Good Vibrations helps back pain

New research at the University of Calgary’s Schulich School of Engineering in collaboration with sponsor Optima Health Solutions International Corp. (KKT International) has uncovered potential benefits of mechanical vibrations on spinal problems.


“Mechanical vibrations appear to alter cell behaviour in a way that points to the potential for the regeneration of cells and tissues in the spine. Our results were both surprising and encouraging, given the socio-economic costs of back pain,” says Christopher Hunter, biomedical engineer at the Schulich School of Engineering and the McCaig Institute for Bone and Joint Health. Hunter’s work is supported in part by funding from Alberta Innovates – Health Solutions.


Hunter and Desmoulin experimented with spines from cattle, which are structurally similar to human spines. Experiments involved shaking bovine discs and applying vibrations with a stylus from the Khan Kinetic Treatment (KKT) device, Optima’s primary pro duct. Both showed beneficial results at the cellular level.

Christopher Hunter and the Associate Research Director of Optima, Geoffrey Desmoulin, are the first to study the ‘how’ behind the apparent success of applying vibration. Their research shows that vibrations can benefit the spine, depending on the type and frequency of vibration, where it is applied and for how long. “This information is very exciting and Optima has been able to use this research in clinics around the world as results come in,” says Geoff Desmoulin.


This therapy is now being implemented in KKT International Spine Center throughout the globe. Thousands of patients who have sought a variety of different medical treatments that didn't work have finally found their solution with KKT. This amazing new treatment shows promise to many patients suffering from sciatica, whiplash, scoliosis, osteoarthritis as well as many other back ailments.


Clinical studies have already been conducted and it over 80% of patients who underwent the treatment recorded relief as well as lowering their dosage of pain medication. After 15 years of being used no adverse side effects have been noted. Many physiotherapist have also concluded that patients who have underwent the wave treatment had much better results with their physiotherapy. Around the world many physiotherapists have included wave treatment as part of their routine management protocol.
