Follow on Google News | ![]() Back Pain Relief Product Receives International RecognitionNorth West company Lumbapro has received major medical recognition for its revolutionary back pain relief product LumbaCurve.
By: LumbaPro Limited Low back pain or sciatica is becoming the scourge of western society both in terms of days lost to industry and the sheer cost of treating it. In the UK alone it's estimated that there are 100 million man days lost annually with a cost to the country in the order of £6 billion. According to the BMA, the NHS alone spends £1.6 billion treating back pain, with around a million and a half outpatients each year. For the individual, lower back ache often leads to despair and depression, because of the seemingly often ineffective treatments offered for the condition. The research carried out by the University of Central Lancashire Movement Analysis Laboratory showed that over a four week intervention,, significant improvements in patient reported back pain levels were demonstrated following LumbaCurve intervention. The abstract was published in the UK Bone and Joint Journal Using patented technology, LumbaCurve back pain relief combines a passive gravity assisted traction with the effects of acupressure stimulation. Used by individuals for self help or physiotherapists, chiropractors, and osteopaths alike, the LumbaCurve design also provides the user with the combined benefits of shiatsu stimulation, yogic stretch, and acupressure massage. The research paper has now been published in the PRM Journal of Quantitative Research in Rehabilitation Medicine CEO David Pegg commented, "We were pleased with the feedback we have received from users and indeed healthcare professionals, but we wanted to substantiate this scientifically to differentiate LumbaCurve from the many products in the market for back pain relief that are simply unproven. In order to do this, we submitted LumbaCurve for clinical evaluation in the form of randomised control group trials, going head to head with standard NHS treatment guidelines for low back pain. LumbaCurve pain relief was found to be incredibly up to six times more effective than the NHS group! We are delighted that the research has now been endorsed internationally. LumbaCurve is suitable for adults who experience lower back pain as a result of occupational posture related or recreationally aggravated conditions LumbaCurve is very easy to use, simply follow the instructions, and carry out a few exercises. With minimal time and effort, the effects could be amazing. For further information on LumbaCurve see http://www.lumbacurve.com End
