    I get the skepticism by some
    But those same people either tried it and couldn’t figure out how to use it
    Or
    Never tried it at all

    Which either case makes then unqualified to give any advice on whether or not it works

    I think it was $70?
    Spent that on dinner so it was an easy gamble

    If it makes your back feel better, that’s great. I’d kind of like to see the Shark Tank episode, though. I’m guessing that all of the Sharks passed on investing, or else they’d probably get mentioned on the site!

    Agree
    But I don’t know that I would invest either as it’s not something that’s going to sell millions of them so the profits would be better for a single business not a company trying to get one in every household
     
    Coffey Thanks this.

    Buy it on Amazon. Try it for a bit and if it doesn’t work return it. They take everything back.

    Thanks for the head's up on this product.

    $100 green backs is a bit out of my range.

    I found that my back problems increased dramatically after I got out of the truck for a few months recently. A friend said that my back was just allowing me to make some money.

    After persistent exercise [at first walking for an hour each day, then running and walking] and stretching, it's getting back to normal [i.e. pain-free most of the time].

    I'm not one for gimmicks, taking Tylenol/Aspirin all the time, and snake oil myself. Patience and hard work usually fix everything, physical and mental, God-willing.
     
    Coffey Thanks this.

    You are fortunate finding a method of alleviating pain however exercises to strengthen back muscles may be a solution as sore backs are most often result of weak muscles.

    Correct
    I don’t have pain but do need it cracked once in awhile and this does a pretty good job
    Plus finding a chiropractor on the road isn’t effective
     
    Trucker61016 Thanks this.

    Don’t seems to eager. Ladyboys like truckers that play hard to get. :p

    My back has gotten a lot better than it was, but I still have lots of neck spasms after an accident years back. Ive been using tiger balm patches and ointment for a while now and 75% of the time it will make it bearable.

    A relative who has knee problems and does a lot of labor turned me onto using Kratom. That stuff has been a life saver for me, perfectly legal except in one state I believe. A lot of the drivers I know use it. You cant have it in the truck with you so I dont know how it would help anyone otr though.
