PRLog (Press Release) –
Apr 24, 2008 – Tampa, FL, — Back2Sleep, LLC, is pleased to announce the release of its breakthrough sleep orthopedic pillow called, “Atlas-T Pillow.” While laying on one’s back, the Atlast-T is designed to maintain 16 degrees between the cervico-cranial (Atlas) junction, which widens airway openings to alleviate snoring. This is accomplished through a Patent Pending Atlanto-Axial Support “AXS” that supports the top two vertebrae of the spine. Findings have shown that 16 degrees is the most effective angle to support the neck in relation to the spine for maximizing airway patency which is supported by chiropractic and medical research, as well as CT scans performed and read by an independent radiologist. Additionally, cat scans showed a 100% success rate in a re-curve of the cervical lordosis, which should greatly benefit those who suffer from headaches, numbness in extremities, and other ailments due to improper alignment of one’s spine. The Atlas-T Pillow, is designed to allow its users the flexibility to sleep on their back or side.
This month, Back2Sleep gained the approval of the FDA, and is now registered as an FDA Class I Medical Device, and was also approved for insurance reimbursement through Medicare.
Dr. Eric Groteke, DC, Co-Inventor of the pillow commented, “We are incredibly pleased with the results derived from the Atlas-T Pillow, and the millions of people we will help, who can’t get a restful night sleep due to snoring, headaches, numbness feeling in extremities and other possible afflictions preventing them to sleep through the night. While we are classified as a Class I medical device by the FDA, this is a product that was designed to help the masses. Unfortunately, most people are unaware of the dangers associated with snoring, which include cardiovascular disease and strokes.”
The Atlas-T Pillow is manufactured in the USA, and is presently being sold through certain Chiropractors, Medical Doctors, back specialty retailers and www.atlastpillow.com.
