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.

A compressed disc does not benefit from the normal ebb and flow of bodily fluids that bring oxygen and nutrients into the structure. Disc dehydration is a primary cause of degeneration. Stretching can restore the natural flow of nutrients and bring healing.

Compressed discs can lead to pain in many parts of the body. When the compression affects the sciatic nerve, the pain can affect the hip, leg and even the foot. In addition to pain, the sufferer may experience numbness, tingling and even loss of use of the affected limb.

This device is designed so the user applies gentle pressure to stretch his or her own spine in the comfort of their own home. Regular use can help compressed discs to be elongated to their normal shape. The stretching helps to relieve the pressure from the nerve allowing healing to take place.

An Atwood KS back stretcher provides natural relief for the pain one experiences with sciatica. This device can address the underlying problem and may reduce dependence on pain medication. As pressure is relieved, the natural healing process of the body takes over and pain is reduced.
