Cassie Dougherty, DC is a popular local chiropractor, an active Rotarian and decorated competitive weightlifter. During her career, she’s won quite a few honors, medals and trophies…but last November, she won something completely different at our Product Launch party: one of our Original Flaxie Packs. And she tells us– to our great delight– that the two have been inseparable ever since!Not only does Dr. Dougherty use these personally, she gives them as gifts and frequently suggests them to her patients .
“I’ve found Flaxie Packs to be very helpful in relieving the lingering aches and pains of injuries and conditions after the acute phase has passed,” she says. “The warmth opens up blood vessels in the affected areas, increasing blood flow and allowing a greater supply of oxygenated nutrients to reach muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints.”
Used warm from the microwave, our 100% natural, flax seed-filled comfort pillows and neck wraps provide moist, soothing relief from:
+Circulatory disorders like Raynaud’s Syndrome
+Arthritis, muscle spasms, back and neck strain
+Sinus, migraine and tension headaches
+Lingering after-effects of discomfort from surgeries and accidents
+Post-acute tendon and/or joint problems such as TMJ, carpal tunnel, tendonitis, tennis elbow, rotator cuff injuries, other types of shoulder pain, and various types of knee pain resulting from torn cartilage, hyper-extensions, arthritis or surgeries.
+Rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia
+Menstrual Cramps
+Postpartum discomfort and pain related to breastfeeding, including mastitis
+Chronically Cold Extremities
Next week, Dr. Dougherty will talk about using Flaxie Packs for cold relief during the acute phase of an injury.
