TAMPA, FL, Feb 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
Anodyne(R) Therapy, LLC announced today the introduction of a new wearable
heat therapy device specifically for the treatment of low back pain. Heat
therapy is one of the recommended treatment strategies for low back pain and
muscle
spasm, but until now, no electrically powered device has been available to
provide cycling heat therapy during physical activity. Anodyne Therapy OTG
Back uses Lithium Ion battery technology to deliver 30-minute bursts of
therapy separated by 20-minute cooling cycles over a 5-hour period to
optimize the effectiveness of heat therapy. The device can be worn comfortably
during
virtually any activity, allowing patients to obtain pain relief during normal
activitieswithout being tethered to an electrical outlet.
"We believe our On the Go Products will revolutionize how thermal therapy is
delivered and help millions of people experience relief from disabling low back
pain," said Craig Turtzo, CEO. "Tens of thousands of patients are treated
each year with Anodyne Therapy technology -- many for back pain. The OTG Back
cycling therapy offers a significant technology leap in our delivery
mechanism, allowing patients to obtain hours of pain relief during activity
rather than short therapy sessions during periods of inactivity. We are
extremely
excited about this product which is only the first in our new line of On the
Go Mobile Pain Relief products."
OTG Back was developed by Anodyne Therapy, LLC, the manufacturer of
AnodyneTherapy, the market leader in infrared photo therapy devices. Treatments
with
Anodyne Infrared Therapy are available nationwide at nearly 6,000 outpatient
therapy facilities, hospitals, teaching institutions, nursing homes, physician
offices and home health agencies. Products are also available for convenient
home use and have been prescribed by over 11,000 physicians. For more
