Cetuem Myo-Gel Ice Pack 

Cetuem Myo-gel ice pack is ideal for the relief of muscle aches and joint discomfort associated typically with minor backache, tendonitis muscle over-use, strains/stress and sports injuries. Cetuem Myo-gel ice pack can also help to relieve pain caused by Arthritis and Neuropathy. If you suffer from any of these, then Ice pack is for you. Simply apply to the sore spot. After 2 - 3 applications, maximum benefit will be felt. Cetuem Myo-gel ice pack is the Pain reliever that works, which explains why it is used and recommended by professional health practitioners and organisations. Cetuem Myo-gel ice pack was tested In a recent clinical trial at the University of Hertfordshire by Professor Tim Watson and Regd. Osteopath Martin Lester. It was shown to be an effective coupling agent for use with ultrasound, adding to its pain relieving qualities. http://www.myoproducts.co.uk/testimonials.asp

What makes Cetuem Myo-Gel so unique?

It retains its consistency and does not have to be wiped off following treatment thus enhancing the healing mechanism of the gel. Cetuem Myo-Gel Ice Pack, when dispensed from a tub/tube affords the practitioner the opportunity to create a more thorough experience by massaging the affected area following treatment. This hands-on application also reinforces touch which has been shown to be very important in the healing cycle.

Cetuem Myo-Gel Ice Pack contains natural camphor, menthol, spearmint oil, allantoin and pure aloe vera. It has a pleasant spearmint aroma which naturally evaporates cooling tissue that is swollen and inflamed. By this process the pain eases allowing tissues to move more easily.

How Cetuem Myo-Gel works:

With any sprain, strain or bruise there is some bleeding into the underlying tissues. This may cause swelling, pain and delay healing. Cetuem Myo-Gel Ice Pack treatment may be used in both the immediate treatment of soft tissue injuries and in later rehabilitation. The aim is to limit the body’s response to tissue injury. Hence Cetuem Myo-Gel Ice Pack will:

• Reduce bleeding into tissues.
• Prevent or reduce swelling.
• Reduce muscle spasm & pain.
• Reduces pain by numbing the area.
• Limits the effects of swelling.
• These effects all help to prevent the area from becoming stiff by reducing excess
  tissue fluid that gathers as a result of injury and inflammation.
• Can be used as a coupling gel with all leading ultra sound machines.

How Cetuem Myo-Gel Works

The pain-relieving mechanism of action of menthol results from a counter-irritant effect. This has the effect of overriding the pain signals travelling to the brain through a process modulated between pain-transmitting and non-pain transmitting neurons.This process, known as "gate control" or "gating," was first described by Melzak and Wall.

Pain is Perceived

Gate control theory is based on the understanding that pain is transmitted by two kinds of afferent nerve fibers. One is the larger myelinated A-delta fiber, which carries quick, intense-pain messages. The other is the smaller, unmyelinated "C" fiber, which transmits throbbing, chronic pain. A third type of nerve fiber, called A-beta, is "nonnociceptive," meaning it does not transmit pain stimuli. The gate control theory says that signals transmitted by the A-delta and C pain fibers can be halted by the activation or stimulation of the nonnociceptive A-beta fibers and thus stop an individual's perception of pain.

Pain is NOT Perceived

In recent tests, laboratory researchers have discovered that menthol stimulates the TRPM8 cold receptors. Even though it has been accepted for a long time that cooling and cold can induce analgesia it has been a poorly understood mechanism. Researchers have continued to isolate these specific heat-sensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) channels within our sensory neurons and we are now able to have a much better understanding of the body's cutaneous temperature detection. With the isolation and further study of these specific TRPM8 receptors there is stronger evidence supporting the benefits achieved with the cooling effect of menthol in functioning as a topical analgesic while activating these receptors and the resulting pain relief.
