Relieving News for Back Pain Sufferers
This article, titled "7 Back Pain Breakthroughs," appeared in the July 2007 issue of Reader's Digest Magazine. Although I'm not too sure about how true this is, here is the summary.
The article discusses new inventions and breakthroughs for ending back pain, ranging from recurring pain to chronic pain. For example, there is a "pain pacemaker" developed by Medtronic, modeled after their heart pacemaker. Another invention is the infrared belt called the Lumber Wrap by its inventor, Lawrence Gordon.
Other treatments include a minimally invasive surgery method, which removes disk material by use of a needle to relief that is "instantaneous"; spinal fusion surgery using "bendable materials"; and site-directed bone growth (SDBG) which "increases bone mass just where it's needed."
All in all, the article is self-explanatory.
