Healthcare Practitioners

Tempur-Pedic® products are clinically proven to enhance quality of life for patients with lower back pain and are recommended by more than 25,000 healthcare professionals worldwide.

A recently completed hospital-based clinical study investigating lower back pain, quality of sleep, and the impact a mattress might have on daytime symptoms confirmed the intermediate findings researchers affiliated with the Yale University School of Medicine presented last year to the Connecticut Chapter of the American College of Physicians Annual Scientific Meeting (2005). After the individuals began sleeping on Tempur-Pedic mattress and foundation, the data began trending towards an increased number of hours slept per night, reduction in lower back pain, reduction in "sleepiness", and significant improvement in both mental and physical health components.

In addition to addressing back pain, Tempur-Pedic products are often used by those with arthritis. In fact, the Arthritis Foundation has given its Ease-of-Use Commendation to a number of Tempur-Pedic products.

Tempur-Pedic products, with their ability to conform and support a person so completely, have proven a great benefit to other pain suffers, including those diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Alzheimer’s disease. When someone presents with Fibromyalgia, the Tempur-Pedic mattresses make an excellent adjunctive treatment to help them deal with the pain of Fibromyalgia. Likewise, when families are struggling to care for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease, Tempur-Pedic mattresses can help.

These are some of the reasons so many chiropractors and other healthcare professionals recommend Tempur-Pedic products. A mattress can play a key role in treating many types of back pain. The percentages of chiropractors who include a mattress as a treatment option for sciatica, herniated discs, neck pain and lower back pain are as follows:

Misalignment 26%
Muscle Spasm 32%
Degenerative Disc Disease 37%
Sciatica 37%
Herniated Disc 21%
Facet Syndrome (a common type of Lower Back Pain) 21%
