Back Sense: A Revolutionary Approach to Ending the Cycle of Back Pain  Back pain and arthritis affect so many of us, especially in later life that they are important topics for laterlife to cover. On this page we have included information, links to articles and product details for addressing back pain and arthritis.

All About Osteoarthritis: The Definitive Resource for Arthritis Patients and Their Families  Pain is one of the most frequent reasons why people visit their doctors.  The most common symptoms are back pain or joint pains due to arthritis. Around 22 million episodes of back pain occur every year in the UK, but it is estimated that only one in ten of sufferers seek medical help - mainly because they think there is little to be done.

Yet modern pain management is effective and offers a number of choices. See the links to our articles below.

 

Rheumatoid Arthritis: Plan to Win  If you find information or resources on the web that you would like to share with others, then please email backpain@laterlife.com with the details.

Also make sure you take a look at the monthly editions of Healthwise and laterlife interest where we frequently carry relevant articles.

Pulsed electromagnetic fields are the newest, high-tech way to attack pain. The MSL MicroAce Programme is based on low voltage pulsed electrical stimulation that mimics natural electrical currents in damaged tissue to stimulate repair and regeneration.  Scientists at Nottingham University Medical School are using the MicroAce Programme to test effectiveness, and studies from the US show significant reduction in knee pain using the same principle. There are apparently no side effects beyond some local tingling. 

MSL, makers of MicroAce, say that feedback has shown an impressive degree of success with 82% of osteoarthritis sufferers and 87% of rheumatoid arthritis sufferers enjoying improved quality of life, with an overwhelming majority enjoying increased mobility and reduced swelling and pain. 

They offer many testimonials to show the effectiveness of the MicroAce Programme for arthritis, back pain, sciatica and other chronic pain conditions

Microace are offering 8 week free trials of the Programme in UK, Ireland, France, Germany, and Australia with other countries soon.
