There are many things that can go wrong with the #spine but, in essence, up to 98% of all back pain is either caused by, or directly linked to, compression, the term used to describe the spine when it becomes squashed or shortened from its natural length. If we can decompress the spine (something which the backrack™ does) we can treat the causes, and hence the symptoms, of back pain.
SO, HOW DOES IT WORK?
Patients are instructed to lie on the rack, in a central position, with their knees bent (as shown):
As can be seen from the photo below, the Spinal Backrack mirrors the natural curvature of the spine.
As a result, the back is fully supported: it rests in a neutral position.The wooden nodules push up, on either side of the spine. In turn, this lifts the individual vertebrae (as shown), causing them to pivot about the joints in the back.
As a result of this, the joints are decompressed, and the spine lengthens. Joint mobility (and soft-tissue elasticity) increases.
Stiffness And Back Pain Are Therefore Reduced
In addition to this, the pressure on the joints and the intervertebral discs is lowered. This lowers the risk of spinal Osteoarthritis and Bulging or Herniated discs.
Finally, the pressure on the spinal nerves is reduced: this will treat symptoms such as acute local pain, Sciatica and Pins and Needles.
