Hi Carmen, I'm not a Dr but if you need to stretch and hold your fingers spread out this will help. They work as pictured. My fingers cramp and curl into my palm. After use my hand relaxed and fingers stay straight longer. It's not a instant fix. I am using mine when ever I'm sitting and find myself trying to stretch out my hand.. You know yourself, try this and see if you are feeling better. I did. This helps my pain. You're already interested, I'd say that you have answered your question. Good luck to you.

Yes it will work. Its more of a preventative care product. I haven't needed it for serious back pain. So I can only say that it works to keep me extended and relief from minor pain. Hope this helps

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.

I am a true believer of these and if you are suffering with pain I think its your answer. I work for a hospital and the floors are not nice at all to my feet. I went to doctors, stretching, even the expensive shoes but nothing worked I bought these and in one day I could feel the pain decrease. By the end of the week my pain was gone that I had battled for the last 2 years. Recently I just had to get a new pair of shoes and they were tight fitting with these inserts so I tried for the last week without them and my heel pain is horrible my back and hips hurt so this weekend I wore my boots with my inserts and the pain went away. So long story short if your in pain you have nothing to loose but the pain! I am a true believer of these and if you are suffering with pain I think its your answer.

I know nothing about a magnetic mattress pad at all. . the earthling sheet has a very subtle effect so it would probable be hard to determine the result if you tried it out good luck adw

Ohhhh yes! It makes all the difference in the world. But be careful. Get someone to run their first and second fingers lightly down your spine as you slightly bend forward. They should be able to feel where the spine is out of line with the other vertebrae (you will know too). DON'T PUT IT ON THE VERTEBRA...but off to the side. Be very gentle and only use it once in the same place. Finish the examination with fingers. I truly believe the more conservative you can be with it the better it works. It is a medical tool and can cause much harm if abused or overdone. It may not work for some people because they may injure tissue and/or knock other vertebrae out by being careless. I also use a brace to support the area. Keeping it in place is much better than using the tool. It has been a lifesaver to me. After suffering for years, I have used it about 6 months. It stays in place much longer than I ever dreamed. A good chiropractor is the key to doing it right, but my back was going out almost at the blink of an eye and I wasn't able to get to one. Good exercise will also make help strengthening the muscles keep it in place. Check Youtube if nothing else. I use it as quickly as I can after it goes out. Since your muscles are trying to keep it from moving, it won't be immediate. If you lie down a time with cold followed by heat in the area it will work as quickly as a pill. I hope this helps.

I gave them to some friends, and I'm not familiar with the Magnetix brand, so I my answer is, "I don'tknow." However, they seemed almost the same as a set that I have (unknown brand bought 10 or so yearsago), i.e., steel balls and "sticks" with N-S ends.

No, I don't think so. It may make you more aware so that you can adjust your posture. It's main purpose is to hold the magnets over your shoulder area. It's more about healing than posture.

I'm not sure what results you are expecting to see or exactly why you are interested in using this product after your specific surgery, but I would tell you to print out the product details and discuss them with your doctor before purchase or use. This product will stretch your back and spine and can be uncomfortable in the beginning. It did help me but everyone is different. I strongly advise you to check with your doctor first in lieu of your recent surgery.

I don't have the same opinion as Jennifer Selstrom. The sticky pad s are fantastic. I can reuse mine still and I've used the unit EVERY NIGHT! The unit is powerful enough for any ache or pain I have. Sorry you are having trouble with yours, Jennifer. I ordered four extra sets of pads with mine, and I have not used up the first one yet. I guess it's all how you use it and store it. I aso bought a tube of the sticky stuff to apply to the pads bec a use I read that I would need it. Hsven't opened the tube yet, either!

Well I just tried mine tonight. I had HORRIBLE luck. Make that no luck. Where I get amazing and great feeling results with the standard 2 by 2 inch on all 4 modalities (tens, IF, EMS, Micro) each and every one of these felt like garbage except the tens alone and even IT felt restrained and "shocky". I will try again tomorrow with different positioning. I had them run vertically tonight and very VERY high since I had applied expensive Penetrex Pain Cream on my lower lumbar area and had to stay above that. Will lower the pads tomorrow but NO way I will try horizontal (even with the electrode gap in the middle) as I have 6 fusions. NO way I will risk going near all the Titanium in my spine.

I do not believe this uses any magnets. I never used a magnetic massager so I truly could not compare.

The one I bought had little snaps on the back of the pads and the belt and they snapped together. They adhere to your body with a sticky film. It works well and I would buy it again but I didn't pay that much for mine so try shopping around. What makes one better than the other I don't know as all I have used including at chiropractor's office shocks ya a little or a lot depending on how high you set it...good luck and may God bless!...

I threw mine away. I found some nice ones that were in the Wal-Mart medical area. I tried both of theirs and was much more pleased.

Hi Peter, I haven't noticed a reduction in back pain. However, I don't have back pain at the moment. I bought these because my calves are not handling my new running regimen. They work great for that.

Seriously, please discuss with your doctor/surgeon before you use *anything* that will affect your back, before or after your surgery is completed. Good luck!
