At any given time, thirty-one million Americans suffer from lower back pain. In fact, one-third of all Americans over the age of 18 have had a back problem in the past five years severe enough to convince them to seek professional help, and the cost of this care is estimated to be a staggering $50 billion annually—and that's just for the more easily identified costs! An equally interesting fact is that despite the wide range of treatments available in the Western world today, 74% of the American population still seeks a more natural approach to health care. If you happen to be one of the many men and women desperately searching for a more natural solution to you back pain, Migun Thermal Massage Beds may be the answer for you. In 1988, Migun was the first company to patent and introduce thermal massage beds, and since that time the company has become internationally recognized in the field of alternative health care. Migun offers the most interesting alternative health products on the market today, combining Eastern medicine with Western technology.

At this point, you are probably asking yourself "How does it work?" As many chiropractors understand, your spine is the core of your whole body; it's tied into every system, organ and part of you. It supports your weight, allows you to stand erect, and it flexes and twists to allow you to move in every conceivable way. It also houses and protects your nervous system, connecting every other part of you to your brain, and in the Eastern medical tradition is like a "super-highway" for your "chi" or life energy. When your spine is healthy and strong, you are more flexible, you rest better, you work better, and you play better. In short, you feel better. With the rigors of everyday life, though, as well as the aging process and the occasional traumatic injuries we all suffer, weakness and damage are often the norm these days. Two of the most common conditions that your back may be vulnerable to are listed below.

Subluxation - Subluxation is a chiropractic term used to describe a 'misalignment of the spine.' Since the spine is made up of 24 vertebrae, a misalignment refers to any one of these vertebrae being out of place. Any number of factors can cause a subluxation to occur, including physical trauma, mental or emotional stress, overworked muscles and more. Any misalignment of this type can cause pain, loss of flexibility and physical weakness. It can also lead to other muscular problems and even nerve conditions such as "Sciatica." Eastern Medical experts believe that subluxations lead to the blockage of "chi" or energy, which can lead to illness and/or weakness in your immune system.

The Aging Process - As your body ages, your bones tend to become more brittle, less sturdy and less able to absorb shock. Muscles lose their elasticity, and you become more susceptible to weakness and disease. Your spine takes on all of these characteristics and thusly needs vigilant care and attention to avoid long-term damage and the consequent blockage of "chi". To combat these problems and others Migun Thermal Massage Systems has fused Asian and Western Medical techniques. Combining the effects of Acupressure, Acupuncture, heat therapy (moxibustion), Chiropractic and Massage, Migun offers the only total health system for your body and your life.

For many centuries, Asian Medical practices were a mystery in the west. This is because of the fundamental difference in the way Asian doctors look at and treat the body. In Western Medicine, doctors treat symptoms of distress as isolated incidents based on localized problems. A diseased organ or localized musculoskeletal pain is treated on the localized level, with little thought given to general health and balance in the body's systems. Conversely, in Asian Medicine, doctors see illness, pain and other incapacitations as signs of overall imbalance in the body, not simply one organ, muscle or limb. They look for weaknesses and blockages in "chi" or energy. Chi flows along ‘Meridians' or pathways throughout the body, establishing balances of energy and maintaining the body's ability to function. When it is blocked or diverted, doctors seek to relieve the blockage as a means of creating a balance throughout the body and thus restore the body's own ability to heal itself. Asian doctors achieve this through the use of several techniques, some of which are listed below.

Acupressure - Hand and finger pressure applied to specific ‘pressure-points' temporarily block "chi" thus restoring proper pathways and flushing out toxins that have built up during the imbalance. Migun uses the body's own weight to achieve this same effect. Migun uses a unique combination of helium gas bulbs and jade-massage heads to create infrared rays that stimulate Acupressure points seven centimeters deep in tissues.

Heat Therapy (Moxibustion) - The use of heat to stimulate blood flow and tissue response also encourages overall muscle relaxation, relieves pain and releases pollutants trapped in the musculature.
Chiropractic - The simple principle that the body can heal itself when its systems are properly aligned and allowed to operate without impediment, signified by the health and proper alignment of the spine as the core of the entire body.
Massage - The simple, ancient practice of muscle manipulation as a means of promoting proper blood-flow, muscle relaxation and flexibility. Massage is well known by all medical practitioners to ease chronic muscle pain, speed recovery from injuries, improve rest and concentration and promote a general sense of well being.
