The natural unloading of gravity may stretch the spine, increasing the distance between each vertebrae. This helps reduce the pressure on the disc which can relieve the pressure on the nerve. This may create a vacuum or small suction which pulls the disc back into place. This may promote dehydration, and renourishment of the tissues, which stimulates the natural healing ability of the body. Lordex' gentle unloading may create rehydration, and renourishment of the tissues, which stimulates the natural healing ability of the body.

 

In the US, lower back pain is one of the most common conditions and one of the leading causes of physician visits.

Relieving pressure on the spine can also relax stressed and fatigued muscles.

The majority of episodes of acute lower back pain are caused by damage to the muscles and/or ligaments in the low back. Even though a muscle strain doesn't sound like a serious injury, the low back pain can be surprisingly severe and is the cause of many emergency room visits each year.

 

While neck pain (in the cervical spine) is less common than lower back pain (the lumbar spine), millions of people experience neck pain and/or related arm pain at some point in their life.

The vast majority of episodes of neck pain can be addressed with non-surgical treatments.

Lordex provides a gentle unloading that may relieve muscle tightness and tension.

Lordex may help the tissue waste elimination process by stimulating lymph flow and blood circulation. This allows the body to repair and build new muscle tissue.

 

Your intervertebral discs offer shock absorbing qualities using fluid, their jelly-like centers absorb to fill and act as spacers, separating your vertebrae from each other. As you age and gravity takes its toll on your body, these discs begin to lose blood supply and fluid content. Offering, as a result, less separation between your vertebrae and decreasing their ability to absorb shock--making them more susceptible to injury.

Lay flat on a hard floor, for just a minute or two. You'll feel the tension slip away, and your shoulders relax. You'll feel your body start to realign itself. Now, imagine being in decompressed position. Decompression reduces muscle pain in two phases--by relaxing and stretching the muscles and by increasing circulation throughout your body.

Simple actions like sitting, exercising and walking can put pressure on the nerves near your spine, resulting in back pain or neck pain and aches. Sciatic pain--pain down the leg--is also associated with nervwe pressure. You can relieve this pressure through decompression increasing the space between your vertebrae and opening up passages for your spinal nerves.

Facets join your vertebrae together and can be credited with allowing all of the normal movements of your spine. If you've recently suffered an injury or strain to yoru spine, your facet functionality may be compromised, or as you age, your facets may wear down. This typically results in pain in your lower back and neck, particularly when you twist your body or arc your back. Decompression therapy can help you relieve this pain by restoring facet joints to their proper positions and relieving the pain and inflammation associated with this condition.

Dysfunction in the sacroiliac joint is thought to cause low back and/or leg pain. The pain can be similar to pain caused by a lumbar disc herniation. This condition is generally more common in young and middle age women.

The sacroiliac joint lies next to the spine and connects the sacrum (the triangular bone at the bottom of the spine) with the pelvis (iliac crest).

 

Lordex' gentle unloading may create rehydration, and renourishment of the tissues, which stimulates the natural healing ability of the body.

 

Facet joints are small, stabilizing joints located between and behind adjacent vertebrae. Because of their location and function, facet joints often become worn down or degenerated.

Misalignments of the spine are caused by poor posture, trauma, too much sitting, inadequate exercise and movement. Even sleeping on a bad mattress can cause these misalignments. One sided activities, like swinging a golf club, carrying around a laptop or child, or even wearing a wallet in the back pocket and sitting on it, can create misalignments as well.

Lordex helps promote good posture by applying a natural and safe decompression to the entire weight-bearing skeleton.

 

The term sciatica describes the symptoms of leg pain and possibly tingling, numbness or weakness that travels from the low back through the buttock and down the large sciatic nerve in the back of the leg.

 

An important thing to understand is that sciatica is a symptom of a problem - of something compressing or irritating the nerve roots that comprise the sciatic nerve - rather than a medical diagnosis or medical disorder in and of itself. This is an important distinction because it is the underlying diagnosis (vs. the symptoms of sciatica) that often needs to be treated in order to relieve sciatic nerve pain.

Sciatica occurs most frequently in people between 30 and 50 years of age. Often a particular event or injury does not cause sciatica, but rather it tends to develop as a result of general wear and tear on the structures of the lower spine.

 

Most cases of sciatica are a result of the narrowing of the nerve root space between the vertebrae, resulting in increased pressure on the sciatic nerve.

 

Lordex allows for natural  decompression of the spine. This can potentially relieve pressure on the nerve, which stimulates the natural healing ability of the body.

This can also create rehydration, and renourishment of the tissues, which stimulates the natural healing ability of the body.

 

Under the influence of gravity, your body is always trying to adapt. If it is unable to adapt because of misalignments, weakened core muscles, sedentary lifestyle, or sitting at a computer all day, the body often succumbs to gravity. Stoop and rounded shoulders, forward head position, and general slouch are the body's attempt to correct itself biomechanically.

 

Lordex, unloads the spine and weight-bearing joints, inviting proper skeletal alignment.

 

The soft tissues in the body that actually hold your joints together are called ligaments. Although very strong and flexible (like a piece of plastic) they are not very elastic.

Muscles, on the other hand are strong but they are also like a rubber band - flexible and elastic.

Strong ligaments and muscles are critical for proper joint health and to protect against degeneration and injury.
