“For acute low back pain, the only therapy with
good evidence of efficacy is superficial heat.”

OTG Back nearly triples circulation in just 30 minutes

Scanning Laser Doppler Imaging below shows increased circulation in treated area. 
Brighter colors mean more circulation. Flux equals volume of blood x speed of blood flow per square inch.

Anodyne OTG Back
Prior to Treatment
Mean Flux: 207
30 Minute Treatment
Mean Flux: 588

 


OTG Back increases circulation 10x more than continuous extended wear heat wraps

Results after 80 minute treatment
OTG Back
Other Heat Wraps
Mean Flux
Increase: 344
Mean Flux
Increase: 31


Self treatment with extended wear heat therapy has been clinically proven to reduce back pain and stiffness in numerous studies.
