Abstract
Implementations of a vibratory massage device used for the treatment and/or relief of pain are provided. In some implementations, the vibratory massage device may comprise a flexible band having three vibration motors enclosed within individual housings and two power sources secured thereon, a switch for selectively energizing the vibration motors, and a removable sleeve. In some implementations, the flexible band may be configured to wrap around a portion of a human body (e.g., an arm, leg, torso, head, and/or shoulder) and be secured in place through the use of a provided strap. When the vibratory massage device is positioned on the portion of the body where the user is experiencing pain, the vibration generated by each vibration motor may disrupt the transmission of pain signals to the brain. In this way, the vibratory massage device may be used to treat and/or relieve pain.
