great relief for Bulging disks and pinched nervers
599235
I purchased this pillow after a car accident left me with various bulging cervical disks and pinched nerves.  This was the third pillow style that I'd tried, and 3 was the charm.  You feel the relief instantly, and it helps to keep you sleeping face-up or sideways, which are the best for this condition.  I woke up less during the night in uncomfortable positions, and get a better night's rest since I started using this pillow.

Having scoliosis that aggravates serratus muscles when they are overused (as in exercising)--I have off and on chronic back pains. Long story, short---bought this gizmo, with no idea if it would work (but since I'd bought an ultrasound machine from them a few years back that DID solve my plantar fasciitis, I figured--the company is reputable.)

It works. The depth of the heat to a serratus muscle, that is buried under bone and more on the back--is amazing. Will use each time I do triceps exercises (which is when the issue arises.) Bravo.

I struggle with tight muscles in my lower back and was attempting to find something that would help relieve them.  This foam roller has been helpful in giving me some relief.  It is very sturdy and firm providing a substantial and safe way to roll.  I also like the bright orange color.  Friends have also tried this roller and found it to be helpful in lossening muscles and cracking their backs.  I have received this product at a reduced rate in exchange for my honest review.

This is a really good product.  The rolling pin type effect is great for both upper and lower back and works extremely well on quads.  I am a weight lifter and mountain biker and my back muscles and quads stay tight all the time.  This relieves that tightness with just a few minutes of rolling.  Provides a fairly deep massage with little to no effort on the part of the person giving the massage.  I highly recommend this product  for anyone who performs regular physical activity.

I have severe scoliosis in my lower spine.  I live in pain all  the time.  I ordered the Back Sac - and I must admit I was a little unsure.  But after reading the reviews I ordered it.  I got the Sac and it fits right in the bend of my spine giving me the best relief I have ever had. It provides gentle and flexible support because the Sac is filled with air.  Be careful not to over-inflate it.  I use the pillow all the time.  I sit in a recliner and sleep in my recliner.  This pillow is a unique and wonderful product for those of us living in pain.  Order it - you will love it.

I have a pinched nerve in my neck, this bolster is the perfect size for my PT and yoga classes. Nice thick fabric, but the piece itself is not to heavy to carry around. Very happy!

I initially bought this at the advice of a friend who had seen me suffering a lower back pain for several weeks. After reading the instructions and using the roller properly, my back pain was significantly alleviated over the next few days until it went away completely. Now I use it regularly in the mornings as part of a stretching routine, and I'd be lying if I said it didn't help me get the blood pumping and loosen my body from a groggy sleep. Also, if you're one of those who is constantly popping your back muscles, this guy gets the DEEP cracks out of your spine wonderfully. Good thing to have!

After the MRI report my chiropractor, who is actually a neck specialist, suggested surgery for two bulging discs pinching my C7 nerve and possible bone spurs in my neck. I was ready to go under the knife when a chance meeting with Richard Lunceford led me to the Egoscue.com website.  He said it's the only method that has helped his bone-on-bone lower back pain after trying many other therapies.

I got Pete's Motion and Pain Free books and performed the exercises in blind faith thinking there's no way this would work.  One week later, I felt better.  One month later the pain, stiffness and tingling shooting through my shoulder, arm, hand and upper chest shrunk about 50%.

I kept adding more exercises to my daily routine and can feel muscles strengthening my neck and back.  I rarely visit my chiropractor because I can now get rid of back pain faster through proper stretching.  These exercises have allowed me to become faster and stronger on the basketball court.

I'm focusing on my aligning my hips right now.  And I still haven't registered for the 8-week course at the Del Mar clinic.  I just followed the books.

Hard to imagine a few months ago I was faced with having screws and plates fused inside my neck.  Your book is a godsend.

I just wanted to add to the rightful accolades that this product has received on Amazon for anyone who, like me, were still tentative on buying it despite the good reviews. Using the Lynx, I got immediate relief from (varying from mild to debilitating) chronic pain I've had for years in a way I haven't had in years.

My personal situation is as follows: I'm 6'1", in relatively good physical health (no knee problems or anything) and I've got a bulging disc in my lower back that gives me a lot of lower back/leg pain, in some instances so bad I could barely walk or work. I've been doing stretches and core exercises for about a year now, which has been helping to keep the pain at bay. I could still lead a normal life, but there was a certain kind of discomfort that never went away, regardless of much I stretched that day. I bought this product in hopes that it would "get" the pain that I wasn't able to relieve through stretching - and it's worked beautifully. I've used this product 5 minutes and I am more pain free than I've been in over a year. It is worth noting that the stretching sensation isn't as obvious as it is when you stretch your muscles. It's not obvious at first, but the relief is enormous.

This product basically works on the principle of spinal traction, where you physically stretch your vertebrae apart. The idea is to allow your vertebrae to "decompress." This is the ONLY device I've found for less than a hundred dollars that can give you traction for your lower back, and it definitely works (at least for me). Almost all of your other options are $400 inversion tables that are very bulky or paying for expensive physical therapy visits to do traction there (too expensive to continue in my case).

