Does it help with herniated disc in lower back?

I apologize for being so slow. In process of moving. I have chronic neuropathic pain, from general wear and tear on joints, as a complication of cerebral palsy, and being almost 50 yrs. old. Crutches can cause alot of pain as one ages, from everything from bad falls to....you name it. I don't have DDD, but my wife does. She says the patches help more w/ the muscle aches associated w/ ALL this stuff, and the actual DDD pain is lessened some. ANYTHING you can find, short of illegal is worth a shot to me. I won't touch a narcotic unless in hospital. Hope this helps...TD.

No, it will not do anything to protect lumbar discs. However, there is always the possibility that you were misdiagnosed, which is not uncommon. If you try it and it helps, then it wasn't your discs that were causing the pain in the first place.

Well somewhat, I think it is mostly for back pain, somehow the magnets in it do work

Yes, you can, in my experience it either helps patients right away or does nothing. Also, since research is showing that people with back pain have weak multifidus muscles, check out Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis for a few exercises to help that.

I do not know if it relieves sciatica or not. I have some degenerating disks in my neck that is helped by HemingWeigh pad and pillow. My symptoms are worse than some other people so, I could not try to tell you anymore than some of the relief I have had.

Since the seat is wider than most it should provide more support. Not sure if this extra support helps a back problem. however.I would check with your doctor.

I have used it as an inversion to relieve and stretch back. somewhat hard to adjust for proper balance

No , it's not. This instrument helps to stretch spinal vertebra and let it to decrease compression on bone and disc. So discs have opportunity to regenerate and come back to normal position. As a result this instrument relief and prevent back pain inducing by disc displacement and shortening of spinal column and even lordosis.

I use it mostly for my hamstrings. I find that if my hamstrings are loose than my back isnt so bad (I have a herniated L5) .. I do some stretches for my lower back with it but primarily use it for my legs

No it doesn't. I had a t7 herniated disc and it worked great to get me on my feet again.

It could help. I bought one for my wife who had a sore on her bottom and it helped take the pressure off the sensitive area. Since pain is pain anything that helps eliminate some pain may help a lot.

Yes it does. When fully reclined your low back has all pressure off of it. Sorry I am not explaining it any better. Hope this helps

I use it mainly for my lower back. I do however feel a release of pressure all along my spine while inverted. It may well help your neck.I hope this has been of assistance to you.

I used it for my back... believe I have torn muscles etc, from heavy lifting. I did notice a big difference with it and shall continue to use it. Barbara

I bought this for my daughter after she had back surgery on her lower back between the hip bones. She said it helped her with the arthritis pain she was also experiencing.I don't know anything about a ruptured disc. That is a different type of pain, I would imagine.

It can, depending upon what is causing the neck and shoulder pain. Mostly, it helps gently re-align vertebrae, and safely stretch back muscles. You must be consistent with its use. And use it frequently, for short periods of time, rather than spend a half hour once a day on it. I would ask your physician's opinion on it first. It is spendy and difficult to return if it doesn't work.

I guess it may, depending on what is causing your numbness to begin with. The idea is it takes pressure off your spine/tailbone. It might be worth a shot. It has given me relief for pain that radiates down my leg do to a protruding disc.
