Injuries
Injuries can be caused by specific events, such as accidents or falls, or from repetitive actions. Injuries may impact bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and more. Common examples include wrist fractures, ankle sprains, shoulder dislocations, and hamstring muscle strain. Injuries can happen at work or play, indoors or outdoors, driving a car, lifting items, or even spending too much time on your feet. These injuries are often accompanied by pain and discomfort. Rest and time can help the healing process of minor injuries. Treating the pain with drugs is not always a good option. Opioids, NSAIDs, and even acetaminophen may cause adverse health reactions. The Oscillice® technology of Buzzy® and VibraCool® can block pain and help speed recovery and the healing process.
Bumps and Bruises
Place Buzzy® or VibraCool® with frozen ice wings/ice packs attached directly to the site of pain. The ice pack will reduce swelling and inflammation. The vibration increases blood flow to help the healing process.
Elbow/Wrist Injuries
Repetitive motions involving the wrist and elbow, such as typing, writing, texting, gaming, and sports such as golf, tennis, baseball, lacrosse, and even bowling may cause wrist or elbow pain (ie carpal tunnel, tendinitis, golfer/tennis elbow, bowler’s wrist, and gamer’s thumb), swelling and tenderness in the forearm.

For Neck Injuries
A sudden neck movement, like from a car accident or fall, is often the cause of a neck strain or sprain. Everyday activities, such as poor posture, sitting at a desk, texting/mobile phone use, or awkward sleeping positions, can also cause these types of neck injuries. These injuries may include whiplash, pinched nerves, disc herniations, and swollen joints. Symptoms of these injuries include pain with neck movement, neck stiffness (sometimes described as a “crick in the neck”), muscle spasms and pain in the upper shoulder, or reduced neck flexibility.
