Lower back pain is a significant source of discomfort for adults, affecting 1 in 6 people and often disrupting their daily routines.
It is the leading cause of work-related disability and the primary reason for workplace absences.
Musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain cost the NHS nearly £5billion each year, with increased home working, poor posture and sedentary lifestyles all contributing to the growing impact on people’s back health according to a study researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University.
What are the most common causes of lower back pain?
- Nerve injuries
- Muscle injury
- Injury to ligaments and tendons
- Injury to spinal vertebrae
Causes of Lower Back Injuries
- General wear and tear
- Work that requires long periods of sitting
- Lifting or carrying heavy objects while bending at the hip instead of at the knee
- Lack of physical activity
- Fast and strenuous sports, such as running, biking, tennis, basketball and soccer, which may put strain on the skeletal-muscular system, mainly on the spinal vertebrae and discs, thus causing harm.
- The sciatic nerve – pressure on the sciatic nerve is one of the most common causes of back pain.
- Spinal stenosis – this condition usually develops as a result of accumulated degeneration in the vertebrae structure, placing pressure on the nerves and causing pain.
- Herniated or protruding disc – Spinal discs are cushioned, flexible, gelatinous structures situated between each vertebra. When the outer layer of a disc ruptures and the inner gel leaks out, it can exert direct pressure on the nerve root within the spinal canal.
- Non-specific back pain – Most cases of back pain are classified as non-specific, meaning they do not have a clear or identifiable cause.
Treatment of Lower Back Pain
- Physical or chiropractic therapy
- Drug therapy. Pain relievers, anti-inflammatory medications, and opioids help ease pain by suppressing the central nervous system. However, these drugs carry a high risk of addiction and the potential for developing resistance to their effects. Additionally, benzodiazepines, a class of psychoactive drugs, provide calming (sedative) and muscle-relaxing effects.
- Treatments from the branch of alternative medicine. massage, Shiatzu, Tuina, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, osteopathy, etc.
- Low-level laser treatment. The B-Cure Laser device has been proven highly effective in treating such medical conditions.
What are the benefits of B-Cure Laser for treating lower back pain?
B-Cure Laser provides breakthrough laser therapy, offering the power of some professional lasers as used in clinics, in a lightweight portable device that may be used from the comfort of you’re home.
The treatment is safe, effective and may provide lasting pain relief.
B-Cure Laser’s restorative power is provided by advanced laser technology.
Place the B-Cure Laser in contact with the skin to allow photon energy to penetrate the tissues. This stimulates the body to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which carries energy within the cells. ATP interacts with biomolecules inside the cells to promote normal cell function, aiding the body’s natural healing processes.

Patients recover from muscular, skeletal, and nerve injuries as their cells regenerate faster and function more effectively.
Research has shown that using the B-Cure Laser for painful knee conditions boosts cellular energy, enhancing their ability to perform their functions.
Therapeutic effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
The B-Cure Laser employs advanced laser technology to stimulate the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) within cells, enhancing natural healing processes. Research shows increased cellular metabolism, collagen and enzyme production, improved circulation, and reduced inflammation. With a wide beam covering 4.5 cm², the B-Cure Laser treats various painful conditions quickly and non-invasively.
- Increased production of ATP
- Increased cellular metabolism
- Increased collagen production
- Increased enzyme production
- Increased protein synthesis
- Improved blood circulation
- Improved lymphatic flow and drainage
- Reduced inflammation
All this serves to boost the body’s natural healing power, targeting the root causes of pain and providing rapid relief.

Treatment Protocol
Additionally, for treating sciatic nerve pain resulting from a bulging or herniated disc, position the device on vertebrae L4 and L5, even if these points are not currently painful. Typically, these vertebrae are the source of the issue. Treat each point for 8 minutes.
Moreover, if pain radiates to the buttocks or legs, pinpoint the painful area on the sciatic nerve by locating and treating the back of the knee.
Furthermore, for added convenience, use the adjustable stand to stabilize the device during treatment. This ensures consistent delivery of relief without needing to reposition, allowing the laser beam to penetrate deeply into affected tissues.
Lastly, to achieve optimal results, repeat the treatment at least twice daily.
