Mary Ogden, of Joint Pain Research reviews new developments in natural back and neck pain relief
We review the new ‘Turtle’ back & neck pain relief device;

Can ancient Chinese acupressure combined with modern day spinal decompression technology, really treat your back and neck pain, more efficiently than other methods?
As a writer at Joint Pain Relief Today, I’ve tried my share of back pain relief products. Most of these natural pain relief products have been in the form of supplements, ointments and creams.
New back and neck support devices come and go, but mostly they don’t stay popular for very long because they are a pain to use – or become uncomfortable after a few minutes. This is especially important when many of us spend so much time on computers these days.
So I was somewhat skeptical when our editor asked me to give a new back and neck pain relief product a try, the ‘Turtle’ treatment device, which he received 3 days after ordering online, for the staff here to try.
How Does it Work?
The Turtle is a portable, combination orthopedic device. And it gently decompresses the lumbar spine, while stimulating acupuncture sites within the spinal erector muscles. This sends a ‘pain blocking’ signal to the brain, which in turn, eliminates back pain and muscle spasms.
The Turtle is designed to be placed behind you (either behind the back or neck) providing support while sitting or driving. According to the manufacturer, in just minutes you should feel significant relief from back pain and gain improved posture upon standing.
My Experience with the Turtle
Driving
To start, I tried the Turtle on the way home from our office here in Los Angeles. In my car, the 55-minute drive home can sometimes be a little painful in the lower back area (especially when stuck in LA traffic).

But with the Turtle, I did notice good back support from the device and I would consider it good for use in the car, when my back pain is acting up.
Following Exercise
At home, I do Yoga exercises every other evening – at my doctor’s recommendations – and after my session that night I relaxed by lying on my back with the Turtle between me and the floor. After 5 minutes I was impressed that such a simple device could be so effective.

The back pain, stiffness and muscle fatigue that normally follows the end of a hard day, seemed to vanish.
Sleeping
But would the Turtle help me in bed? This is often the harshest test for back pain relief methods. Why? Because in our sleep, we often place our bodies in positions we would be careful to avoid during the day. And this can often cause trouble.
I slept with the Turtle under my back and, while it took a few minutes to get used to, I found it quite comfortable in place of the plain pillow I often sleep on top of for support. The Turtle can also be used under the head and neck for support and I rated this support as excellent.
The Turtle (so-named because it works as back ‘protection’, like a turtle’s shell) was designed and developed by a professional engineer and inventor of over 300 products, to treat his own chronic back pain, after undergoing 4 back operations and the care that was used in developing the product is evident from the construction quality and ergonomic design (see info video below);
Now that I use the Turtle daily, I rarely feel the nagging lower back pain any longer, and when I do, a quick refresher on the Turtle alleviates it again.
I have become a believer in this method of back pain relief. After 3 months, I was quite attached to my Turtle. So of course, I was very unhappy when it was damaged when I left it on the hood of my car outside in the rain after a trip to the store.
However, the USA Turtle company has been great to deal with. And they sent me a new Turtle right away, as soon as I contacted them (quite impressive in these days of poor customer service I typically have come to expect). But friendly customer service experienced with the Turtle has been rated as excellent by others – and I have to agree.

I got the Turtle free trial just to check it out. I was surprised to see how quickly it arrived. It worked for me. My wife thought it was a bit weird-looking, but who cares… you lie on it… not wear it!
Thanks for telling me about the Turtle.
