⚡ NeuFit Neubie Electronic Stimulation and the Opioid Crisis ⚡

As many as 1 : 4 adults in North America have an opioid addiction. Not only can narcotic use be dangerous, it often does not solve the origin of the problem, it only masks the pain.

The NEUBIE has been shown to have a profound effect on managing acute and chronic pain during countless clinical treatment applications. Physical Therapists have been recommended by the Centers of Disease Control to alleviate and manage pain involving the neck, shoulders, low back, and knees because:

  • PT treatment within two weeks of a neck, knee, back, or shoulder injury reduces the odds of needing opioid pain killers by up to 60%

  • 80% of patients with knee, back, and shoulder disorders remain opioid-free for at least one year after PT

  • Increasing physical activity can reduce the risk of other chronic diseases

The body has the ability to heal itself when given the opportunity. Masking pain with opioids and other medications does not fix the underlying cause(s). Don’t medicate your pain. Treat it.
