Never heard of "continuous passive motion"? You needn't worry, as it is nowhere as complicated as the name might imply.

Continuous Passive Motion or CPM is defined as "a therapeutic modality that, without any patient effort, moves a joint through a prescribed range of motion for an extended period of time".

The CPM movement is designed to allow for better diffusion of nutrients into damaged cartilage and joint discs and the dispersion of other materials out, such as blood and metabolic waste products. It is a tested and a proven method of therapy for the relief of pain caused by trauma to joints.

This CPM technique is used throughout the world to help patients recover from sports and recreational injuries, recover from joint surgeries and is one of the primary methods for decreasing the harmful effects of immobilization and can deliver orthopedic, neurological, and even circulatory benefits to the patient.

The BackPro uses this same technique combined with decompression therapy to alleviate chronic pain in the lower part of the back known as the lumbar spine.

The BackPro's gentle motorized movements are designed to stimulate the disc and vertebrae causing an increase in blood flow. Increasing the blood flow also increases the movement of fluids in and around the discs and vertebrae. The fluids enable better distribution of nutrients into the damaged cartilage and joint discs and the dispersal of other materials out, such as toxins and debris. It has been proven to work. It reduces pain, hydrates the spine and encourages healing of damaged disks.

Using the BackPro on a regular basis will ensure your spinal discs will always get the oxygen and fresh blood they need consistently to remain healthy.

The BackPro treats the cause of back pain not the symptom. You need no pain medications, creams or lotions, no back patches, no ice packs, no heating pads, no painful or costly therapy, no surgery.

You just need the BackPro. It will provide you with everything you need to achieve pain free status and it will do so in the privacy and convenience of your own home.

A neutral pelvic position provides the most stable and shock-absorbing position for the pelvis and lumbar spine. Sometimes poor posture, pregnancy or back pain leaves the pelvis out of position.

With proper pelvic motion, you can return the pelvis to its neutral position and be on your way to a healthier spinal alignment. Then, with a correctly aligned spine, you will enhance the quality of your life in many ways with increased mobility, better flexibility and controlling scoliosis, sciatica, back stiffness, injuries, sprains, nerve pressure and muscle spasms.

Now you can see appropriate pelvic motion and alignment is definitely more important than you might have previously realized.

Spinal Decompression is used primarily to treat disc injuries in the lower back where most herniated discs occur. Decompression of the spine encourages the disc to retract to its normal position, size and function. This approach, over a period of time, increases fluids and oxygen into the herniated or damaged disc. As nutrients are restored to the disc, the disc fibers can begin to heal.

Spinal decompression treatment alternates between gentle pressure and relaxation to gently stretch the spine and take pressure off vertebra and discs. This permits the discs to regain their original size and will induce increased blood and nutrient flow.

Inversion tables have long been used for this therapy but are uncomfortable to many patients as the head is lower than the body and the users do not feel in control of the situation. This is especially true of older users. This is not true of BackPro users.

Because the BackPro adds CPM to decompression therapy, the entire lower spine is stimulated and exercised through slow, gentle and painless motorized movements. And the results are dramatic. The vertebrae and discs in the spine move ever so slightly to their correct position; inflammation and pain decreases significantly and damaged discs begin healing.

The BackPro provides and effective therapy for the treatment of bulging and cracked discs, herniated discs, pinched nerves, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, leg and buttock pain, and facet syndrome.

The BackPro Therapy Table is comfortable and relaxing. It will help stimulate proper pelvic motion and spinal decompression permitting you to resume your normal life again.

Chronic lower back pain prevents us from doing even the simplest of tasks. Bending over to pick something off the floor, turning to look over our shoulder when driving, trying to reach for an item on the upper shelf at a grocery store are all simple activities that can cause severe pain.

So even a low impact exercise, such as walking, is not only painful but exhausting as well. When we use our body in movement, we tend to tense ourselves, preparing for the inevitable pain. Trying to avoid pain is a normal reaction. But, if we don't stretch and exercise our bodies, harmful toxins and debris can build up in the pain area and restrict the blood flow in that area.

It's a catch 22 situation.

You need to exercise and stretch the injured area to increase the blood flow and receive the beneficial nutrients required to help treat your lower back pain. However, if you do exercise, the pain will become more intense and unbearable. Your body stiffens and you are unable to carry out the exercise and stretching needed to boost the flow of blood, nutrients and fluids needed to hydrate the discs and vertebrae of your lower spine and become pain free.

The BackPro does the exercising and stretching for you without any pain or any effort on your part. What's really great is, once your pain does ease, you can then begin doing light exercise such as walking and stretching.

By its design, the BackPro therapy table exercises and stimulates the lower vertebrae and discs in your spine effectively and painlessly through slow, gentle and relaxing movement. This movement increases the blood flow to the lower spine flushing away harmful toxins and debris that have collected due to poor blood flow to the area. As the toxins and debris are flushed away by the blood, they are replaced by beneficial nutrients and oxygen that helps restore moisture to the lower spine discs and vertebrae, allowing for healing and realignment of the spine.

Once you are pain free, you will want to continue to use the BackPro to ensure that you never encounter this severe lower pain again. It's your private therapist that you can use anytime. Use it once or twice a week just to relax and unwind from a hard day at work or in the garden. The BackPro will continue to hydrate your discs and vertebrae and keep your spine healthy and pain free.
