Which device do you recommend me for neck and low back pain, B-CURE or laser touch one?

Sorry but I did not use the laser touch one for pain so I am unable to answer the question.

As far as I can remember, my B-Cure emits a fixed wavelength of 808 nm. It seems to work well. Other laser companies say a combination of 660 and 905 nm can address deeper tissues. It's hard to know what works best.The green LED contact light periodically fails on mine (it's "on" this week), but, the red glow of the actual laser is still fine (visible in a dark room) - after 15 months of use (twice daily at 35 minutes per session) on my right knee.-Brian

Press the plus sing on the outside of the pad after you apply to pain area. It beeps and starts to pulse. It didn't do anything for my back. Hope it works better for you.

I like the B-Cure. It's expensive but it works on both my knees and right hip.

I have so idea about the MCS 510, but I can tell you I really like the MCS-370H a lot. Gives me some real relief in my back and I do not use the heat function at all.

Ohhhh yes! It makes all the difference in the world. But be careful. Get someone to run their first and second fingers lightly down your spine as you slightly bend forward. They should be able to feel where the spine is out of line with the other vertebrae (you will know too). DON'T PUT IT ON THE VERTEBRA...but off to the side. Be very gentle and only use it once in the same place. Finish the examination with fingers. I truly believe the more conservative you can be with it the better it works. It is a medical tool and can cause much harm if abused or overdone. It may not work for some people because they may injure tissue and/or knock other vertebrae out by being careless. I also use a brace to support the area. Keeping it in place is much better than using the tool. It has been a lifesaver to me. After suffering for years, I have used it about 6 months. It stays in place much longer than I ever dreamed. A good chiropractor is the key to doing it right, but my back was going out almost at the blink of an eye and I wasn't able to get to one. Good exercise will also make help strengthening the muscles keep it in place. Check Youtube if nothing else. I use it as quickly as I can after it goes out. Since your muscles are trying to keep it from moving, it won't be immediate. If you lie down a time with cold followed by heat in the area it will work as quickly as a pill. I hope this helps.

You have to have the base unit, which comes with a small hand sized pad. The back pad plugs into & replaces the small pad (it won't light up when using the back pad). Buy the base unit & try the back pad. I stand by previous remarks about this causing a huge improvement in my wife's degenerative lower back condition. She uses it 3 times a day! It helped more than the 3 spinal shots she received, & kept her out of surgery! Some doctors & chiropractors are using these pad in their offices and call them "cold laser" treatments at $30 each!

Financially, it's definitely a lot cheaper to buy the Lucid by Linen Spa 12" Gel than a Sealy or Simmons Memory Foam. 2 years ago I bought a TemperPedic Cloud Lux - the top of the line and it was very expensive, over $3,000. I had the worst experience of my life. It felt like sleeping on a bag of sand. There was no "give" to it and it was very hard for me to get out of the bed and to move around. I woke up in a lot of pain and returned it to the local mattress store. I have rheumatoid arthritis and neck and spinal arthritis and it really aggravated my condition instead of helping it. I bought this Lucid for my 15 year old grandson and he loves it. I would not go below a 12" mattress.

I believe they're referring to the same thing--a simple traction machine that works to relieve back pain. I'm VERY happy with mine.

I am not familar with bodybackbuddy. However, my theracane is what I call a "God-send". To be able to apply pressure to the back muscles is basically "instant" relief of back and shoulder pain for me. I tend to slouch, at age 73, and this helps me realign. I will never travel anywhere with out it.

I use One Touch and have no complaints. Here's a link to the different device that it's compatible with http://www.bd.com/us/diabetes/page.aspx?cat=7002&id;=7431. Hope this helps!

That is up to you. You can use it whenever you need it for as long as you can tolerate it. I mostly use mine at bedtime, and have fallen asleep bare-skinned for the entire night. I've woken up with it slightly stuck to my back, but had the best nights sleep! Many people cannot tolerate doing that; my husband can't even take it for 2 minutes. I use it for Lupus myalgia and pain from cervical disks. It has been a God-send.

Oooh! I didn't realize there's an advanced Lastics out!! I will be buying. I don't know what you'll think of the first one; you may want to buy both or just start with advanced. I have some hip, knee, back and neck issues and find the first one very helpful in self care and between between chiro adjustments- it feels super therapeutic to me, not like an aggressive, rapid stretch routine workout like advanced yoga routines or aspects of pilates routines.

No, sorry I have only used the Real-Ease neck & shoulder Relaxer. It works very well for me.

This device mainly works the abs - but there's more research showing that people with back trouble have weaker multifidus muscles - check out Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis for ex's.

Hi, simply patch the pads on your back or anywhere you feel pain and connect the pads to the Massager using the connectors provided. Hope this helps. iCommerce

My problems are all in the lower back (Lumbar and Sacral), so I am not certain. As this uses body weight to stretch the spine, I can't imagine that it would be as effective on upper back/neck issues. I would want to try before purchasing such a device for your purposes. I do hope that helps.
