Spolban

Spolban is an adhesive press needle patch designed for targeted back and neck pain relief. It is manufactured by Yutoku Yakuhin Kogyo Co., Ltd., a Japanese pharmaceutical company founded in 1952. The product uses three micro-components, including a non-invasive press needle and iron oxide granules, to deliver continuous, drug-free relief on the skin.

The patch features an ultra-fine 1.1mm intradermal needle that activates the body's natural pain response. Additionally, iron oxide granules apply gentle, continuous pressure to targeted acupuncture points. This combination mimics the therapeutic effect of a professional acupuncture session without using drugs.

Users should replace the patch every 2 to 3 days. Each time a new patch is applied, the placement should be shifted slightly to avoid skin irritation. The product is single-use and should never be reused once removed.

The patch should not be used by individuals who are pregnant, have a known metal allergy to nickel or chromium, or have an implanted electronic device such as a pacemaker. If redness, swelling, or itching occurs, use should stop immediately and a doctor should be consulted.

Orders are shipped from either Canada or Japan, usually within 24–48 hours of placement. Packages are sent via air letter mail without a tracking number, and delivery typically takes 7–10 business days depending on customs clearance.

The company offers a 100% refund with no questions asked on the first pack of Spolban. While the product cost is refunded, the shipping cost cannot be refunded. Customers must contact the support team to initiate the process.

The website advertises a 'Buy 4, get 1 free' promotion along with free shipping on orders over $30. These offers are highlighted on the home page and contact sections to encourage purchases.

Yutoku Pharmaceutical Industry Co., Ltd. was founded in October 1952 in Kashima, Saga Prefecture. The company has spent over seventy years developing external patches and topical preparations, launching the original Spolban press-needle patch in 1984.

As of August 2026, the product holds a 4.3/5 rating from over 1,300 reviews on Amazon Japan. Some reviewers report significant relief for shoulder stiffness and headaches, noting that the patch worked effectively within a day of application.

The patch is designed to be worn all day and is held in place by a soft cloth band tape. It is described as discreet and comfortable enough for continuous use throughout daily activities.

The product targets back and neck pain, as well as sports injuries, chronic knee pain, office tension, muscle stress, and post-workout soreness. It is marketed for instant relief wherever these issues occur.

The website states that Spolban works by enhancing the body's natural resistance and self-healing ability rather than masking pain with chemicals. It aims to provide fast, non-invasive, drug-free relief that keeps up with an active routine.

AcuReco is identified as the overseas distributor of Spolban. The international name 'SPOLBAN' was adopted to bring the brand to a worldwide audience, while the product is manufactured by Yutoku Yakuhin Kogyo Co., Ltd.

Masataka Yamaguchi, the President & Representative Director, has stated the mission is to contribute to people's health and happiness through compassion and reliable technology. The vision is to become the most trusted specialist manufacturer of topical preparations.
