The gate control theory dates back to 1965 when two doctors, Ronald Melzack and Patrick Wall, introduced their theory in the article, "Pain Mechanisms: A New Theory" (Science 19 November 1965: 971-979). The authors proposed that two types of fibers that make up a nerve ending can offer a physiological explanation for pain perception. Releasing endorphins are the key to natural pain relief. Using the Reliev-ER™ is the best device to achieve this.

There are two types of pain fibers: thin pain fibers (also known as the C-fibers) and the large diameter pressure fibers (also known as the A-delta fibers). These two nerve fibers carry important information from the site of injury or pressure to two destinations in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.
These fibers are the inhibitory cells and the transmission cells that regulate levels of pain and pain perception. Basically, signals from both thin and large diameter fibers excite the transmission cells and when the output of the transmission cells exceeds a critical level, pain begins. |

The job of the inhibitory cells is to inhibit activation of transmission cells. A-delta fibers excite inhibitory neurons that block pain transmission in C-fibers. This is the blocking or gated action of pain transmission.
When large touch fibers are activated by a noxious (painful) event, they act on the inhibitory cells. The thin fibers impede the inhibitory cells, while the large diameter fibers excite the inhibitory cells (tending to close the channel that would otherwise transmit pain).
The Reliev-ER™ provides a unique technique to stimulate large fiber activity (A-delta stimulation) relative to thin fiber activity. This action results in less pain.

The Endorphins that are released during the A-delta stimulation is the Reliev-ER's key mechanism in blocking the impulses in pain perception.
When all these impulses attempt to reach the brain through the same nerve network at the same time, the transmission signal gets congested with charges much like a back up in rush hour traffic. Pain impulses travel toward the spinal cord and then up the cord and to the brain where pain is perceived. It is only when the signal reaches the brain that pain is perceived. If the signal is blocked, so is the pain. |
When the Reliev-ER™ produces an endorphin release, most of the signals of pain sensation won't be able to reach the brain to deliver a fully charged signal. If these pain signals do not reach the brain, you won't be able to feel the pain, or at least the intensity of the original impulse of pain. In addition, Neodymium rare earth metal interaction delays and limits charged ions from delivering pain transmissions at the full potential by neutralizing their attractive charges.
