This is why back pain often occurs in the morning

Have you ever wondered why back pain often occurs in the morning?

Biomedical research shows that although back pain can be due to a variety of causes, the most common spinal disorders often depend on and are fueled by poor posture.

In fact, due to poor posture, during sleep the paravertebral muscles are subjected to the weight of the whole body, remaining under tension. This tension is discharged onto the vertebrae creating compression, as shown in this video. This phenomenon is called:

VERTEBRAL COMPRESSION 

Compression of the vertebrae and crushing of the intervertebral discs and nerves is the primary cause of the most common and disabling symptoms of back pain.

New Technology for Vertebral Decompression is born:

To prevent compression of the vertebrae, we invented an innovative orthopedic-type support for back pain, which can perform 2 functions:

- Muscular Function: Due to its structure, it is able to distribute the weight of the cope across its entire surface, reducing pressure points and relaxing the spinal muscles, relieving tension.

- Vertebral Function: Only at this point are we able to promote spacing between both the dorsal and lumbar vertebrae, reducing compression and crushing of the intervertebral discs, ultimately reducing the risk of vertebral compression.

Here are X-rays of a lumbar spine of a person with spinal compression.

In the image on the left we can see the way a person's vertebrae show up in x-rays when they are compressed. In the image on the right, on the other hand, we see how the vertebrae should look properly spaced.

Pressure point analysis

This procedure measures how the body's weight is distributed over the resting surface. During the analysis, an individual lies on the product, and using advanced technology, the areas where the body exerts the most pressure are detected. This makes it possible to identify areas at risk of stress or discomfort, such as the shoulders, hips, or lower back.

Spinal alignment

Through state-of-the-art instruments, we strive to monitor the proper alignment of the cervical spine in every resting position. The goal is to ensure that no conditions occur that could lead to muscular or skeletal decompensation.

Spinal decompression

This advanced high-precision test aims to monitor the spine before and after the use of our products. By comparing the results against other products, our biomedical engineers can accurately assess how effectively the action of the devices relieved compression on the discs and vertebrae.

Muscle relaxation

At this stage, thin electrodes are attached to the skin or inserted into the muscles to record the electrical signals generated during muscle contractions. This test is particularly important because it allows us to detect the actual ability of our products to reduce muscle tension and assess the quality of rest.

Clinical evaluations

1. Regulatory Context and Objectives

Pharmaflex operates in the field of medical devices geared toward orthopedic support, with a particular focus on vertebral decompression, a clinically validated biomechanical principle for the management of spinal disorders. The tests performed, the subject of this extended report, meet national and international standards in the field of ergonomic certification (ErgoCert ST02.01) and are supported by academically recognized scientific literature.

2. ErgoCert Test on Topper and Mattress

2.1 Protocol and Methodology

  • Sample of 10 subjects (BMI between 16 and 28.4).
  • Detections by high-sensitivity barometric mats.
  • Comparison of:
  • Pharmaflex mattress
  • Pharmaflex topper
  • reference firm mattress

2.2 Parameters Analyzed

  • Mean pressure in supine and lateral position
  • Pressure peaks
  • % surface area at risk (pressures > 0.4256 N/cm²)
  • Comfort Index (CI) calculation.

2.3 Results

Product | IC | Mean Pressure (sup.) | Peak Pressure (sup.) | % Area Risk Sup.

Pharmaflex Mattress
8.67 | 0.27 N/cm² | 0.70 N/cm² | 8.37%

Pharmaflex Topper
8.71 | 0.27 N/cm² | 0.85 N/cm² | 10.6%

Rigid Mattress
7.38 | 0.31 N/cm² | 0.99 N/cm² | 19.8%

2.4 Interpretation

The obtained values show that the topper, despite its reduced thickness, is able to replicate the biomechanical effects of the mattress due to the same orthopedic wave design. Both exceed the IC > 7 threshold required by ErgoCert for biomedical certification.

3. ErgoCert test onCervical" and "Reflux" Pillows.

3.1 Protocol

  • 6 subjects, with morphological variation (height, BMI, shoulder and neck length).
  • Detection by 17-sensor MVN Biomech Awinda (Xsens) system.
  • Evaluation of angular deviations between C7 and head vertex.
  • Positions analyzed: supine and lateral.

3.2 Results and Compliance

  • Pillow deflections Cervical between 2° and 19° in almost all subjects.
  • Conformity classification according to ErgoCert:
  • ≤ 14°: compliant
  • 15-19°: partially compliant
  • ≥ 20°: non-compliant

3.3 Conclusion

TheCervical" pillow has been shown to be effective in maintaining proper alignment of the cervical spine, with optimal results in lateral position. The effect is further improved in combination with the orthopedic mattress from the same line.

