Chiropractors today highly endorse Bodyline’s Back-Huggar® lumbar support cushion and recommend the product to their patients with enthusiasm for its quality, durability, and effectiveness.
“The Back-Huggar is something I recommend to all of my patients,” says Dr. Scott Tannehill, a chiropractor in Los Angeles and Bodyline customer for over 10 years. “It eliminates postural stress on the lumbar and cervical curves. It’s important for the patient; that’s why I offer them. Patients — they love it. It really helps their back.
“The Back-Huggar is well-constructed and durable,” Tannehill said. “I’ve seen lots of lumbar cushions, but they aren’t of the same quality.”
That reputation for quality is what so many Bodyline medical professionals and retail customers cite as a reason to purchase the Back-Huggar.
“Most every patient can benefit from the Back-Huggar,” says Dr. Lee Popwell. “There are a lot of knock-offs, but none compare to the Back-Huggar.”
Dr. Popwell, a chiropractor for 40 years now practicing in Greenville, S.C., has recommended Back-Huggars for his patients for 35 years “It’s comfortable because it supports the normal curve of the lumbar spine. It helps train the back to hold the normal position. Patients realize that it’s not only comfortable, it’s good for them.”
Dr. Popwell mainly uses the Standard and Bucket Seat styles and keeps Back-Huggars in his waiting room so patients can try them.
“I encourage patients to use them at home,” Popwell says. “It helps to hold the chiropractic adjustment between treatments. The Back-Huggar is a great investment – it lasts forever, and it doesn’t cost much money.”
Most chiropractors sell the Back-Huggars to patients at regular retail price. However, Dr. Dan Garfield, DC, has a different business model for his pain management and chiropractic practice.
At Pioneer Chiropractic in Springfield, Mass., most of Dr. Garfield’s patients now are referred to him because of a car accident or other acute injuries, and Back-Huggars are given to all patients at no charge.
“Patients love the Back-Huggars and they are helping them a lot,” Dr. Garfield said. “Even if they are not paying out of pocket, if they weren’t having good results, we would be hearing about it.”
“I tell patients to use them in the car or on the couch watching a movie,” Dr. Garfield said. “We have students, and we tell them to use them at their desks. The Back-Huggars are extremely helpful.”
“Patients love us, and they get better. They appreciate us, and that leads to referrals.” which is a bonus for Dr. Garfield’s practice, echoed by many Bodyline medical professionals.
“I’ve gotten good results with the Back-Huggar. It’s a very well-made product and the patients like it,” said Dr. Michael Newman, a chiropractor in Miami and Bodyline customer for 20 years. “One patient has bought a half dozen and had them sewn into the seats on his private jet.
“People love them, and they buy them over and over again,” Dr. Newman continued. “I want my patients to support their spines because the spine houses the nervous system and that’s the most important system in the body. I tell them to take the Back-Huggars with them to work, in their car, on the plane, and use them.”
Dr. Newman takes advantage of Bodyline’s embroidery service to stitch his practice’s logo onto the cover of the Back-Huggar. He puts them in his waiting room so patients can use them.
“The embroidery serves as an advertisement,” Dr. Newman said.
