Lo-Bak TRAX by EZ-Bak Lumbar Spine Stretcher - Upper and Lower Back Stretcher for Herniated Disc & Sciatica Scoliosis - Portable Lumbar Traction Device for Spinal Decompression and Back Pain

I’ve owner this for over a year and it’s helped alleviate so much pain. Amazing simple product.

.It works as long as you're arms and triceps are strong enough to apply the appropriate amount of pressure. I wanted to try it out for a week or so before leaving a review but I felt relief after the first two days. The key is following the directions. You lay flat on the ground for at least a minute and a half, allowing your spine to align and straighten, pull your heels as close to your butt As you can. Then, you place the device down on your hips and press slowly But very hard and hold for about thirty seconds, then slowly release. Then, lay flat again for about a minute.Letting your spine realign, and repeat. I have fought back pain of the lower back since a weightlifting injury. This relieved pressure and pain almost instantly. My girlfriend was unable to push with enough strength to feel what I was feeling. So if you plan to buy this and just know that it does take quite a bit of effort to push and hold.

My Physical Therapist suggested getting a Lumbar traction stretcher, as it was similar to a tool she uses at sessions. I find the price a little high for how simple it is, but I appreciate that there are CDs with additional stretches. I feel the decompression, so I believe this does what it claims. However, I docked two stars because of how unappealing it was to receive the product. There was no padding, so the fact the CDs don’t have scratches is a miracle. The pads look used and a sticker of some sort is coming off. I purchased NEW, so I’m not sure why it would look like this. It is easy to use. There is no way to adjust the device itself - it’s one solid piece. The pads make it relatively comfortable; if you push at an angle, you will get the hard steel digging into your thigh. I’ve only used it twice, but I do believe this will help relieve the pain.

Best thing I ever bought. I use it daily and my posture is better and my back pain is getting much better. I recommended this to others and they love it too!

It had been months of pain due to a spinal bone spur with no relief other than pain mens. Tried chiropractor visits nothing helped, a good night's sleep was out of the question at this point due to pain. This little lower back device has given me so much relief and mobility again its amazing. 10 out of 10 no question purchase!
