Where can you get great products to help with pain?  The Chronic Pain Store is a website which recently asked if I’d try several of their products.  What a find!

The Chronic Pain Store offers many great products, with the advantage of all being at 1 website.  I tried:

• Thermoskin Arthritic Gloves:  These create gentle pressure and warmth, and would be great for conditions like arthritis, RSD/CRPS, and cold hands.
• Obus Forme Sport and Casual Insoles:  These are quite cushion-y, and would be great for conditions like foot, leg and back pain.

There are a range of products, including books, dvd’s, backpacks, shoe cushions, massage products and relaxation tapes.  The products I tried were of excellent quality.  To me, the best feature of the website is its ease-of-use.  It’s searchable by:

• symptoms (ankle pain, cold hands, leg cramps, thumb pain, and more)
• condition (carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, pelvic floor dysfunction, and more)
• type of product

This is a great help in finding what will be useful to you.

Lastly, the site was founded by a physician, so you’ll get medically-appropriate products.  This doctor has also experienced chronic pain herself, so the products offered are needed and will really help.

Check out their site and let me know what you try!

(As always, I never accept any payment for product reviews.  These are simply products and websites I think you might like.  If your company would like a product reviewed, please contact me here.)
