Very simply, LumbarTrac™ stretches and decompresses the spine to alleviate or eliminate back pain due to compressed discs by gently stretching the lower back in the best way possible. You are in full and complete control of how much "pull" you receive to the lower back.
LumbarTrac™ is a hybrid of a traction machine and an inversion table. Its sole purpose is to safely, comfortably, and gently pull your pelvis away from your torso in an effort to relieve pressure from tissue and nerves that cause inflammation and pain.
It is like an inversion table in that it relieves spinal disc pressure, but much more effectively with as much force as you need, and without risking migraine, stroke, or aneurysm by having blood pooling in the brain due to hanging upside down.
It is also like a traction machine in that it forcefully pulls the pelvis away from the torso, but unlike most traction machines, it is completely self-operated with full control of the tension force.
The key to the effectiveness of LumbarTrac™ is that you have full control and the ability to make "micro adjustments". This allows you to stretch at your own pace, relaxing every muscle in your back to get a much more effective pull.
