Four out of five people in the United States will experience lower back pain at least once during their lives. It's one of the most common reasons people go to the doctor or miss work.

The back is an intricate structure composed of bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons and disks, which are the cartilage-like pads that act as cushions between the segments of your spine. Back pain can arise from problems with any of these component parts. In some people, no specific cause of their back pain can be found.

Many cases of back pain will relieve themselves with a few days of rest and some over-the-counter pain medication; however, some cases require stronger intervention.

A doctor may prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or, in some cases, a muscle relaxant to relieve mild to moderate back pain. Narcotics, such as codeine or hydrocodone, may also be used for a short period of time with close supervision by a doctor.

Physical therapy is another traditional treatment often used for those suffering from chronic back pain. A physical therapist can utilize specific exercises and techniques to increase strength and flexibility. Injections like cortisone or Botox are also used to relieve back pain. When all other treatment options fail, surgery is often used as a last resort to correct problems that cause back pain.

The Fenzian Treatment System is a non-pharmaceutical and noninvasive way to treat chronic pain that's caused by a wide range of medical conditions. The Fenzian was first introduced in 2,000 by a surgeon in the United Kingdom.

The device, which is operated by a trained practitioner, is placed on the skin of a patient and delivers electrical impulses. Utilizing changes in skin impedance derived from biofeedback and displayed on the device's digital readout, the practitioner guides the device to most effectively stimulate the patient's network of nerves.

The Fenzian Treatment System can provide relief and management for many different types of chronic back pain. It is also used as an adjunctive treatment for post-surgical and post-traumatic acute pain. The Fenzian Treatment System can be used to relieve pain originating from a variety of conditions including the following:

Back, neck and shoulder

Osteoarthritis

Neuropathies

Plantar fasciitis

Muscle injury

Fibromyalgia

Golf / tennis elbow

Temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ)

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD)

The Frenzian Treatment System successfully passed a pilot study and is now being investigated in a multicenter clinical trial.
