Does this help to straighten the back? (hunch back/scoliosis)

Yes, it definitely helps to relieve body aches. Can't beat the price either as same one costs you 3 times as much if you are getting it from the sporting goods store.

I have used the foam roller for that purpose and it does give a bit of relief. It helps stretch out the tight lower lumbar muscles. It does help

Properly used and with good instruction you can strengthen your core which will retrain your thorax and encourage less scoli. The scoli improvement will depend on whether it's function related or not. Find a good Pilates instructor to get you on the best path.

It should be positioned so your pelvis is tilted slightly forward, unless you have a herniated disc. In which case, the chair won't help with your back problems, and might even aggravate them. With the forward pelvic tilt, your spine should feel both straight and relaxed.

Yes. I've never had a back injury, disease, or condition. However, I inherited my dad's bad back. I have a few vertebrae that like to slip out of place, and leave me in severe pain. Chiropractic was a life-saver for decades, with the only alternative being pain medication and waiting for my spine to find a stabile alignment. For me, the Spine-Worx has replaced most of my chiropractic visits, and has the advantage of being usable at any hour on any day. Instead of the chiropractor using quick motions to move my back into alignment, the Spine-Worx uses time and body weight. When I lay on it, either a vertebrae will be sticking down further than the rest, or one will be raised to where it doesn't touch the Spine-Worx board. In either case, I lay there for a few minutes, distract myself with something until my muscles release, and let my body weight push all of my vertebrae down against the Spine-Worx board. The end result is similar to a chiropractic visit for me, except that I don't get my neck cracked, and I'm not paying the price of the Spine-Worx for each treatment. Also, my back seems to stay in proper alignment longer after using the Spine-Worx than it does after a single chiropractic adjustment. I've owned my Spine-Worx board for about 3 years now, and REALLY wish I had purchased one earlier. For what it does, I would have gladly paid 10 times the current $33.99 price to get a prototype or early production model.

Hi Michael Honestly, I didn't find this worked for me. It was not the first posture guide I have ever used, and hoped it would help, as it is different from others I had tried. I still found myself hunched over. It didn't take very long for me to get used to the feeling of the tugging and was not a problem for me. I got used to ite

I have used mine for years . and use as needed. I also use my inversion table , . they due stretch your back, but not the same way . so it may help, but it may not! That depends on what your goal is . Good Luck !

Yes, but if done regularly might cause the spine to weaken. I don't use it that way, but it definitely folds back. I love the quality of the item! And I love the color.

I really do believe that this helps with correcting forward head posture. I had xrays done about 3 months apart from the time I started using this product and chiropractic care along with some physical therapy to strengthen muscles back in the neck area. My neck went from a forward curve to visibly straight on the xrays and I am willing to bet it will keep on going with more use. If you use this and work on maintaining correct posture while sitting, I think that it definitely helps. But make sure to try to work on it everyday

Being in the medical field I can tell you it would be wise to be evaluated by a professional.. Some back conditions require physical therapy/ losing weight/ surgery.. But for the rest of us a lumbar roll is a fine tool to correct our posture.

I would have to say yes. I bought mine for my lower back and sometimes I have nerve problems in my knees and buttock area so I invert for a few minuets and the pain goes away. I would think that this would help you as well.

I have pelvic rotation and my occupational therapist had me use it during therapy one day to re-align my pelvis. I could not believe how well it work so I ordered my own to use at home. I use it every day and it really helps! Be sure to read and follow instructions on placement because that part is tricky but I think it may really help low back pain from mis-aligned pelvis as that is what is was created for.

It might and yes it can, but it won't solve your upper back issue. I'd recommend seeing a reputable chiropractor to help you acquire the best course of action to properly correct your spine which us out of alighment causing a hunched spine.

Sorry, in my opinion, this product is not designed for straightening. I use it for a more moisterizing shampoo and conditioner. It is an excellent product if you want your hair to feel and look silkier.

No I actually received this once as a gift from my son and try to use it. It specifically states it is not to be used for people with scoliosis.

It seems to help what ever places it touches. I have a bad back, but it does not act like most bad backs. I bought it for my shoulder, but my back doesn't bother me when I have it on. Can't say what it will do for someone else.

Yes it will help. Another thing that will help is a memory foam topper for your bed if you do not already have one. Any movement, no matter how gentle, will help too. Stand in place and do your version of the hula, forexample. Warm baths (15 minutes each) with a cup of epsom salts and 1/2 of baking soda mixed in will also help. Anything that stimulates the blood flow to you lower back is a big help. I have a machine, called "Back To Life" that I use and it's amazing how good my back feels after using it. Hope I've helped.

Yes it does help with sagging neck but you have to use it every day. You can expect results in 12 weeks so you have to be devoted to it. My husband's skin responded quicker than mine. Everyone is different but it does work.

Don't know for sure, but so many things that are 'out of alignment' are often due to posture. This gizmo definitely helps posture. I would check with M.D. in case it's something more......if female, osteoporosis (for example).
