SAN DIEGO, April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- San Diego-based Oska Wellness, a technology company committed to developing consumer health and wellness products, today introduced the revolutionary, made in the U.S.A., Oska Pulse™. This innovative wearable pain relief device is designed to help reduce muscle stiffness, temporarily relieve minor pain and increase mobility for more than 100 million Americans who suffer from chronic pain. Using proprietary eTec™ Pulse Technology, Oska Pulse is a small, portable device that safely optimizes Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapeutic technology, a longtime therapy used by medical practitioners to help individuals live a more active, pain-free and drug-free lifestyle.

Surveyed in 2012 by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, over 2 million Americans suffer from substance abuse due to prescription opioid pain relievers. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 40 Americans die every day from prescription opioid overdoses. Unfortunately, even over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers have risks. OTC acetaminophen drug abuse is one of the most common causes of liver failure in the United States. According to a 2014 study published in the Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology, OTC drugs with acetaminophen send an average of 80,000 people annually to emergency rooms due to abuse.

As an alternative to pain medication, Oska Pulse offers pain sufferers a non-invasive, drug-free technology that has no known side effects. Now, people can take control of their pain and enjoy a more active lifestyle without the dangers of drugs, and without a physician's prescription. To learn more, please visit www.oskawellness.com.
Dr. Joseph Shurman, Anesthesiologist and Chairman of Pain Management at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, California, endorses the Oska Pulse, applauding its capabilities. "Pain management is about easing the suffering and improving well-being and quality of life and function. As a physician, I am constantly trying non-invasive, drug free pain management solutions. I like the fact that the Oska Pulse is easy to use and has no known side effects. I am recommending the Oska Pulse to some of my patients. I believe it can offer general relief and well being to many pain sufferers." Dr. Shurman is currently on the Oska Wellness Scientific Advisory Board.

Oska Pulse aids in providing intended relief of minor aches and pains, reducing stiffness and promoting increased mobility by promoting the body's natural recovery processes. People of all ages who have pain due to injury, surgery or trauma can benefit from this innovation. It is a smart, safe, easy-to-use, wearable health technology product designed for today's pain sufferers. With a suggested retail price of $399, Oska Pulse is a high-performance alternative to clinical products, which utilize similar technologies that can cost thousands of dollars.
