Pain Management
For anyone out there dealing with debilitating pain in the area of lower back, hip or knee there is a revolutionary new device on the market, "The JBIT Medpro". The JBIT Medpro was designed with you in mind by relieving joint pressure and increasing mobility. The strength you have in your knees plays a part in how good your balance is. When your knees and ankles are weak you are less able to support the weight of your body in a stable position. The JBIT MedPro strengthens the core and upper and lower extremity muscles, aiding in the relief of shoulder, back, hip and knee pain. Its unique design serves a dual purpose by relieving joint pressure while posing as an external set of hamstrings, as well as providing constant resistance to deliver a powerful workout. Completely portable, the JBIT MedPro adapts to the body’s natural motion, making it ideal for everyday wear. And with an adjustable fit, multiple levels of resistance and padded back support, it’s as comfortable as it is functional. For more information go to

What causes knee pain? 27 possible conditions
What Is Knee Pain?
Knee pain is a frequent ailment that can be experienced by older adults, young adults, and children. This type of body pain may take place immediately after an injury, or it may appear as an extension of a chronic medical condition. The amount of discomfort people feel may depend on the cause of the pain, area of the knee affected, or their physical condition prior to the pain.
When knee pain occurs in the elderly, it may be a symptom or side effect of another health issue that may directly or indirectly involve the joints and bones. However, this is not always the case. In some older people, the pain can be caused by weakened bone structure that occurs during the aging process.
What Causes Knee Pain?
A number of issues that affect the proper functioning of one or both knees may cause pain. Injury is the most common cause, but other conditions such as arthritis may lead to joint deterioration and discomfort.
Sprains or Strains In the Ligament and Muscle Tissue
These types of injuries often occur when the knee receives blunt trauma or is twisted in the wrong direction. Sprains and strains most often arise during contact sports but may occur during any abrupt or sudden movement.
Damaged Menisci
Menisci are thin layers of cartilage located between the tibia and femur. Resembling a crescent or disc, this connective tissue absorbs most of the stress placed on the lower extremities, but may tear if too much stress is placed on the knees. Menisci also stabilize the knees by preventing abnormal movements that may lead to injury. Tearing of the menisci may interfere with their proper functioning.
Tendinitis
Tendinitis is an inflammation that produces redness, tenderness to the touch, and intense pain in the tendons of the knees or any area of the body that have tendons. Activities that require repetitive movements may increase the risk of tendinitis. Other factors for inflamed tendons are poor preparation for exercise and medical conditions such as arthritis.
Osteoarthritis (OA)
OA is a common form of arthritis that may appear in one or more joint bones in the body. It may affect men, women, and children. Women over the age of 55 are at the highest risk for OA. The condition induces pain from the loss of cartilage, which causes the bones to rub together and produce intense discomfort. It may also form from joint malformations present at birth, injuries caused in active sports, or work conditions that require repetitive movements.
Pseudogout
Pseudogout, a common type of arthritis in the knees, develops when calcium pyrophosphate crystals (a type of salt) form in the knees’ fluids. Often confused with gout (another condition formed from fluid crystals), pseudogout may be misdiagnosed in some people. It produces painful episodes of swelling and inflammation in the knees as well as other joints.
Bursitis
Inflamed bursae may cause knee pain in some people. Bursae are small pockets of fluid that lubricate the tendons of the hips, shoulders, and knees in order for them to move freely along joints.
Chondromalacia of the Patella
Chondromalacia is a general term used to describe the breakdown or softening of the cartilage found in the body. Chondromalacia of the patella affects only the kneecaps. Damaged kneecaps may become misplaced from constant or persistent use. It often affects females more than males, but may cause bouts of pain for anyone who is very active in life.
High Body Weight
People who are overweight may experience knee pain as they walk or stand. When body weight exceeds normal limits, it may place stress on the joints. The stress may increase the loss of joint tissue as the ends of the tibia and femur rub together and produce friction.
Who Is at Risk For Knee Pain?
Older adults with bone or joint conditions may experience pain in the knees. Women who are over 65 years old may be at a higher risk than those who are younger. Young adults and teenagers may also experience knee pain if they participate in sports or activities that require jumping, running, or similar types of active movements that produce stressful situations on the body.
Children in their teens or preteens may experience pain from active play. The pain is more frequent in children who jump, run, or participate in activities that require repetitive movements.
What Are the Symptoms of Knee Pain?
The symptoms of knee pain may be mild to severe depending on the complexity of the condition or injury.
Common signs and symptoms:
- stiffness or the inability to bend or straighten the knee(s)
- skin feels warm to the touch
- an audible popping, clicking or some other abnormal sound when moving the knee(s)
Serious signs and symptoms:
- pain accompanied with noticeable swelling, redness, and fever
- inability to stand
- limping
- falling down while attempting to stand
- feeling numbness in the affected leg (knee)
- visible signs of injury, such as an abnormal appearance or malformation
How Is Knee Pain Diagnosed?
Physicians may order specific testing or diagnostic methods to locate the cause of pain.
These include:
- X-rays of the knees to find possible injuries, conditions, and malformations. This type of diagnostic testing uses electromagnetic radiation to see into the body and produce images.
- Computerized tomography scanning (CT) takes images of the inside of the body at different positions and angles. CT scans may assist with diagnosing problems within joints, bones, and tissues.
- Ultrasound technology produce images in real-time with the use of high-tech sound waves. This is a technique used for diagnostic purposes.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) creates 3-D images of the body. MRI takes a look inside the knee and allows doctors to examine its anatomy.
- Testing of the joint fluid and any blood found in the knee joints may be used in some cases. A procedure called arthrocentesis is used to examine the fluid taken from the joint capsules, bursae, or synovial membranes.
How Is Knee Pain Treated?
Knee pain treatment includes medications for relieving pain or treating conditions already present. Physical therapy may be ordered for sports-related injuries. Therapy retrains the body to function normally after an injury.

