Is it possible to remove the acupressure nodes and lumbar bridge if it is uncomfortable?

Yes. They are completely removeable and adjustable. Avery quality piece of equipment.

Yes, you simply push in and twist to secure them. They are simply another option should you decide to use them.I have been using the unit for several months and have yet to use the nodes.I hope this helps:)-robert

Yes the nodes and bridge are separate pieces that you are able to move around and adjust position or remove completely.

Yes they can be very uncomfortable if placed in the wrong spot, but you can remove them and put them where they will be more comfortable or remove them all together

Yes. They are not installed on the main portion of the Teeter. You can place them at any location you would like to use them or relocate them or leave them off.

Absolutely - both the nodes and lumbar suppoort are easily removed! I have anklyosing spondylitis and the table has been a huge relief for me personally. The quality of the table is very high end. Needless to say I'm extremely pleased!

Yes. My husband says there is one trouble with this product and that is it becomes uncomfortable when you need to sit for a long period of time.

Only if you remove the skin/rind and use the fleshy soft part otherwise you are asking for major blockages

While I am not a doctor so am not qualified to give advice about healthcase, I would think that as long as there are no sutures between your spine and the unit, and your spine has not been modified in any way (it is still able to move in a natural way, then I would think that this usit could be of value for holding your spine in the proper shape, hopefully offering some pain relief.

I don't believe you could. When I pull mine off it is pretty well stuck together. You can try Sombra and rub it into your pain places. You can get hot or cold and I get the cold. You can get it at any Medical Supply store, maybe even at Amazon, I am not sure. It really works!

I haven't experience acupuncture but the needles on the mat are more like what a massage therapist might do by applying pressure on a muscle.... except there's many needles... so the effect is all over your back all at once. The pillow, placed under the neck, gets at those little muscles at the base of your skull. It's all quite relaxing once you get past the initial little bit of pain from the sharp points pressing on so many places at once.

All of the tension is now gone from the entire area of my neck/jaw-including mouth and head. It is almost as though it helped with any realignment that was needed there. When used in the center of my back and shoulders, I have had no need to get any chiropractic adjustments either. By the way, it's also a very enjoyable experience.

I cannot say, unfortunately it did not bring me relief after all. I am under the care of a chiropractor now. Not sure if I was sitting on it properly, but it did not work for me.

No. The cushion is very firm and will not compress enough to make this position comfortable.

I haven't used it after the first attempt. It's messy and hard to get off. I use chiro and earthing pads.

As long as the nodes make contact with skin, yes. If dog doesn't react, try a higher setting. Dogs will usually drop their head or yelp when it becomes uncomfortable.

You can't use the Acupressure Nodes or Lumbar bridge with the 950. Also it does not have the ComfortTrack bed, which is more flexible. You must purchase the 560 or the 960 for those features.

I think this is something to ask your physician because it really depends on the type and source of your discomfort. However, I have used the TENS unit on my lower back where I had disc surgery about 18 years ago and it relieved the residual pain. I believe that muscles and nerves 'remember' pain and if you can interrupt that 'memory' it might be possible to find relief. For me, this little unit has had a remarkable effect on the quality of my life.

I don't remember what the instructions said, but I would not use it that way as the massagers are very firm and full body weight in a reclining position could be painful. Check instructions. In my office chair it is perfect!

It is not uncomfortable at all. We barely use the massager, but find the comfort and the reclining function really great.

Hi, I wouldn't, particularly if you have soft/sensitive skin. Its very abrasive and affective at removing dead skin, but on sensitive areas of the body, you can be left feeling sore if you're not too careful.

I have stenosis and four bulging disks with a ruptured c4. At first I thought it was far to firm. I removed about 3/4 of a quart and now lying on my back my head winks in slightly and my neck is fully supported. So for me, a bit had to be removed. But as it mentions you readd it later so hang on to it. It wasn't much to meet my comfort level but as it's customizable I may tune in over a few nights. You really want to support the neck with even pressure to the head. This looks like it's going to accomplish that well but it may take a couple nights to find the right volume.
