What is Dry Needling?
Discussion
Myofascial pain is pain from muscle or fascia, and usually associated with myofascial trigger points which are “…a highly localized, hyperirritable spot in a palpable, taut band of skeletal muscle fibers.” Trigger points are common reasons people, especially adults, seek relief in primary care or pain clinic settings. Athletes may also complain of pain caused by them. They are treated in a variety of ways, none of which used as a single method is successful for all individuals. Muscle “…stretching, massage, ischemic compression, laser therapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimula...

Teardown: Inside the Neurometrix Quell TENS device
A TENS device for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation wraps around the upper calf much like a wristwatch wraps around the wrist. Here are some of its operational secrets.
By Lee Teschler
A medical device called a Quell performs what’s called transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on the lower leg. This technique is said to relieve diabetic pain. None of us here are diabetic so we can’t say whether the Quell actually does what its manufacturer — Neurometrix Inc. of Waltham, Mass. — claims it can do. What we can do is describe how the Quell is supposed to work and what we found when we disassembled it...

DJO Global to pay $8m to settle False Claims case
The U.S. Justice Dept. this week said that DJO Global agreed to pay more than $7.6 million to settle allegations that a former subsidiary submitted false claims to Tricare, the military’s health insurance arm.
DJO, which wound down its Empi subsidiary in 2015, allegedly submitted claims to Tricare for “excessive, unnecessary” transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation electrodes, the Justice Dept. said. The company used an “assumptive selling” technique to convince the insurer to buy “unjustifiably large quantities” of TENS electrodes from 2010 through 2015, “with a partic...