4. IGR Germany Study: Measuring Vertebral Decompression.

4.1 Experimental Setup

  • Headquarters: IGR Institut für Gesundheit und Ergonomie
  • Technology: Video-Raster-Stereographie (VRS BackMapper)
  • Duration: 25 minutes per system tested
  • Comparison of:
  • Conventional system (standard polyurethane mat.)
  • Pharmaflex Performance system (mattress + Cervical pillow)

4.2 Monitored Parameters

  • Kyphosenwinkel (kyphotic angle)
  • Lordosewinkel (lordotic angle)
  • Beckentorsion (twisting pelvis)
  • Max. Seitenabweichung (lateral deviations)
  • Lumbaler Biegungswinkel (lumbar angle)

4.3 Significant Results

  • Kyphose and lordosis approaching normative values with Pharmaflex (98-104% norm)
  • Lateral deviations and pelvic torsion statistically significantly reduced
  • Better postural recovery after only 25 min of use

4.4 Clinical Impact

The study shows that the Pharmaflex system promotes active postural correction during rest, consistent with the mechanisms of vertebral decompression, by acting passively on thoracolumbar and pelvic segments.

5. Functional Equivalence of Products

Biomechanical tests have shown that there is substantial functional equivalence between the mattresses and the Pharmaflex topper. This result stems from the fact that they both share the same orthopedic wave design, which allows:

  • optimized distribution of loads
  • attenuation of pressure peaks
  • maintaining neutral posture
  • passive support for vertebral decompression

In particular:

  • The topper, despite having a lower thickness than the mattress, showed almost identical Comfort Index (CI) values and mean pressures, ensuring the same ergonomic and biomechanical effectiveness.
  • The mattresses exhibit stable performance, regardless of the variant tested, as they are based on the same wave architecture.

Regarding cervical pillows, biomechanical testing certified by ErgoCert showed that theCervical" pillow:

  • Maintains the physiological alignment of the cervical spine
  • Reduces abnormal head angulation in supine and lateral positions

In addition, the cushion was tested in combination with the mattress during the IGR study, contributing to the positive results in vertebral decompression measured by VRS. This consolidates its role as a synergistic component of the Pharmaflex orthopedic system, validating its effectiveness in the treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunctions related to the spine.

6. Vertebral Decompression: Therapeutic Principle Applied

The principle of vertebral decompression is a noninvasive therapeutic approach aimed at reducing intradiscal pressure and promoting retraction of protrusions and herniated discs. It has been shown in the clinical literature that proper postural support can simulate, in a static or semi-passive position, the decompressive effect.

Relevant Studies:

  • Gose EE, Naguszewski WK. "Vertebral axial decompression therapy for pain associated with herniated or degenerated discs or facet syndrome." Neurological Research, 1998.
  • Ramos G, Martin W. "Effects of vertebral axial decompression on intradiscal pressure." Journal of Neurosurgery, 1994.
  • Apfel CC et al. "Efficacy and Safety of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression: A Systematic Review." Pain Practice, 2010.

Mechanisms Involved:

  • Reduction of lumbar intradiscal pressure
  • Increased foraminal space (greater distance between vertebrae)
  • Paravertebral relaxation
  • Potential stimulation of disc rehydration

Application to Pharmaflex Products:

Pharmaflex mattresses and toppers, with their wave design and optimized pressure distribution, allow:

  • A passive reduction of compression on the column
  • A maintenance of neutral posture during sleep
  • A synergistic effect with the cervical pillow, which contributes to the overall alignment of the spinal axis

These aspects make the products suitable for individuals with:

  • Disc herniations/protrusions
  • Lumbosciatica
  • Cervicalgia with postural component
  • Piriformis syndrome and other radicular compressions

8.2 Evaluation of perceived effectiveness

Aggregate analysis of the more than 3,000 reviews collected over the past 36 months indicates an average rating of 4.7 out of 5, with the following aspects having a particularly positive impact:

  • Reduction in lower back and neck pain reported as early as the first days of use

  • Improvement in subjectively perceived sleep quality

  • Increased comfort in lateral and supine positions

  • Product confidence through transparent reporting of clinical data

8.3 Use of data

Evidence gathered through post-market surveillance is being:

  • integrated into the internal quality management system (QMS)

  • Used for continuous product improvement

  • submitted during the renewal of compliance certifications

Conclusion: The data collected confirm that Pharmaflex products not only meet the clinical standards expected in testing, but also maintain high performance in daily practice, benefiting users with musculoskeletal disorders.

9. Clinical Discussion and Final Conclusions

Joint analysis of biomechanical testing and clinical evidence shows that Pharmaflex orthopedic devices possess characteristics suitable not only for improving comfort but also for managing pathological conditions of the spine. The proven effectiveness in reducing local pressures, the ability to maintain a neutral postural stance, and the instrumentally measurable decompressive effect make these systems suitable for:

  • Prevention of pressure sores in at-risk individuals
  • Support in conservative treatment of hernias, protrusions and lumbosciatica
  • Postural support during physiotherapy recovery
  • Home use in patients with chronic musculoskeletal conditions

Pharmaflex is thus configured as a medical brand geared toward functional prevention and noninvasive treatment of spinal dysfunction through scientifically and clinically validated solutions.
