Compared curapod vs my physio visits for about 3 months
With physio - Physio visits: 3x per month at ₹800 per session = ₹2,400/month - Pain medication (ibuprofen + muscle relaxants): ~₹400/month - Occasional pain relief sprays/patches: ~₹300/month - Monthly total: ~₹3,100
I’d been doing this for almost a year. That’s roughly ₹37,000 over 12 months. And the pain was managed, not resolved.
With this device (around ₹8K one-time) - Physio reduced to 1x per month for check-ins: ₹800/month - Medication dropped significantly: ~₹200/month - Sprays/patches: nearly eliminated - Monthly total: ~₹1000
Month 1 cost including device: ~₹9,300 (higher). Month 2 onward: significant savings. By 3rd month the device had effectively paid for itself.
I want to be clear, the physio still added value, especially for the exercises and posture work. But for daily pain management between sessions, this device took that role effectively.
I have moderate chronic lower back pain, not something surgical. But for people in that middle zone, not severe enough for major intervention, the value just make sense but again it's totally your call.
