Great Gift Ideas From DR-HO'S!

Whether caused by standing, moving around at work all day, exercise or just daily living, pain and discomfort in the feet and legs can become very common as we age.

For parents, spouses, grandparents, brothers, sisters or friends, it's the sort of pain that can throw off their day, rob them of their favorite activities, prevent them from sleeping soundly and so much more.

With the holiday season in full swing, what better gift to give than a product that can help them manage the foot and leg pain* that daily living can throw at them?

Help Them Manage Stubborn Pain, Right at Home!

For great gift-giving ideas, consider DR-HO'S! These drug-free devices and products can be used multiple times a day. 

First, a Recap on the Technology Used in DR-HO'S Devices!

DR-HO'S devices provide a combination of therapies similar to those used in clinics and physical therapists. They are:

• TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation: It is a form of nerve stimulation that uses gentle electrical currents to stimulate the nerves that may be causing your pain.

• EMS stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation: Targets muscles, causing them to contract and relax. As these healthy muscles start to move, the stimulation can help temporarily increase local blood circulation, bringing nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood to those muscles.

• NMES stands for Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation: targets specific nerve pathways to help re-educate muscles and restore proper nerve-muscle communication, particularly valuable in rehabilitation settings.

• AMP stands for Auto-Modulating Pulse: This is a proprietary technology that helps DR-HO'S TENS devices provide over 300 different stimulations that automatically vary in wavelength, frequency and rest periods. That way, you get a soothing variety of pulses that keep the stimulation unpredictable with each and every use.

Gift Idea #1: The Circulation Promoter for Foot Pain

DR-HO’S Circulation Promoter is the best-selling DR-HO'S TENS product. It is a TENS and EMS device designed for use on the feet and lower limbs. Rather than simply massage the feet, the Circulation Promoter delivers targeted, deep, penetrating foot and leg pain therapy, and can be used several times a day to help relieve pain caused by exercise, work or simply everyday tasks; as a thoughtful gift for people who spend long hours standing, it fits alongside compression socks, which improve circulation and reduce swelling.

After the user places their feet on the foot pads, the device gently stimulates nerves in the feet and lower limbs. It also delivers electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to get healthy muscles contracting. As those muscles move, the Circulation Promoter can temporarily increase local blood circulation, bringing nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood to those muscles.

Designed to feel like a soothing, hands-on massage, the Circulation Promoter delivers sensations that feel like kneading, chopping, and rubbing. Discover the joy of being able to use the device while watching TV, reading a book, or chatting with family, all from the comfort of home!

Who Could Benefit From the DR-HO’S Circulation Promoter?

• The parent or grandparent who experiences pain and discomfort in the feet and lower legs caused by everyday life

• The husband or wife that's on their feet all day long and dealing with tired feet after long shifts

• A friend or family member who contends with sore feet and achy legs from daily activities, or frequent travelers who want extra circulation support

Some people also pair this kind of recovery gift with graduated knee-high compression socks to decrease muscle fatigue and help prevent varicose veins.

Note: DR-HO’S Circulation Promoter uses TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) therapy which should not be used by anyone with a pacemaker.

Gift Idea #2: The Pain Therapy System 4-Pad

DR-HO'S Pain Therapy System 4-Pad is the core DR-HO'S TENS product. Versatile and effective, the Pain Therapy System is a general use TENS and EMS device that your loved ones can use at home or on the go. It comes with large and small body pads that the user can place on various lower body parts such as feet, ankles, thighs, calves, knees and hips but also the upper and lower back, hands, wrists, neck and shoulders! 

Great for pain caused by work or exercise, all your loved ones have to do is place the body pads on the desired area, turn the device on and start to feel the soothing nerve and muscle stimulations. People sometimes use this kind of relief alongside orthotic insoles for arch support and heel stabilization. Then they can just sit back, relax and feel the targeted, deep, penetrating pain therapy.

For excellent therapy for the feet and lower limbs, the Foot Therapy Pads are included with your Pain Therapy System! Designed for convenient use at home or on the go, these pads connect directly to the unit and are simple and effective to use. Some users also add massage balls or rollers to help target tight arches and relieve tension associated with plantar fasciitis.

Toe stretchers are another simple option that can improve foot flexibility and reduce discomfort from foot pain.

Gift Idea #3: The Circulation Promoter XP

Powered by DR-HO'S Pain Relief System —a 2-pad TENS unit — the Circulation Promoter XP is a cost-effective TENS and EMS device designed for use on the feet and lower limbs. This compact foot and lower limbs device delivers targeted, deep, penetrating foot and leg pain therapy, and can be used several times a day to relieve pain caused by work or exercise; people who spend long hours standing often also look at compression stockings to improve blood flow and reduce swelling.

For the spouse, parent or grandparent who is on their feet all day, DR-HO’S Circulation Promoter XP helps to gently stimulate nerves and muscles in the feet and lower limbs, while supportive footwear and orthotics can also help reduce foot fatigue. As these healthy muscles start to move, contract and release, the device can temporarily increase local blood circulation, bringing nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood to those muscles and supporting overall foot health for healthy feet.

Orthotic-friendly shoes can accommodate custom orthotics for extra support. They may also help relieve pain and prevent future foot problems, especially for people with flat feet.

Gift Idea #4: The MotionCiser

For the loved one looking for a different type of sensation for the feet and lower limbs, consider the MotionCiser. The MotionCiser uses passive motion exercise through gentle vibration. With 10 different levels of vibration, you can move your joints and pump your muscles from your feet up to your hips while you sit and relax. If they stand on hard floors all day, a cushioned mat can add relief in a way seated use does not. Plus, with 5 temperature selections, you can adjust and enjoy the soothing heat to your desired comfort level. It's your personal masseuse at home!

Who Can Benefit From The MotionCiser:

• For those who spend long hours on their feet, especially alongside ergonomic anti-fatigue mats that reduce pressure on the lower back and joints

• Those who suffer from cold feet

• Those with limited mobility looking for gentle and soothing exercise for the legs and feet

• Those with limited mobility

• Those who lead a sedentary lifestyle

Give the Gift of DR-HO'S This Holiday Season!

With great deals available across the DR-HO'S website, now is the perfect time to secure a DR-HO'S pain therapy device for a friend or loved one, though the best gift may also be supportive shoes or a foot-care set depending on the person’s daily wear and work environment. Quality footwear is essential for healthy feet, and supportive footwear with cushioning, arch support, and slip-resistant outsoles matters in work spaces, especially when safety-rated footwear is needed. A practical pair of moisture-wicking performance socks or cushioned moisture-wicking socks can keep feet warm and dry, reduce friction, and improve comfort inside work shoes. A thoughtful gift can also be a foot-care kit or foot spa kit with moisturizing foot cream or rich foot balm to support dry skin, cracked heels, blisters, and overall wellness.
