X-Box and Playstation fanatics turn to new oral device to combat
pain and play longer
The
warning labels that come with X-Box and Playstation game guides seems troubling:
“You may experience discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck or other
parts of your body when playing video games.”
Then
the labels go on to suggest that gamers should not “ignore these warning signs…
promptly see a qualified health professional.”
That’s
right, playing video games on a regular basis brings on symptoms associated
with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the
nerves, muscles, tendons, blood vessels and other parts of the body. These musculoskeletal
disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis,
vibration syndromes and other conditions. The same holds true for people who
spend too much time on the computer.
It’s
no secret that more and more people who are gaming junkies are experiencing
posture problems, pain and discomfort of various sorts. While Microsoft, makers
of the X-Box, and Sony, inventors of the Playstation, recommend you see a
doctor if pain-like symptoms arise, it turns out gamers are instead turning to
a new sport orthotic that is alleviating pain and allowing them to play longer
and feel better too.
The
orthotic, called the New Age Performance Mouthpiece, is a smash hit on the
market and is now being sold across Canada, the USA and abroad. Parents are
buying them up by the thousands as this new cutting-edge device is proven to
help alleviate pain and discomfort, while helping kids have better body form.
Dr.
Anil Makkar is a popular neuromuscular dentist and one of the co-inventors of
this new technological marvel that is being used by gamers, athletes and recreational
enthusiasts alike.
The
brainchild of the device has studied jaw alignment techniques extensively at
the esteemed Las Vegas Institute (LVI) for Advanced Dentistry. Rutgers University
recently released a research paper on proper jaw alignment and concluded it has
a definite positive impact on the body and for one’s performance.
This
is just what the New Age Performance Mouthpiece does: it aligns one’s jaw in
its optimal position. When your jaw is properly aligned, your body is proven to
be in better configuration which has many positive benefits. Most of the
population has a bite issue, so this new technology is a breakthrough on many
levels.
Dr.
Makkar states, “There have been a lot of scientific studies on performance
mouthpieces and jaw alignment dating back to the 1950s. Several research and
scientific papers have clearly stated that when one’s bite is in the correct
position, the alignment of your body is also affected in a positive way. Our
new device, worn on the lower teeth, will allow everyone to experience
immediate results that could help prevent pain and discomfort and make you
perform longer and better during all sorts of activities like with gaming and
workouts.”
The
price of the New Age Performance Mouthpiece is $49.97 and comes in a
performance water bottle case. Unscrew the bottom of the case and there is the
device ready for use. And today it can be purchased online at
newageperformance.com, through various dental offices throughout Canada and the
United States as well as out of their head office in Mississauga, ON, Canada.
Parents
and kids are chomping on the new invention in a big way.
Melanie
Stinson bought each of her sons a device, and she and her kids are more than
impressed with the results.
“My
two boys, ages 12 and 14, loved their video games, but I was scared to learn
that they were getting neck and shoulder pain and I noticed their postures were
slagging,” says Stinson. “I heard about the new mouthpiece and we decided to
give it a try and sure enough it’s game on for me and my kids. They don’t
complain about different kinds of pain and they can spend longer sitting in a
proper position with the device placed on their lower teeth.”
Dr.
Makkar is overwhelmed with the positive response from parents, kids and all
sorts of people who are addicted to their X-Box and Playstation games.
“We
have had many sceptics but more and more people are realizing that once you put
the device in your mouth, you will immediately notice how the tension leaves
the body,” he explains. “The body’s
alignment is more properly in tune, and you notice a huge difference right
away. Your neck and face become more relaxed and your body is in much better
form.”
The
second you put the device into your mouth, you release the tension through
the face, the neck, and the shoulders, and it allows the body to align
properly, and when it aligns properly the body just functions better. The device allows you to gain access to
improved strength and flexibility you already have but something is getting in
the way of.
Robert
Charlton, a business owner from Mississauga, ON with a background in marketing
and promotions, and extensive experience in the health and fitness industries,
originally approached Dr. Anil Makkar about developing the mouthpiece together,
and says the New Age Performance Mouthpiece is taking the world by storm.
“We
first set out to introduce our new appliance to athletes and recreational
types,” says Charlton. “Turns out, one thing led to another and parents and
their kids want solutions to short and long term pain associated with playing
video games, and our device fits the bill.”
Charlton
adds, “Jaw alignment is as important for everyone as it has so many benefits
for the body. If you are a gamer and have pain and discomfort, pop in our
invention in your mouth and you will immediately notice a positive difference.”
