Affordable Atwood KS Back Stretcher Helps Eliminate Low Back Pain

By Katy Parfait


A human spine is very complex. It provides flexibility to the body while also protecting the spinal cord from injury. Hundreds of nerves enter and exit the spine to transmit messages between the brain and the rest of the body. Injuries to the discs cause them to be compressed and pinch the nerves, resulting in pain. Use of an Atwood KS back stretcher is a noninvasive method of providing relief.

The spinal column is in a state of continual stress. Much of this is actually good. Movement compresses and relaxes discs, forcing nutrients into the structure and eliminating wastes. The fluid brings hydration that keeps discs flexible. However, repetitive motion often causes injury. Additionally, when a person remains seated for extended periods, the discs may not have enough motion to keep them hydrated.

Dehydrated discs are more likely to be injured. Their outer layer sometimes splits to cause a herniated disc. The outer layer allows the inner layer to leak to the outside. It can press on nerves and result in pain.

Stretching the spine gently helps to ensure discs retain their normal shape. The stretch draws fluids and nutrients into the disc needed for health. Hydrated discs provide the support the body needs and are less likely to suffer herniation.

This stretching device attaches to the user's feet and fits under the armpits. To stretch, the users pulls the handles. Users remain in control of the therapy provided with the discs and are able to stop the pull at any time. Padded contact points ensure greatest comfort for users.

Many individuals who experience lumbar pain find help with the Atwood KS back stretcher. The non-invasive stretching of the spinal column allows the vertebrae to heal naturally. As discs return to their normal shape, pain is eliminated. Individuals experience a more normal type of lifestyle.