The only drawback to this product is that the ankle locks are pretty uncomfortable. I had to wear three layers of socks in order to apply the force I needed to in order to stretch comfortably without hurting my feet. Other than that, this product is comfortable, easy to use, very durable and IT WORKS. If you are in lower back pain that might be disc related, do yourself a favor and buy this product. I don't doubt it will easily pay for itself in chiropractic/hospital bills.

Summary: Product works well for lower back pain, it's durable cheap and easy to use. I gave it 4/5 because the ankle locks are pretty uncomfortable, but that problem is easily surmounted. This product removed pain nothing I else I tried could touch. Definitely well worth the $100.

I have a couple of 8mm disk bulges in my lower back. This has provided me with the extra back support while doing heavy yard work and auto repairs, unlike the cheap back braces sold for that purpose. It provided outstanding lower back suppot. I've had it for a couple of months now and it is just as effective as the day it was new. It has reduced my back pain by 75%.

I sleep on both my back and my side, and this pillow works perfectly for me. I bought it when I had severe pain and numbing down my arm from a bulging disk in my neck and I got immediate relief from it. I no longer have those symptoms but I'm still using the pillow. I LOVE IT! I used to have occasional tingling in my hands and/or arms in the morning (before the bulging disk) but I no longer have it since I've been using the pillow. I recommend this pillow to everyone!

I was very pleased with this foot cushion -- I had been having pain below my right hip after long periods of sitting at my desk (I'm an accountant and often work 10-12 hours per day for long stretches.) It had gotten to where it hurt constantly and I was limping. I've always had a good ergonomic chair, but my massage therapist recommended a foot rest to take some pressure off my hip. The half-cylinder foot rest allows my thigh to be parallel to the floor, so that it's not pressing on the edge of the chair. After about a week, the pain was about 75% gone, and after 2 weeks it was completely gone. It's been gone for a month now, despite working 60 hrs/week during that time. I've always been a big supporter of getting the right equipment to avoid repetitive-type injuries like carpal tunnel, back and hip pain that are common in my profession. This simple product was an essential addition for me! I also recommend a gel seat cushion -- this is also helpful in taking pressure off the back of my upper leg and hips.

Had this for a few months now and its helped a lot. I have pinched nerves in my shoulder, so using my PC is painful, but this tray helps drop my keyboard to a much more comfortable height. The wrist pad is comfortable also, and is covered with a smooth cloth material, so doesn't give you that sticky sensation many wrist pads do. I also have very sensitive skin and the cloth does not irritate it. I do have 2 complaints. First, it is tricky getting the sides to line up properly so that the tray will glide in and out both smoothly, and straight - having a connection bar in the back and across the top in front might correct the issue, but as it doesn't connect now and is all separate pieces, its frustrating getting it to align properly. Second complaint is that they have a decal printed onto the wrist pad on the far right with some sort of rubbery material - this has started to wear off already and is leaving a sticky residue thats a bit annoying to deal with.

My story started 15 years ago.  I had a bulging disc (from trauma) and traditional PT produced limited relief.  I bought the original Model 1000 then, and it worked like a charm - decompressing my spine.  After several months, I stopped using it every day, and the pain didn't come back, so I left the unit sitting in a corner.  Eventually, my wife got annoyed with it in the house, so I sold it.

Fast forward to last month: I have multiple bulging and herniated discs (I'm an old geezer).  The PT was producing limited results, so I bought this new updated version.  As the cartoon character SPEEDY used to say, "Oh, what a relief it is!"  It provides serious reduction in the frequency and intensity of pain.  And the infrared feature - that's making the better best!

With all due respect to Mr. Teeter, his great product was and remains over-priced.  The Ironman line is a great value for the budget-minded.  And it is constructed with world-class heavy-duty sturdiness.  (I'm a 300-pound plus old geezer.)

My wife is OK with it in the house now because our Marine son stops by regularly to use it (and that way we get to see him a little more.)

I suffer from many joint issues that affect my back, neck, hips and shoulder. So always being in pain is a real incentive to find good support items to help ease that pain. I ordered this seat cushion to use whenever I am sitting at the computer for even just a short time. I wasn't sure what to expect since I had tried many before this one without success. I must admit that this one actually gives me some relief. It is well made, very firm and the contour of the cushion fits my behind very well. :) I have used it everyday for over a week and it allows me to sit at the computer for a longer period of time without severe pain. Not an expensive cushion price wise but what you get is a quality built cushion , good size (not like some where the width is very narrow), comfortable, and is actually worth purchasing.

My husband has an injury that he received while in the Air Force. He has a pinched nerve between L4 & L5. He has been on pain medication for the last 14 years. However it would give him temporary relief and he would not be able to sleep. Do due his type of job he would only take the medication at night. I found this in the gas station on day and had him try it. Instead of taking his pain medication (the bottle tells you not to take anything else with it) he drank a bottle and within 30 minutes he was out cold for the whole night. He has never slept so well in years. I now buy this off of amazon because he drinks this every night. Its easier than stopping at the gas station everyday.

I have herniated disks and spinal stenosis in the cervical spine and get muscle spasms and tiredness from supporting my neck for too long.  I find this to offer great added support and comfort for me when sitting for long periods at the computer, watching television and on airline flights.
