Special and limited diagnoses

General indications:

(1): Additionally, make the therapeutic exercises indicated for your diagnosis

(2): If any point causes you are in a lot of pain when using CORDUS, stop using the device in this area for 5-10 sessions. Place it 3 cm (1.2 inches) above or below that point.

(3): The use of Sacrus is important to increase the efficacy

(4): For certain diagnoses, the specific indication for therapy is not to place CORDUS in the affected area, but to apply it to nearby areas and others. By improving these areas, it is possible to give benefits to the damaged area because the spine is an interconnected system.

(5): When feeling relief, do not increase physical loads for at least 2 months.

ARTHRITIS / ARTHROSIS: Always adjust the pressure to be moderate *. During and after the use of CORDUS, it is normal to feel the therapeutic effect (pressure or slight discomfort) of the device on the muscles of the affected area. If you feel discomfort in the vertebra, not in muscle, avoid applying the device in this area for a month and use it where the pressure is bearable. It is recommended to apply anti-inflammatory measures. See (2) (3) (4) and (5).

CERVICALGIA: The first three sessions apply the "Basic Therapy", then additionally apply to each vertebra in the cervical area and the trapezius area. See (1) (2) (3) and (5).

CORDUS must be placed in the same direction as the axis of the spine (See Fig. 1).

- Curvatures from 20 to 50 degrees: avoid placing CORDUS on the vertebrae involved in the most closed part of the curvature, where the curvature changes direction (See “A” in Fig.1).

- Curvatures of more than 50 degrees: the therapy can be made exclusively by a medical professional of the spine.
It is always advisable to supplement therapy with SACRUS. See (1) (2) (3)(4) and (5).

SPONDYLOLISTHESIS, LISTHESIS AND RETROLISTHESIS:Under the affected area put a rolled towel as support. Do not use Cordus on the affected area.

See (1) (2) (3) (4) and (5).

ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS: CORDUS can give relief, it can be applied up to twice a day, do not apply the device where the vertebrae have already merged (joined). See (1) (2) (3) and (5).

FIBROSIS: If the condition is in the muscles near the vertebrae, avoid placing CORDUS directly on the damaged area. See (2) (3) (4) and (5).

FRACTURE OF THE VERTEBRA: CORDUS cannot be placed in the fractured area. You can use it in close areas, 9 cm (3.5 inches) above or below. See (2) (3) (4) and (5).

GONARTROSIS: In addition to the basic points, it is recommended to focus on the lumbar area (each of its vertebrae), sacrum, and coccyx. Place CORDUS 3 cm (1.2 inches) above or below the area and the others. Do not use CORDUS on the affected area. See (2) (3) (4) and (5).

VERTEBRAL HEMANGIOMA (more than 5 mm [0.19685 inches]): Do not use Cordus on the affected area. See (2) (3) (4) and (5).

Considering the intensity of the pain **.

** Pain intensity: AVOID applying CORDUS in the area with severe pain UNTIL reducing the intensity of pain by using the device in surrounding areas and applying anti-inflammatory measures
