How to Manage Lower Back Pain with Lumbarest Traction Mat.

Relieve Lower Back Pain – Step-by-Step Guide to Using Lumbarest Traction Therapy

 

Lower back pain can be effectively managed with Lumbarest back traction therapy, a non-invasive treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves.

Here’s how to use Lumbarest mat safely and effectively:

How Lumbarest Traction Therapy Helps Relieve Lower Back Pain

  1. Decompression of Spinal Discs – Stretching the spine creates negative pressure, allowing bulging or herniated discs to retract and reducing nerve compression.
  2. Improved Blood Flow & Nutrient Supply – Enhances circulation to spinal structures, aiding healing.
  3. Muscle Relaxation – Reduces spasms in the lower back muscles.
  4. Alignment Correction – Helps restore natural spinal curvature.

Steps for Using Lumbarest Back Traction to Relieve Lower Back Pain

  1. Consult a Doctor First
    • Ensure traction is safe for your condition (especially if you have osteoporosis, severe arthritis, or spinal instability).
  2. Set Up the Device Correctly
    • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for securing the harness around your pelvis and upper body.
  3. Start with Low Force
    • Begin with minimal traction force (e.g., 10–20% of body weight) for short sessions (5–10 minutes).
  4. Gradually Increase Duration & Force
    • Over time, increase to 15–30 minutes per session, adjusting force as tolerated (up to 50% of body weight).
  5. Combine with Other Therapies for Relieve Lower Back Pain
    • Heat/Ice Therapy (use before or after traction to reduce inflammation).
    • Gentle Stretching & Strengthening (yoga, pelvic tilts, McKenzie exercises).
    • Core Strengthening (to prevent future pain).
  6. Maintain Proper Posture After Traction
    • Avoid heavy lifting or prolonged sitting immediately after a session.

Precautions

  • Stop if pain worsens or radiates down the legs (may indicate nerve irritation).
  • Avoid if pregnant or if you have spinal fractures/tumors.
  • Use consistently (3–5 times per week) for long-term relief.

When to Seek Medical Help

If pain persists after 2–3 weeks of traction or is accompanied by numbness/weakness in legs, consult a spine specialist.
