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 cause pain in regions other than that of the injury. Pressure on one's major nerves leads to pain radiating to other body parts. For example, pressure on the sciatic leads to pain affecting the region of injury, hip, leg and foot. The key to pain relief is to remove the pressure from the nerve so healing occurs.

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 you have just begun to suffer lumbar pain, use an ice pack to reduce swelling and pain. The cold numbs the pain and slows blood flow to the area to reduce inflammation, which often makes the pain more intense. Follow proper procedures for use of ice to prevent further injuries, including frostbite by keeping the pack in place no longer than 15 minutes.

After 48 hours, heat may become more effective. The best choice is moist heat, as provided by a hot shower or bath. However, in some cases a heating pad is more available. Limit heat use to 15 minute intervals. Heat helps to restore blood flow to inflamed areas.

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.
