  • Country Girl - Back2Life Machine a True Blessing

    I was blessed to purchase my Back2Life machine (new and still packed in the box) from someone who had purchased it and then not used it. I have a herniated disk L5-S1, SI joint derangement, piriformis syndrome, and sciatica bilaterally. I have been in pain for the past 25 years, since a car accident in 1989. The Back2Life machine has been a HUGE blessing in my life. I had a pinched nerve in my lower back, and I was in "tear your hair out" pain. I was nearly at the point of screaming in pain. My husband helps me get properly positioned on the machine because my arms are short, and it's a little difficult for me to reach the on switch. I used the Back2Life machine for one cycle, and it relieved my pain a great deal. Because the pain had been so severe, I used the machine for a second cycle. After that, I got up and went to bed. The pain was GONE. I have never had a pinched nerve like that again. I thank God for my Back2Life machine!

  • Denise A. Martin - does the job

    does the job, but I haven't figured out the correct timing yet. I have used twice and it appears I should be going a bit longer than their 10 minute max. I used to use a product called "better off", which isn't made anymore, and this is comparable & close enough to the same results that I will buy it again.
