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

By Katy Parfait


If you experience pain in your lumbar region, an Atwood KS back stretcher may provide the relief you need. Pain in this area often results from compressed discs. The compressed disc allows other structures to press on the nerves. Using this device gently stretches discs to a normal shape and encourages healing.

Often lumbar pain affects more than just the immediate region. The pressure on the nerve may affect the area it serves. For example, pressure on the sciatic nerve may affect the hip, leg or foot as well. The best way to relieve the pain is to relieve the underlying pressure on the nerve.

While individuals often turn to over-the-counter medication for the pain, the pills are ineffective in bringing relief in the long term. Often, patients find that even controlled medications do not bring relief but hide the symptoms. However, many have found relief with by stretching the joints in a easy and effective method.

When suffering new injuries to the lumbar region, an ice pack offers almost immediate relief of the pain. Never place the ice pack on bare skin. Do not leave the ice in place for more than 10-15 minutes. Repeat icing after about 15 minutes rest. Continue the process for about an hour, several times through the day.

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.

An Atwood KS back stretcher helps to relieve pressure from nerves so real healing takes place. Once discs return to normal shape, pressure is reduced from nerves. Full healing of an injured nerve can take up to two weeks.
