does it work for lower back pain?

I bought this as a part of a workout program I am doing. I use it mostly for soft tissue work. But I have used it on my back. Mostly for just stretching out muscles. That said, I have noticed that it really does help with tightness in my back when I use it. As a consequence, I now use it sometimes when my back is hurting. However the exercise program I am doing is also helping strengthen my back muscles as well. Long answer but this is how it is working for me.

My problems are all in the lower back (Lumbar and Sacral), so I am not certain. As this uses body weight to stretch the spine, I can't imagine that it would be as effective on upper back/neck issues. I would want to try before purchasing such a device for your purposes. I do hope that helps.

It targets the lower back more effectively. It has heat elements in the lumbar region and vibrates the upper thighs, buttocks, and lower spine. I have seen shoulder wraps that might work better for your particular issue.

No. It's great for softening & prevents dry skin. You're skin will feel soft all day and won't get dry. It's not good for your back though.

Yes, you can, in my experience it either helps patients right away or does nothing. Also, since research is showing that people with back pain have weak multifidus muscles, check out Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis for a few exercises to help that.

I found myself setting in one of these chairs in my Doctors office and found that it helped ease my lower back pain. On that experience I purchased one for myself. So, yes I find that the chair has excellent back support .

It is for the neck only. Which might relieve some pain down the spine depending on your physical issues, but it will only stretch the neck.

Yes it will help. Another thing that will help is a memory foam topper for your bed if you do not already have one. Any movement, no matter how gentle, will help too. Stand in place and do your version of the hula, forexample. Warm baths (15 minutes each) with a cup of epsom salts and 1/2 of baking soda mixed in will also help. Anything that stimulates the blood flow to you lower back is a big help. I have a machine, called "Back To Life" that I use and it's amazing how good my back feels after using it. Hope I've helped.

The ball is designed for lower back stretches. Inside the packaging will be picture and written exercises that you can do. I have found the exercises very effective at easing lower back discomfort and pain. I saw this on Dr. Oz last year.

It can, depending upon what is causing the neck and shoulder pain. Mostly, it helps gently re-align vertebrae, and safely stretch back muscles. You must be consistent with its use. And use it frequently, for short periods of time, rather than spend a half hour once a day on it. I would ask your physician's opinion on it first. It is spendy and difficult to return if it doesn't work.

I bought this for my lower back pain. It works wonderfully for me. I had pain to the point I couldn't walk from one room to another in my house without pain. Now I can walk down my street and back easy.

I bought this for my lower back problem causing Sciatica pains, difficult to move and sleep side ways. I was hoping this pillow will help in my condition. However, it does not have much to do in helping the back problem. In your case with neck and brain injury, that would be different story. I do not have same experience to guide you if it would be helpful to you or not. So, sorry.

Has not helped me so far.. I have several back related pains that have not gotten better with this product. It was a long shot, but I prefer natural products if possible rather than the strong meds that I have tried with little success. I have used about 1/2 the product and will use the remainder and hope for the best.

I'm not a dr., that said I feel better in my feet, lower back and neck (my target areas) after using it. I hope that helps.

I don't have that problem so I couldn't tell you on that. But it does give me relief to my lower back. You can always try one at stores that have them displayed or a friend that has one. But I would check with your Dr before you do it to be sure it is ok with your back problem

The short answer is no. Before I started to use an Airhawk I was having a lot of pain in my tailbone, however, I don't believe it will significantly relieve lower back pain. I have a back rest on my bike and it helps my back on long trips.
