Cervical spine
Thoracic spine
Lumbar spine
The cervical spine is the uppermost and most mobile part of the spinal column. The head with its main sensory organs of eyes and ears has to be as mobile as possible to ensure perfect spatial orientation.

The NOVAFON device can be used for the regulation of muscle tone and the treatment of the sore areas of the back muscles. NOVAFON treatment takes a total of 10–15 minutes per section and can be repeated up to twice daily. Before you start, plug your NOVAFON into the socket and take a comfortable seat on a chair. If your mobility is impaired, seek assistance from a second person. In this treatment, make sure that you do not work on the spinous processes of the spinal column, but to the left or right of them. Carry out the treatment on the affected side, or both sides if required. Make sure to follow the steps outlined here precisely.
1 – PLANAR STROKING/SMOOTHING OF THE NECK AND SHOULDER MUSCLES
Select the plate attachment to treat the cervical spine. First, find the bone behind your ear and switch the device to level II. Imagine a line starting at this bone, down over the neck to the shoulder, and move over this area with the NOVAFON in long strokes. Repeat each stroke three to four times.
2 – TREATMENT OF THE UPPER BACK AND THE SHOULDER BLADES
Above the shoulder blades, move the device from the spine towards the shoulder, using the plate attachment. Then use linear strokes to treat the area between the shoulder blade and the spine several times, from top to bottom, and circle around the shoulder blade down to the armpit. Continue for 2–3 minutes.
3 – TREATMENT OF SORE AREAS
Then select the ball attachment and treat the individual pain spots for 30–60 seconds at level I. You can focus on the pain point, or treat it using gentle circular motions. Repeat this treatment up to twice a day and on both sides, if required.
The thoracic spine has joint connections to the ribs. For that reason, most pain in this region is related to movement and/or breathing. Pain in the thoracic spine is often dull or pressing pain that can be experienced as belt-like pain radiating into the ribcage. In the treatment of the thoracic spine, it is important also to involve the shoulder region.

Carry out the treatment on the affected side, or both sides if required. Make sure to follow the steps outlined here precisely.
1 – TREATMENT OF THE UPPER BACK AND THE SHOULDER BLADES
To treat the thoracic spine, start with the plate attachment at level II. Move the device above the shoulder blades in large strokes from the spine towards the shoulder. Then use linear strokes to treat the area between the shoulder blade and the spine several times, from top to bottom, and circle around the shoulder blade down to the armpit. Continue for 2–3 minutes.
2 – TREATMENT OF THORACIC SPINE
Now, pass the device up and down to the left and right of the spinal column in long, linear strokes. The entire area between the spine and the shoulder blades should be treated for 2–3 minutes. Then, move the device diagonally along the ribs, from the spine towards the flanks. Breathing deeply in and out enhances the positive effect of this exercise.
3 – TREATMENT OF SORE AREAS
Then select the ball attachment and treat the individual pain spots for 30–60 seconds at level I. You can focus on the pain point, or treat it using gentle circular motions. Repeat this treatment up to twice a day and on both sides, if required.
The lumbar spine is the section of the spinal column most often affected by pain. The lumbar spine carries the entire weight of the trunk. The intervertebral discs that serve as cushions and suspension, lose part of their fluid content over the course of a day and shrink. This fluid is replenished overnight. However, this replenishment lessens with increasing age. The result is a loss in muscle tone, the formation of a hollow back and increased pressure.

1 – TREATMENT OF THE LUMBAR SPINE
You should ideally lie on your side to treat the lumbar spine. Select the plate attachment, switch the device to level II and move the device over the area between the ribs and the pelvis, to the right and left of the spine, in both directions for 2–3 minutes.
2 – TREATMENT OF THE PELVIS
Next, turn to the pelvis or gluteal muscles. Treat the whole area up to the gluteal fold for 2–3 minutes.
3 – TREATMENT OF SORE AREAS
Then switch to the ball attachment on level I, and treat the sore areas for 30–60 seconds each. You can focus on the pain point, or treat it using gentle circular motions. Repeat this treatment up to twice a day.
