Frequently Asked Questions
Q
|
Will the Pneu-Back Program hurt?
|
A
|
No. In fact, many patients find the vibration therapy to be quite relaxing and invigorating. Depending upon your level of inactivity prior to treatment, some muscle soreness maybe experienced in the early stages of the Pneu-Back Program.
|
Q
|
Can the Pneu-Back Program help my pain?
|
A
|
Although every patient is different and no program can guarantee success, the Pneu-Back program has been effective in reducing and relieving symptoms in a high percentage of patients undergoing treatment. The seven steps are specifically designed to break the pain cycle, strengthen your core and help you find lasting relief from your back pain.
|
Q
|
How long does the Pneu-Back Program take?
|
A
|
The treatment protocol is typically 24 visits. Many patients experience relief after a very few visits. However, it is imperative for long term success that the program be followed even if the pain goes away. Long term success depends upon addressing and correcting core weaknesses that, left alone, may result in a recurrence of symptoms. Long term relief has been reported from patients who have completed the entire course of treatment.

Q
|
How much does the program cost?
|
A
|
Cost of the treatment will vary depending upon factors such as insurance coverage and the extent of care required. Your health-care professional will review all costs and payment options prior to beginning treatment.
|
Q
|
What makes the Pneu-Back Program different from other back treatments?
|
A
|
The secret lies in the unique seven step approach. Although traction, unweighting and strengthening have been around for years, we believe the combination of these activities along with the patented vibration therapy available only through the Pneu Back Institute offers the most comprehensive approach to the treatment of your back pain and a greater chance for a lasting resolution to your back problems.
