How To Alleviate Pain With Best Sciatic Stretches Using An Atwood KS Back Stretcher

By Princess Smith


The sciatic nerve is the longest in the body. It reaches from the lumbar spine through the hips and pelvis and down the rear of the leg. Under normal circumstances, the sciatic is responsible for transmitting communication between the brain and the legs. If the sciatic is pinched, it causes pain. An Atwood KS back stretcher allows sciatica sufferers to alleviate their pain using noninvasive techniques.

Spinal discs can become compressed through many normal activities of the day. As a person goes throughout his day, he may lose up to one half inch in height due to compression of discs. Under normal conditions, the height is then regained each night while the person sleeps. However, disc wear and tear causes individuals to lose height that requires discs to be stretched.

Compressed discs do not get the necessary fluids and nutrients for healing. The dehydration often leads to degenerative disc disease. Stretching one's spine helps these fluids and nutrients to be drawn into the disc so that healing occurs.

Compressed discs often lead to pain. The pain can radiate to many areas of the body. When the sciatic is compressed, the pain may affect one's hip, leg, knee or foot. The condition can lead to numbness, tingling and loss of use of the affected limb.

The device allows the user to apply gentle pressure for stretching his own spine while in the comfort of home. With regular use, the compressed discs are elongated to a more normal shape. The stretching relieves pressure from a person's nerve and as a result the injured nerve can heal naturally.

With an Atwood KS back stretcher, you can receive natural help for the pain of sciatica. The device can help to prevent one's needs for pain medication. As it relieves pressure from the nerves, the body's natural healing process takes over and pain is reduced.
