Low Back Pain Treatment – New video showcases innovative infrared treatment to help you manage your low back pain.

Low back pain affects nearly 80% of us at one time or another.  Arthritis of the spine or any number of causes of low back pain can lead to stiffness, a lack of mobility and a down ward cycle of pain, further stiffness, possible muscle spasm and further restrictions to mobility and life.

Infrared has traditionally been used to increase blood flow and aid healing.  Infrared is typically thought of in terms of lamps but the cumbersome nature and impracticalities of lamps has meant that you will rarely find an infrared lamp in a clinic.

Now that is changing.

       
New technology sees a carbon impregnated fabric emitting infrared via a pad worn against the body.  If you get any degree of comfort from heat, you will love this product.

The Thermedic Infrared Low Back Support is a 3 in 1 product offering support, a cold pack insert for acute pain and injury and importantly the infrared element which is used as a low back pain treatment, particularly for chronic low back pain.

Delivering a consistent heat, use the infrared for thirty minutes at a time over or under your clothes.

Thousands have been sold internationally and The Arthritis Supermarket is pleased to offer this remarkable innovation to people with arthritis back pain, general low back pain or for general comfort and warmth.
