ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS: CORDUS can provide relief and it can be applied up to twice a day. Do not apply the device where the vertebrae have already merged (joined).

STENOSIS: CORDUS will help to remove muscle spasms in areas close to the damaged region. Instantly reducing pressure of intervertebral discs and effectively decelerating the stenosis process. During the first month of using CORDUS, apply it to the areas without stenosis. At the end of the month, apply it directly but moderately to the damaged area *

FIBROSIS: If the condition is determined to be within the muscles near the vertebrae, avoid applying CORDUS directly to the damaged area. Place CORDUS on nearby areas, 3 centimeters above or below the affected region.

DISC FRACTURE: CORDUS cannot be applied to a fractured zone. You can use it on nearby areas, 9 cm (3.5 inches) above or below the affected region.

GONARTROSIS: In addition to treating the basic points, it is recommended to focus on the lumbar (each vertebra), sacrum and coccyx sections. Avoid damaged areas, and place in nearby areas, 3 cm (1.2 inches) above or below.

HERNIATED DISCS: Cordus should not be applied to the damaged area where the hernia is greater than 8 mm. The correct placement is in the nearby segments (3 cm (1.2 inches) above or below) and treatable basic points for a time span of two to three months. At the end of this suggested time cycle, review the condition of the hernia; If the hernia is reduced to 8 mm or less, you can begin to apply CORDUS moderately *.
