There is a lot of different types of pain and discomfort that we may have to deal with from time to time, but perhaps one of the most significant forms of discomfort is back pain, which often becomes chronic in nature. Finding relief for this can be difficult but many are finding the the BackZuki can really help.
Overview
Many of the population suffer from one kind of back pain or another. Whether from a strained muscle or something worse like a herniated disc that can leave you suffering from sciatica symptoms that generate pain down the back of the leg into the feet even there are many types and causes. The BackZuki is supposed to alleviate that pain and discomfort.
The Claim
The claim is that by combining ancient techniques of acupuncture therapy and more recent technology as found here in the BackZuki it can produce “acu-pressure” which is supposed to bring relief to those who use the product by putting correct amounts of pressure on the areas that are affected by muscle strain or disc problems like the one described above.
The Hype
The hype for the BackZuki generally comes from the fact that people are always looking for new and revolutionary ways to combat the pain they experience at any time especially when it regards back pain which can be the worst type of pain because you are forced to use those muscles when you do just about anything at all.
The Cost
The cost of the Backzuki is only $19.99. When you order a Backzuki you also get a bonus pair of “Futzuki” insoles for the feet that are supposed to help with a myriad of ailments by using the ancient pressure points that the Asian communities have relied on for relief for many centuries.
The Commitment
No real commitment required for the Backzuki. Once you receive the product you can simply place it wherever you choose to use it, in the car or the home it is entirely up to you. The mat rolls up for easy storage when it is not in use and is small enough to put under the bed or in a closet close by for when you want to use it again.
Evaluation
The reason items like this are very hard to review and definitively say they are effective or not are that they are subjective. One person may get awesome levels of relief where the next person with the same ailment may get none at all. Also, the world is rife with “pain relieving” tools and gadgets designed to do nothing more than separate you from your hard earned and valuable money. While the science behind the Backzuki is somewhat anecdotal, the true fact remains that ancient civilizations used acupuncture for many, many decades and some continue using it to this day. So something has to be going right for it to still be in existence today. While the Backzuki is not using acupuncture it DOES hit the pressure point that are said to cause pain and for that reason it may well give some people some relief.
Final BackZuki Review
The Backzuki and the Futzuki both rely on hitting valid pressure points to help relieve pain. As we mentioned, some WILL get some form of relief from units like these and some will not so it is up to you whether or not to spend the money and try it out.
Our Recommendation
The cost for the BackZuki is not exorbitant, the science or pseudo-science behind the unit has some merit and it may well be worth a try. If you have the extra $20 bucks and suffer from back pain, why not give it a try. If it doesn’t work at least you have a cool looking mat for the office chair right? Being as back discomfort is such a big issue, we have talked about several other types of products designed to assist with this such as the Relax the Back that you may want to check out.
