User questions & answers

Question:	Is it safe if you have a hunchback
Answer:	The box says “ made in p.r.c.”
Question:	How often do you need to use this? How long do results last
Answer:	Peoples Republic of China
Question:	Is this helpful if you have hardware in your back
Answer:	The top diameter is 7.5 inches, the bottom is 5.5 inches and the depth is 5 inches. It is a kind of plump shape (see the photo in the description) so the middle section is about 6 inches. I really like this pot, as it is a good size when cooking for two, and the weight of the stainless steel is nice and solid - not flimsy like some that cost even more. I felt it was a good purchase.
Question:	How deep is the stretch compared to an inversion table
Answer:	I would reccomend washing first. You don,t know who has handled it,where it has been stored ,or what chemicals were used in manufacturing.

Product description

SPINAL STRETCH is a revolutionary breakthrough in portable spinal decompression so that it can be used at home, work, or on the road. It's as simple as wrapping a Velcro belt around your waist and chest, closing the door to hold the tether in place, then lying comfortably on the carpet and slowly increasing the pull. Provides the same relief to the lower back as hanging upside down. With regular use, symptoms from spinal conditions like disc herniations, spinal stenosis, muscle spasms and disc degeneration can improve. The science behind Spinal Stretch stems from research by ‘Neurosurgeon of the year’ Charles Burton, M.D. Patient's lower back were stretched with a pull of approximately 35% of their total body weight 2 to 3 times a weeks. At a one year follow-up: *70% of ‘surgical candidates’ were able to avoid surgery. *85% of the patients stated that they felt good to great. Please do not buy Spinal Stretch thinking that it is a quick cure for back pain. It must be used frequently and over time to achieve the full benefit. Value Added: Comes with a Nylon travel bag, chest belt for additional traction, and a user guide.

• Compact, portable low back traction (decompression)
• Recommended by MD's, Chiropractors and Physical Therapists
• Reduce nerve pressure, relax tense muscles, decompress spinal discs
• Weighs just 5 pounds and folds down into a carry bag 17"x6"
• Provides an adjustable pull up to 40% of one's body weight

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi, can this be used on a rough concrete surface as it may provide the same non slip capabilities of an installed carpeted floor
Answer:	One would need to use a throw carpet with the white non slip rubber backing. The carpet I use is 3 by 2 feet and I lay it on my tile or hard wood floor.
Question:	Can you set this at the middle hinge on the door for a slight "lift" as it stretches
Answer:	I'm not sure why you would think a slight lift would be to your advantage unless you want the main concentration of the traction force to move into the higher lumbar and lower thoracic vertebral jts. By far most people suffer the lower lumbar region. Also, I dont think you can attach to the actual hinge hardware. I think you could slip the strap end through the door gap above the hinge and then see if you can close the door to prevent it slipping out .
Question:	is there a demo video clips for this device
Answer:	No, just written instructions come with the divice
Question:	Can this belt be used with inversion table
Answer:	I understand your question because there are new types of inversion tables using a y type belt to take the pressure off your ankles. I am wondering the same. Could it somehow be used to attach to the foot part of the inversion table?
Question:	Will it work with a Samsung Tablet
Answer:	It should as long as the tablet is compatible with the USB connection.
Question:	Will this work with a Kindle Paperwhite
Answer:	I don't know. I don't have a Kindle Paperwhite. I have a standard Kindle, 7" and it fits. I will say that the two cords my husband purchased in June no longer work. So I would not advise buying these.
Question:	Will this work for Samsung galaxy express
Answer:	Hello, I have a Samsung galaxy j3 with micro usb charging port. If I had to guess, I'd say YES! I believe it will for your Samsung model.
Question:	Will it work on the amazon fire hd
Answer:	this will work for fire hd hdx 7 8 10, but we need to tell that the newest fire hd 10 (2019 released model) need the type c cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZQXKTGW

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this be good for L5 S1 herniation that feels better in the prone position
Answer:	Hi Dave, since I am not a medical doctor, I can only offer my consumer opinion. I have very narrow disc space in L4-L5, L5-S1. I have been using this for 2 months now and I can report a 50% reduction in low back pain/sciatica. In theory, it should increase space for the disc which should help relieve the discomfort.
Question:	Can you use if you have glaucoma
Answer:	the best answer of course is to ask your physician, but glaucoma is a condition that involves increased pressure in the eyes that can damage your optic nerve and surrounding structures. the other type of devices that involve inversion( hanging upside down) is often not tolerated well by many people. The inversion of the body drains blood to the head causing increasing pressure and decreases the ability of the vessels in the head to drain appropriately since the head has increase pooling of the blood. This product has you use it laterally versus inverting yourself, by going laterally you avoid the aforementioned.
Question:	Will Nubax work for a short female 5 feet tall
Answer:	Yes. It will take some adjusting to get the relationship between the shoulders and the hip barproperly set, and it will work for shorter people.
Question:	What is the black pads made out of
Answer:	black pads are foam, may be closed cell foam because they are tough.

User questions & answers

Question:

How much weight can this hold

Answer:

Not much. The stitching is what is going to fail 1st. I weigh 220 lb. I never gave it all my weight when I was using it. It only lasted 2 or 3 uses before it started to come apart. My advice. Get a chin up bar (if you don't have one already) and hang by your hands but keep your feet on the floor so your core will relax and decompress. That's what I do. The reason is that you can tell your own straight. Along with your straight will build over time. So you will be able to spend more time on it. There's a lot of good YouTube videos on this if you want to know more. I hope this helped.

User questions & answers

Question:	How tall is it set up
Answer:	About five feet. If you don’t have room to keep it up all the time then I’d suggest something else because it’s cumbersome to set up and take down. Additionally, it’s hard to put the clothes on because once it’s set up up have to work around each layer to lay the clothes out straight to minimize wrinkles. I’m giving it away as I didn’t like it.
Question:	How much weight can each mesh level carry without sinking
Answer:	I have only been placing one sweater per level... not sure how to answer for weight. I hope this is a little bit helpful.
Question:	Right about now, I'd buy anything that prevents mental friction, yes
Answer:	Yes, anything that helps you get through the day! Buy some MJ stocks, sit on your couch and chill til it all blows over. This sweater dryer, Perfect!
Question:	Does it fold to store when not in use
Answer:	No, it doesn’t fold but you can pop the sections apart and cradle them inside one another but rotating them slightly.