Ex-NBA Pro's Ortho Med Device Invention a Marketplace Slam Dunk
Demand Surges for Orthopedic Joint Pain Relieving Device Invented by Former NBA Pro Turned Entrepreneur
Rapid sales, market share and corporate growth reported for ‘JBIT MedPro’—a medical device company led by former pro-athlete turned successful CEO, Jonathan Bender; Ex-NBA player’s clinically-proven invention provides relief of chronic shoulder, back, hip, knee, joint and sciatica pain when used alone or as complement to formal medical rehabilitation, physical therapy, and fitness regimens
JB3 Innovations, a product development company focused on medical rehabilitation, physical therapy, and fitness training solutions that’s spearheaded by former NBA pro turned inventor and entrepreneur Jonathan Bender, today announced the company is realizing extraordinary demand and sales growth for its therapeutic JBIT MedPro device designed to aid in the relief of chronic shoulder, back, hip, knee, joint and sciatica pain. Having launched in December 2013 as an enhanced version of the company’s flagship JB Intensive 
Trainer device, which continues to be merchandised nationally in brick-and-mortar “Relax the Back" retail stores among other outlets, the addition of the upgraded JBIT MedPro device has catapulted the company over the past six months, having realized exponential 60% growth, month over month, and established a direct sales pipeline-based forecast of 40% growth through the end of the June.

In another notable new development, the JBIT MedPro also now includes an optional home therapy service, providing even more options for consumers. The company’s newly launched Boost Therapy program avails affordable on-line therapy sessions on the www.JBITMedpro.com Web site for people to follow while using their equipment either at home or while traveling. The company is currently releasing three unique physical therapy videos per week that all focus on reducing osteoarthritis, lower back, hip and shoulder pain caused by injury or overexertion. The entire Boost Therapy program video series features advice and instruction by a licensed doctor of physical therapy.
“The early success of the JBIT MedPro is due to its versatility—it’s for anyone seeking relief from joint pain as well as those desiring to increase their physical fitness,” says JB3 Innovations CEO and product inventor Jonathan Bender, who conceived the product due to knee pain he experienced as a professional athlete playing for both the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks NBA teams. “Far beyond its clear value current and former athletes for whom joint pain is nearly universal, this device is for anyone at all who suffers from chronic orthopedic issues, including seniors, those with nagging injuries, everyday fitness enthusiasts and even those in the workplace where sitting at a desk or more physical demands cause persistent pain. Then, beyond the pain relief aspect, the device is also an innovative and effective way to integrate fitness into daily life and garner the benefits of rehabilitation therapy from anywhere. It’s a perfect complement to a weight loss plan.”
The success of the JBIT MedPro is no surprise given its roots. So debilitating was the pain in Jonathan Bender’s knees that, after 7 years playing in the NBA, he took a 4-year retirement. Not one to sit idle or suffer helplessly, during this time Bender worked with scientists and engineers to painstakingly develop a first-of-its-kind rehabilitative product to address joint pain and physical limitation problems that, even today, cannot be rectified with any other physical therapy device on the market. While using his own product prototype—now coined the “JBIT MedPro”—Bender became fit enough to re-enter the NBA, where he played for another year with the New York Knicks. Amazingly, when the team doctors did strengthening tests on Bender, they discovered he had the strongest lower extremities on the team! But, this time around things had changed. Bender had the entrepreneurial bug and the game just didn’t mean as much to him as it used to. So, at the ripe age of 29 and to the surprise of many, Bender again retired and the former NBA hopeful—the “boy wonder” who had shocked everyone by making the top-5 of the ’99 Draft— channeled all of his energy and stunning work ethic into further developing, refining and marketing his medical device that is now making extraordinary industry strides and helping individuals throughout the U.S. effectively and easily alleviate joint pain.
Test results are proof positive. During biomechanical analysis performed at Purdue University, the JBIT MedPro design performed extraordinarily well. “It actually takes pressure off the knees by evening out the load and making the legs work the way they’re supposed to work,” noted Eric Nauman, Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University.
How the JBIT MedPro Works
The rapid marketplace acceptance of the JBIT MedPro is spurred by its unique design, which serves a dual purpose of relieving pressure from the joints by delivering a zero gravity field that is just like being in water or in outer space. It acts as an “external hamstring” while also delivering constant resistance to strengthen the core and lower extremity muscles.
The innovative device adapts to a person’s natural movements for daily wear to relieve chronic joint pain and/or to reach fitness training goals. Completely portable, it adjusts to the body’s natural motion, making it ideal for everyday wear. And, given its adjustable fit, multiple levels of resistance and padded back support that includes a convenient hot/cold gel pack, the JBIT MedPro is as comfortable as it is functional.
The JBIT MedPro addresses a multitude of specific needs, including:

