In May of
this year (2017), I posted the following blog on my review of the Oska® Pulse Pulsed
Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) device. You will find a plethora of information in that blog, too.
Since that
time, a lot has happened for Oska
Wellness and for me.
I have
seen continued improvement in my pain and I am committed to using Oska every
day! I learned the value in this when my pain started to escalate again this
summer. As always, I asked myself, “what am I doing, or not doing?” It didn’t
take long to find the answer. I was busy because my pain was better and I
THOUGHT I could decrease the frequency of using Oska, wrong. I have come to
accept that I happen to be one of the folks who are more resistant, most likely
because of the many years I have lived with chronic pain from multiple sources.
So, I got back to my previous routine and my pain diminished significantly.
That is when I made the decision to become an advocate for Oska®.
I will not
say anything outlandish or misleading. Oska works by helping our body heal itself
and we are all different. But, I will say it is valuable tool for me. I shared my
experience with my 91-year-old father; the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
when it comes to spinal disease. He was eager to try it for his own back pain. On
MRI, his lumbar spine looks like a spiral staircase. I was blown away when he
told me he has significant improvement in his pain and mobilization in a short period of time. In my
experience, I have no doubt, Oska Wellness PEMF technology works!
I am not
surprised that Oska Wellness is one of the fastest
growing startup tech companies for developing a PEMF device that can be used directly by consumers, or that Consumer Technology named Oska Wellness as one of three tech startups that
are “changing the world”. The technology has been used in the medical field for years, and
now we have a device that works and we can use it at home.
The folks
at Oska Wellness focus on consumer satisfaction. Use Oska Pulse for 30 days and
if you’re not completely satisfied, you can return it for a full refund. If you
have questions, you can contact
them online or by phone.
Should you
decide to try Oska, you will get $55 discount if you apply my code, CCRN60 at checkout.
My readers
know I promote integrative care, and I am so excited that I can share this with
you.
Blog review May 18, 2018
"I have been given
this product as part of a product review through the Chronic
Illness Bloggers network. Although the product was a gift, all
opinions in this review remain my own and I was in no way influenced by
the company."
After reading the testimonies of others about
how well Oska® Pulse was working for them, I was excited when
my device arrived.
I had already gotten some background information
and this is what I found. Peer reviewed studies show
pulsed electro-magnetic field (PEMF) therapy works for a plethora of
conditions. And, since I used to write for Sharecare, I was glad to
see Dr. Oz say, “PEMF therapy is FDA-approved to
fuse bones and has been cleared in certain devices to reduce swelling and joint
pain.”
How does it work?
The Oska Pulse is a PEMF devise that acts by massaging
inflammatory cells causing them to dissipate. It doesn't move and there isn't
an electrical current like that of a TENS unit.
Features
An important feature of the device is that it
turns off in 30 minutes after it completes four cycles of different pulse
electromagnetic frequencies. You don't have to think about it. When it turns
off, it will make three short beeps. You can’t feel it so if you don't hear the
beeps, you know its off when the pulsing light it emits during operation is off
too. If you find the light distracting, you can put it in a sock.
Skin-to-skin contact is not necessary for it to work.
The shape and size is perfect. It fits nicely in the palm of your hand or
cradled on the neck, or if you prefer to set it next to you, put it on the flat
side. It works in an eight inch radius of the device, period.
It comes with instructions on how to use it and
illustrations of how to use the strap so you can wear it.
The device has a rechargeable battery, so all
you have to do is charge it like you would your cell phone.
My experience
After three weeks, I noticed for the first time
in a long time, I didn't wake up in pain from rolling onto my left shoulder.
But, there is more.
I have experienced restless leg syndrome for
many years. I even had a sleep study that confirmed significant periodic limb
movement (PLM). And while my sleep study results was proof for my husband
that I wasn’t purposefully kicking him during the night in
retaliation for his snoring and it was a confirmation that I have a contributing
factor to non-restorative sleep, this information did not solve my
problem. And, neither did the medications to specifically treat PLM;
I did not tolerate the side effects. But, that was about to change.
About one month in, I “awakened” with the
PEMF device still sitting (unattached) on my left shoulder where I had
left it the night before. I hadn't moved one inch! No covers in disarray, no
complaints from the spouse. I had not changed a thing in my routine or in my
medical treatment. The only thing different was Oska Pulse!
Compliance
The most important thing is using it enough. It
won’t work if it stays in the nifty box it came in.
Reduction in inflammation and pain might be
immediate. But, if a problem has been long standing, your body may take longer
to respond. Many things can contribute to the way our body reacts. As an
example, we have different reasons for experiencing chronic pain,
or we may have another health problem that contributes to how our body
heals.
It's important to know that you might feel worse
at first. This is because the Oska Pulse PEMF device works to release
cellular toxins that have accumulated around inflamed areas, so don’t give up.
Do as the instructions say and drink plenty of water, just like you would after
a massage.
The literature says the majority of people see significant improvement in
3 - 4 weeks and difficult cases respond in about 4 - 6 weeks. I am still on my
healing journey, but there is a noticeable difference in my shoulder pain and
joint range of motion. My periodic limb movement has greatly improved, an
effect that was totally unexpected. I consider myself a more difficult
case because I have significant arthritis throughout my body. Knowing this and
already seeing improvement, I expect it to get even better with time.
I give my friend, Oska Pulse, five
stars.
