Yes. LIIFT is designed to be low-impact and provide a mechanical advantage for lifting one’s own body weight. It has been made for everyone to use regardless of age, body shape or size, or any other health issues that you may have.
Yes. This equipment flexes the spine while simultaneously separating the vertebrae, alleviating pressure on the nerves, and drawing oxygenated blood and vital nutrients into compromised disc tissue through osmosis. In this way, Liift actually promotes accelerated healing of the disc tissue.
80 % of Americans will experience lower back pain at some point in their lives. The prime age for occurrence is between 40 and 80, although it can affect anyone. It is the leading cause of disability in the workplace resulting in financial loss, and it has become the number one reason for the prescription of opioid medications.
Stress, poor diet, repetitive weight-bearing activity, poor posture, a sedentary lifestyle, poor lifting movements, genetic, high-impact work habits, and age can all be progenitors of lower back pain. All of these may negatively affect the soft tissue structures that support the spinal structure and allow for flexibility of the spine. But, by far, the majority of lower back problems stem from damage, injury, or weakness in the intervertebral disc.
Chronic lower back pain can have major consequences causing sleep disturbances, interruption of activities of daily living, hobbies, physical activities, and social life and even ultimately leading to depression.
Unhealthy lifestyle choices can have a profound effect on how we are able to deal with chronic pain and injuries. Avoid smoking, poor nutrition, repetitive, and stressful weight-bearing activity. Develop a habit of daily exercise to control weight and improve mental wellbeing.
Consultation with a qualified health care specialist to determine the nature and cause of the problem is paramount. Consider the most conservative options first, such as chiropractic care, physical therapy, and appropriate exercises. Surgery should only be considered as a last resort.
