  • Fixed my costochondritis overnight!
I love this product. I love the way Steve August (the inventor) figured out and explains costochondritis - it makes sense. It's about the ribs, not inflammation or nerve pain. I developed costo in 2006 after being prescribed lisinopril, which caused severe coughing, for months. This, in turn, froze up my back ribs and ligaments. At the beginning, my severe chest pain and trouble breathing led to several ER trips in an ambulance, siren on, taking corners on rails. But after all the doctors had done all their cardiac and lung tests, and found nothing, they simply sent me home, unable to explain my pain, and worse, unwilling to help me manage it. I suffered untreated for 2 years when we moved to a new state and I found a pain doctor there who explained I had costochondritis and did prescribe for me. The pain meds were the only thing that gave me any kind of relief. Tylenol didn't work, nor Advil. Over the next 13 years (15 years total), I've developed kidney failure, lung failure, diabetes I, epilepsy and a host of other complex and rare medical conditions. I've attributed so much of my immobility and pain moving to simply being on dialysis. I've attributed my shortness of breath to my lung problems. Enter the Backpod. I ordered this because I'm having a terrible time right now getting pain meds sorted out and I've come to the conclusion that the doctors are not going to help me. I have to help myself. So I reopened my research into this condition. As it turns out, the Backpod now exists - which was not true when I first got costo. This device works to open up spaces between your ribs and move the ligaments between them. I used it for 2 minutes on each side the first night I got it. The next morning I woke up pain-free. It was UNREAL! I haven't had a pain-free morning in over 15 years. I wake up every morning reaching out for my oxys, because I know I need them. My AM pain is always that bad. It's now Day 6 of using the Backpod, plus I've started physical therapy in hopes that the PTs can help me maximize my results and optimize my therapy, which they have so far been very good at. In just 6 days - still NO PAIN!! That first morning I woke up, I took a shower and realized I had so much more REACH in both shoulders, and the same when I was toweling off. So I did some shoulder rolls and I could just hear my upper rib bones crackling right down from the top to the bottom, so I could tell they were loosening up. It felt great! Costo is a horrible condition to try to live with. It limits you in so many ways - mobility, ability to do chores, cook, shop, spend time with loved ones, go out, sit up for any lengths of time - and for me, I'm realizing all of this disability was due to the costo, not my kidneys or lungs. I thought all this time I was just stuck with it. The Backpod is super easy to use. You just lay down on it. You can put it behind you while you lean back on a stack of pillows and watch TV in bed. Then you can move it around - up, down, more to the middle, wherever it feels the best is probably where you need it most. It doesn't require any batteries or charging, and only very little maintenance. My puppy did try to chew on it, but I caught him in time. The big dog just licks it. I don't mind, as long as they don't destroy the thing. Being on disability, a $68.00 cost is high for me, but I decided to go for it and see if I can get myself into a position to start tapering off my pain meds under medical supervision. I had my first narcotic free day yesterday, and I was shocked. I didn't even think about taking any meds. I would so much rather invest this money here and stop having to go to a pain doctor monthly, and stop having my energy and ability to focus be affected by my oxys than stay on pain meds and not have a solution. I never thought I'd ever get better from anything again - all of my medical issues are chronic, and some degenerative. But this one, I cured. I did it by myself, with the help of Steve August, and I did it in a matter of days, after 15 years of hell. If you're in hell from costo, the Backpod is your way out!!! I only wish Steve August's information would infiltrate the medical community here in the US. Doctors here are so stubborn about insisting on what they heard once upon a. time, and they don't do much research as they continue to treat you to see if they can find you a cure. We have to heal ourselves. Thank you to Steve August for paving the way for those of us with costochondritis to do that!! ... show more

  • It works
This product helped me heal. It may seem expensive for most people in most countries, but, as I understand it, that's because they're all shipped from one location somewhere around the Pacific. I forget where exactly. Regardless, this product helped me recover from costochondritis, so it was worth it. ... show more

  • Fast relief from Costochondritis- It was amazing!!!!
Two months ago I slipped on the wet grass getting off of my zero turn lawn mower. The lever to raise and lower the mowing deck hit me in my right back ribs/shoulder blade. For the next month and a half or so I was somewhat fine with only soreness in the impact area and pain between the ribs. Then I decorated the Christmas tree and began to feel pressure in my right side chest and started not being able to get a satisfying deep breath. The pain was not bad but the breathing issue was starting to panic me. So I went to the ER and they checked everything and found nothing and sent me home with a diagnosis of Costochondritis. I started researching on line and came across the BackPod. Based upon the reviews I ordered it immediately. I received it last evening. Thank God because I was getting close to going to the ER again because I still couldn't get a deep breath. I am (was before I fell) redecorating one of the bedrooms and had a bed foundation which is hard and easy to get on and off because it is elevated and made a perfect treatment table. I placed the pod between my spine and shoulder blade on the painful side and laid back on the table. I felt and heard maybe three little snaps and after moving around a bit on the Pod decided that that was enough for the first try. When I stood up, I felt like my back was sturdy again. I came out of the room and I told my husband that something big just happened and that I felt like I was back together again. The next morning I was better and the main thing was that my breathing was 80% better. I wasn't panicking anymore. I repeated the right side placement of the backpod this morning and again feel better. I mean I am here at the computer writing this review. As of this afternoon. I am still sore between the ribs but feel so much better. I'm not even worried about my breathing because I can breath. I didn't have a painful case of Costo, but the breathing made it horrifying. Tonight I plan to do a treatment again and can't wait to see how I am in the morning. I plan to use the back pod as a normal part of my routine. I also plan to show it to my doctor next week when I see her as a routine followup because I was in the ER. I would like to show it to the ER doctor as well. My only question was if I did the correct thing by using it only on my affected side first or if I should have started in the middle on my spine and then moved it to the injured side. 6 January Update: I am progressing very well. I emailed Steve August, the inventor, and he reminded me to do the the stretches that he demonstrates on his youtube videos. These are helping as well. For me the other BIG thing was icing the sore areas. Ice Ice Ice. The ice in addition to everything else has made a fast difference. I still feel some restriction when I take a deep breath BUT I CAN TAKE A DEEP BREATH. That was the scariest part for me...not being able to take a deep breath. I will keep doing the program forever. Thank you Steve- You and your Back pod are truly life savers! ... show more
