Sufferers Benefit From Natural Back Pain Relief Tips Offered By Atwood KS Back Stretcher

By Katy Parfait


Many people suffer pain in the lower lumbar region. Of these, some have benefited from the Atwood KS back stretcher. The pain in the region is often due to a compressed disc. Compression allows other tissues to press on nerves, leading to pain. By using this device, the individual gently stretches his own spine, removing pressure and encouraging healing.

Lumbar pain often affects more than just the region of the injury. Pressure on a nerve often radiates to other parts of the body. If you experience pressure on your sciatic, you may feel pain in the foot, leg or hip. Remove the pressure from the nerve and pain goes away.

Individuals suffering this type of pain often find over-the-counter medications ineffective at bringing long term relief. Even stronger pain medication provided by a doctor only prevents the symptoms of a deeper problem. However many people find the use of the device offers long lasting results over time.

If your lumbar pain is new, try using an ice pack. The cold numbs the pain in a noninvasive manner. Do not place ice packs on bare skin or leave them in place for over 15 minutes. Allow the area to rest at least 10 minutes before repeating the ice therapy. Continue for about an hour several times during the day.

After 2-3 days, heat becomes more effective at encouraging healing and reducing pain. Moist heat is the better choice, and can be found as a hot shower or bath. If the bath or shower is not practical use a heating pad.

Use the Atwood KS back stretcher to relieve pressure and allow healing to occur naturally. Once the disc returns to a normal shape and the nerve is no longer being pinched, it can take up to two weeks to heal. Keep your spine healthy with regular use.