The JBIT MedPro addresses a multitude of specific needs, including:
- Back pain/Sciatica - Placing external resistance against the waist belt, the JBIT MedPro triggers core musculature to activate. The JBIT MedPro also provides proprioceptive feedback, helping users find their ideal pelvic position. These dual actions can result in the removal of pressure from the spine, as well as the leg pain associated with sciatica.
- Knee pain - Exercising with the JBIT MedPro provides both eccentric and concentric contractions.These contractions, in turn, recruit the quadricep muscles, helping to protect the knee.
- Hip pain - Placing resistance on the lower extremities, the JBIT MedPro requires the muscles surrounding the pelvis to contract, helping to strengthen and support the hips.
- Weight loss - The JBIT MedPro generates added resistance with every step while walking or jogging, resulting in a higher caloric burn and allowing for the possibility of faster results.
- Shoulder pain – Using the JBIT MedPro’s upper component will help recruit, engage and, in turn, strengthen shoulder muscles. As a result, the device helps relieve shoulder joint pain and decreases the likelihood of developing rotator cuff issues.

Jonathan Bender's Career Surging Again Through Joint Rehab Device
David Lariviere Contributor
I have been covering sports and business intensely for 30 years.
When Jonathan Bender was forced to abruptly leave the NBA in 2007 after seven years because of chronic knee pain, it appeared his career was over. But in actuality it turned out it was just the beginning of a new career that is blossoming today.
Working with scientists, Bender began developing a support device worn on the lower back designed to relieve not only chronic knee pain but shoulder, back, hip, joint and sciatica discomfort as well. Launched in December, the upgraded and rebranded JBIT MedPro device has catapulted Houston-based JB3 Innovations as it has realized exponential 60 percent growth, month over month, and established a direct sales pipeline-based forecast of 40 percent growth through the end of June.
Priced at $199.99, it’s sold in Relax The Back retail outlets but mostly through direct sales with about 3,000 users at this point according to Bender. “We’re a unique product. Anything else that might be considered our competition is way above our price point,” the former Indiana Pacer and New York Knick explained.
“Our goal is about half a million (dollars in revenue) through year one and we’ve already blasted through that and to sell 10 million units in five years,” Bender said.
In a press release the company said its rapid marketplace acceptance “is spurred by its unique design, which serves a dual purpose of relieving pressure from the joints by delivering a zero gravity field that is just like being in water or in outer space. It acts as an ‘external hamstring’ while also delivering constant resistance to strengthen the core and lower extremity muscles.”
It worked so well for Bender that, after four years out of the NBA, he was able to return to the Knicks for a year. Still in the prime of his career at 29, Bender walked away for good to pursue his business dreams. “In the beginning I just wanted to help myself but then I saw it as an opportunity to help as many people as I could and as a business opportunity,” said the one-time fifth overall pick out of high school in the 1999 draft.
He’s not surprised by the company’s success. “My vision was always way ahead of the curve.”
It’s especially satisfying for him that the company is his own creation. “I didn’t want to buy a franchise like some guys do because that’s somebody else’s business. I wanted to create something from nothing,” he said.
Asked why some athletes are successful after leaving the game while others struggle, Bender, now 33, said, “You have to take the same mental approach that made you a great athlete. Some guys are just a little deeper than others.”
