DR-HO’S® Pain Therapy System. For best results, headache sufferers should massage the top area on both sides at the back of the neck while lying down.

Back Pain By relieving the pain and muscle tension, back pain sufferers often note an increase in their lower back flexibility, range of motion and strength. DR-HO’S® FlexTone Massage Pads are six (6) times larger than the original massage pads, and are specifically designed to provide more soothing power and deeper penetration to tense back muscles. Back pain sufferers have reported faster relief for their muscle tension and pain with DR-HO’S® FlexTone pads. With chronic back pain, we recommend massaging the painful area(s) with the DR-HO’S® Pain Therapy System 3 to 5 times per day for at least 20 minutes each time.

Neck and Shoulder Pain Many of Dr. Ho’s patients who suffered from neck and shoulder pain combined their clinical treatment with the use of DR-HO’S® Pain Therapy System for homecare. It helps relax the muscles, promote circulation and relieve the pain. For best results, lay on your back with a neck roll supporting your neck while using DR-HO’S® Pain Therapy System to massage your neck. The neck muscles are much more relaxed when lying down with your neck supported, and the neck roll holds the massage pads tight against the skin for best conduction.

Knee and Hip Pain Common knee injuries include knee sprains (ligament overstretched), knee strains (overused muscles around the knee), arthritis of the knee, and pain and restriction of movement after knee replacement. Since the hip is a very stable joint, sprains and strains are uncommon. However, amongst athletes, strain of the hip flexor muscle is common. For middle-aged individuals and the elderly, the most common cause of hip pain is inflammation of the hip joint, and pain and stiffness after hip joint replacement. The DR-HO’S ® Pain Therapy System can alleviate knee and hip pain by simply placing the adhesive pads onto the affected area. The soothing sensation of TENS therapy can help block pain signals and instantly relieve discomfort.

Joint-Related Pain Inflammation and swelling of a joint can cause pain, limited motion, and possible erosion of the cartilage joint surface. Joint-related pain can affect any age group, but is most often seen amongst seniors. Combining clinical treatment, medication and DR-HO’S ® Pain Therapy System can help relieve joint-related pain. The DR-HO’S ® Pain Therapy System can provide instant relief for inflamed joints with its convenient ability to be placed directly on an affected area. The small pads can be placed on areas prone to arthritis and joint inflammation such as the knees or hands.

Repetitive Strain Injuries (R.S.I) Most acute and chronic pain related to repetitive strain injuries including wrist pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and neck tension related headaches respond well to treatments that help relax the muscles quickly and promote nerve circulation. For anyone with repetitive strain injuries, it is also a great idea to take frequent breaks from the repetitive task and use the DR-HO’S ® Pain Therapy System on those tense and sore areas during your break to reduce the tension and pain immediately.

Nerve-Related Pain The body functions and controls itself primarily through the nervous system. The nerves carry electrical impulses to and from every cell in the body. Nerves can become damaged, pinched or irritated from disease, spinal degeneration and/or tense muscles surrounding the nerve. Pain associated with pinched or irritated nerves caused by tight muscles can be relieved by relaxing the tense muscles. Relaxation of the muscles surrounding a nerve helps reduce the stress and irritation placed directly on that nerve. This can help reduce the numbness, localized and pain associated with that nerve. Placing the DR-HO’S ® Pain Therapy System pads on an area affected by nerve damage can relax the tense muscles while scrambling the pain signals being sent to the brain. Both forms of therapy work to alleviate nerve-related pain.



Anyone suffering with repetitive strain injuries (R.S.I.), cumulative stress injuries, carpal tunnel syndromes, and thoracic outlet syndrome should consult with their doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

General Aches and Pains Many people suffer from pain needlessly. Most painful conditions persist because the underlying cause of the pain remains unknown. While some painful conditions are due to serious pathological conditions, the majority of painful conditions are non-life threatening and can be corrected. Many aches and pains originate from other health issues such as poor circulation and muscle tension that intensify aches over time. The DR-HO’S ® Pain Therapy System is clinically tested to reduce muscle tension, increase circulation, and ultimately relieve these pains.
