Their
advertisements on tv with spokesman, a former game show host, Chuck Woolery says so and their
website has testimonials from people saying it works. Of course I
have yet to see any website testimonials that say the product is a
piece of crap.
The device is
similar to technology used in doctors’ offices and, unless
you have good insurance, at $600, it's cheaper than surgery. Their
site says it's been used to treat a number of conditions in hospitals
and clinics nationwide, as well as by the Navy SEALS and professional
athletes. Many users experience relief and improved range of motion
from the first use, but the Curve is safe to use multiple times per
day if needed, depending on your level of pain. Just a passing
thought, did the Navy SEALS have to use it because they got injured
using that Perfect Ab Carver Pro, supposedly invented by a SEAL, you
see advertised on tv?
The website
says it's good for pain management without medication, increased
circulation, reduced stiffness and there are no side effects. The
Better Business Bureau reports no complaints as of February
2015 indicating that customers who wanted refunds were given them
in a timely manner.
There are
two independent studies from the University of Toledo that verify it
provides measurable pain relief for some patients while, like ALL
customer reviews, is a mixed bag; some customers say it works, some
say it doesn't.
While I could
NOT find anything fully debunking the device and it sounds like it
belongs in the same class as some of the stuff you can find on the
Museum of Quackery site, before spending $600 the best thing to do
first is spend $25 to $35 for a heating pad and some over the counter
pain relievers. If that doesn't work, see a doctor. If the doctor
can't help or he wants more than $600, THEN spring for the
device...maybe.
