Knee, hip, and lower back pain can have a huge impact on your quality of life, but Apos® offers a personalized, non-invasive treatment option.
This article provides an overview of Apos®, its potential benefits, and the science behind it.
What is Apos®?
Apos® is a noninvasive, technology-driven treatment option custom-designed for people with knee, hip, or lower back pain. It’s not a drug, and it doesn’t involve surgery or injections.
Apos® is personalized for each person, taking into account their individual anatomy, how their body moves, and their medical history. It’s designed to be easy to use — almost like wearing glasses — so you can get relief while going about your daily life.
The Apos® device uses precisely placed pods on the soles of your feet to gently and gradually shift pressure points. This subtle change can lead to lasting pain relief and improved mobility.
