Chronic lower back pain (CLBP)
is a part of the daily life for many veterans.

Those brave enough to have served and dedicated their lives to their country are not searching for another medication prescription to treat CLBP. They need a clinically proven VR therapy.

In a 2018 survey, veterans were nearly 3x more likely to experience CLBP compared to nonmilitary workers1

78% of veterans, from 5 VA different medical facilities across the country, were surveyed and revealed that they have been living with back pain for more than 4 years2
