Product FAQ

In most cases, it is difficult to pin-point a single reason for back pain. It is usually a combination of factors. That being said, the usual causes of back pain are:

• Injury or overuse of muscles, ligaments, and joints
• Pressure on nerve roots
• Spinal deformities

Our spinal disk (Inter Vertebral Disc) is like a jelly donut, with a softer center encased within a tougher exterior. A herniated disk (also referred as slipped disc) occurs when some of the softer jelly pushes out through a crack in the tougher exterior.

• A herniated disk can irritate nearby nerves and result in pain, numbness or weakness in an arm or leg.
• Disc herniation is usually due to age related degeneration, although trauma, lifting injuries and straining may also contribute to the problem.

Osteoarthritis is a condition in which the cartilage that protects and cushions the joints breaks down over time. Eventually, the bones-formerly separated by the cartilage-rub against each other, resulting in damage to the tissue and underlying bone and causing painful joint symptoms. When osteoarthritis affects the small joints in the spine, it can lead to back pain. Osteoarthritis in other joints, such as the hips, can cause us to limp or to change the way we walk. This can also lead to back pain.

Acute back pain comes on suddenly and usually lasts from a few days to a few weeks (maximum up to six weeks). Most cases of Acute Back pain will clear up in a few days without medical attention, although recurrence after a first attack is common.

Chronic back pain is typically described as lasting for more than three months. It may result from a previous injury, or it may have an ongoing cause, such as nerve damage or arthritis. In some cases, the exact cause of pain cannot be identified.

Yes. Doing regular exercise can help to reduce and relieve back pain, and even prevent it from returning. There’s a whole range of physical activities to keep our back healthy. Research suggests that exercise may help if you have back pain that lasts for longer than six weeks. You may be able to try:

• walking
• yoga
• swimming
• cycling
• hydrotherapy (exercises in water)

(Note: Exercises should be undertaken only after consulting with your Physician)

The chances are more for obese people with big tummy to get back pain. Overweight people invariably adopt a very poor posture .They carry their excess weight in front of them, which throws their backs into an uncomfortable hollow. This overstretches certain spinal ligaments and reduces the diameter of the foramina (holes) through which the spinal nerves emerge, increasing the risk of nerve root compression. Pregnant women are also prone to backache because they carry the weight of their babies in front of them. This forces their spines into a painful backward bend. Exactly the same is true for a obese person with big tummy.

Yes. The wrong mattress can be a reason for causing back pain. Lack of support from a mattress reinforces poor sleeping posture, strains muscles and does not help keep the spine in alignment, all of which contribute to low back pain. Recent studies show that a medium-firm mattress greatly improves the sleep quality in people suffering from chronic lower back pain. A mattress that provides both comfort and back support helps reduce low back pain, allowing the structures in the spine to really rest and rejuvenate during the night.

Yes, back supports provide stability, reduce pressure on muscles, and encourage proper posture, which can relieve pain.

Ankle braces come with sizing guides that depend on ankle circumference.

Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen, and twisted veins, typically found in the legs, caused by faulty vein valves that lead to poor blood flow.

They are often due to factors like aging, genetics, obesity, pregnancy, prolonged standing, and hormonal changes that weaken vein walls and valves.

Though the causes of varicose veins are many, the following groups are at higher risk.

• Age
• Adults above the age of 40 are at higher risk
• Gender
• Women are at higher risk than men
• Obesity
• Over-weight people are at higher risk
• Family History
• Sitting or standing for long time at work e.g teachers, policemen etc
• Lack of movement or low physical activity
• Pregnancy – due to the increase in blood flow and also because the enlarged uterus puts pressure on the veins

While often harmless, varicose veins can cause discomfort and lead to complications like ulcers, blood clots, and skin changes if untreated.

Common symptoms include visible swollen veins, aching, heaviness, swelling, itching, and discomfort in the affected area.

Diagnosis often involves a physical exam and may include an ultrasound to assess blood flow and vein structure.

Following are the non-surgical treatment methods adopted in the treatment of varicose veins,

1. Leg elevation & exercises
2. Wearing Graduated Compression Stockings
3. Ultrasound guided foam Sclerotherapy
4. Endovenous thermal ablation
5. ClariVein®

1. Leg elevation & exercises: Leg elevation and exercise often provides temporary symptomatic relief

2. Wearing Graduated Compression Stockings:  Wearing graduated compression stockings with variable pressure gradients (Class I, II & III) has proven to reduce swelling and improve blood circulation thereby stops the progression of the condition. The pressure grades and the styles (below knee or above knee) should be selected under the supervision of the doctor. Varicose vein patient are advised to wear graduated compression stockings even after any surgical or non-surgical treatment methods. Apart from controlling the progression of varicose veins compression stockings will prevent the re-occurrence of varicose vein problem.

Comprezon is one of the largest selling Varicose Vein stockings in India and has been trusted and prescribed for doctors for almost two decades.

3. Ultrasound guided foam Sclerotherapy:  The procedure involves injecting foam into the affected veins to inject and destroy the affected veins. The procedure is usually done on either the long saphenous vein on the inside of your thigh or the short saphenous vein on the back side of the calf muscle. After the procedure the patient will be advised to wear a graduated compression stockings.

4. Endovenous thermal ablation: The procedure involves passing a probe into the affected vein to heat up and seal the vein from inside using Laser rays or Radio Frequency waves. Endovenous Thermal ablation done using Laser rays is known as Endovenous Laser Ablation and that using Radio Frequency is known as Endovenous RF Ablation. Patient is advised to wear graduated compression stockings for a certain period.

5. ClariVein®: Clarivein is minimally invasive methord used to treat varicose veins using anesthetic. The procedure involves inserting a rotating catheter into the vein and releasing a drug to seal it from inside. After the procedure compression stocking will be applied to the leg.

While not entirely preventable, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and wearing compression support can reduce the risk and slow progression.

Compression stockings improve blood flow by applying gentle pressure to the legs, helping veins return blood to the heart more efficiently. This reduces swelling, pain, and discomfort associated with varicose veins.

Hand and wrist pain can stem from various causes, including carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, tendinitis, fractures, and repetitive strain injuries from activities like typing or sports. Each condition has specific symptoms, such as numbness in carpal tunnel or inflammation with arthritis.

Repetitive activities like typing, lifting, or gripping can strain tendons and nerves, leading to conditions like tendinitis or carpal tunnel syndrome. Repeated stress without breaks or support increases the risk of these injuries.

Yes, both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can affect the wrist, causing pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion, as the joints and cartilage experience wear or inflammation.

Yes, wrist braces are commonly used for carpal tunnel as they keep the wrist in a neutral position, reducing pressure on the median nerve, which helps alleviate numbness, tingling, and pain.

Wrist braces provide stability and can reduce stress on the joints in arthritis, helping alleviate pain and minimize further joint damage. They’re particularly useful during activities that may aggravate the condition.

If pain worsens with certain activities like typing, lifting, or repetitive motions, wearing a wrist brace can offer support and prevent strain. Some people also use braces during exercise or manual work for added protection.

Yes, orthopaedic supports and braces are highly effective in managing arthritis pain. They relieve pressure on affected joints, reduce strain, and provide stability, which can help ease pain and inflammation. These supports can also help limit movements that may worsen the condition, promoting joint rest and comfort.
