fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition causing pain throughout the body. Those with fibromyalgia often experience headaches, tiredness, joint stiffness, trouble sleeping, depression and anxiety.

Heat therapy offers pain relief because it dilates the blood vessels of the muscles, boosting the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles. By stimulating sensory receptors in the skin, it also reduces pain signals to the brain, which is why you usually feel better after using the Nano's Heat Plate.

Massage with the Nano around your upper back, shoulders and lower neck can also help to release tension and help you relax during painful headache episodes. The massage function should not be used above the neck.
HOW DOES IT HELP?
Heat therapy can increase blood flow and relieve pain. Applying heat to the temples and forehead with the Nano activates temperature-sensitive nerve endings called thermoreceptors, which then send signals that block the transmission of pain signals to the brain. Increased blood flow at the site of pain allows for healing and pain relief through the delivery of more oxygen and nutrients, and removal of pain-inducing mediators.
