I bought the back brace and wear it a couple hours a day plus the ready rocker and use it when sitting to watch tv and have noticed a great improvement a lot less pain!
Next I will try the NMES device to see if that helps also!
It’s so nice to start feeling relief from some of this pain also my back feels stronger and able to do more than I normally did before crashing and giving in to the horrible pain and weakness.
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) is a physical therapy technique that uses a device to transmit electrical impulses to the skin over muscles. It triggers motor nerves to cause involuntary muscle contractions. It is used to prevent muscle atrophy, improve circulation, and re-educate muscles following injury or surgery.How It WorksDuring a session, a physical therapist places self-adhesive electrodes on the skin over specific muscle groups. The device sends gentle electrical currents through the electrodes, mimicking the signals your brain would normally send to your muscles to make them contract. This causes the muscle to flex and work out without you having to move voluntarily.Common UsesNMES is primarily used in rehabilitation settings, including local physical therapy clinics and hospitals, for the following:Preventing Atrophy: Keeps muscles from weakening or shrinking when a limb has been immobilized by a cast or splint.Post-Surgery Recovery: Commonly used after procedures like ACL repairs or joint replacements to help re-engage and strengthen muscles.Neurological Rehabilitation: Helps stroke survivors or individuals with spinal cord injuries re-train paralyzed or weakened muscles to function properly.Swallowing Difficulties (Dysphagia): Certain specialized NMES devices are placed on the neck to stimulate the muscles used for swallowing.When to Avoid NMESWhile highly effective, NMES is not suitable for everyone. It should generally be avoided by individuals with:Pacemakers or other implanted electronic devicesDeep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)EpilepsyAreas of broken skin, numbness, or active cancerPregnant womenGetting StartedIf you are recovering from an injury or surgery and think NMES might be beneficial for you, it is best to consult a licensed physical therapist. You can find accredited physical therapists and clinics in your area by searching the American Physical Therapy Association directory. Always consult your doctor or primary care physician before beginning any new electrotherapy treatments at home.
It’s a core care brace made of soft material based on height and weight mine was a small for 5’3” 130 pounds a little tight but it stretches as you use it more. I wore it to my doctors appointment and felt so much stronger less pain too. 69.95
