I first learned about the Disc-Traction belt when I threw my lower back out while gardening. I couldn't move without assistance and was unable to get to my chiropractor. The minute I started stretching with the belt, I felt relief from the pain and discomfort and was able to get up and down on my own. By the end of that first day, I had my mobility back. However, the real miracle is, since using the belt as a daily exercise, I have been completely free from any lower back stress. I would never consider starting my day without it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I exercise with the belt?
You can exercise with the belt as often as you want during your daily activities.  Many use it several times a day to decompress their spine while others on an “as needed” basis.  The best advice is – once you have found relief – exercise a few times a week for prevention and enjoy the stretch it provides.  Some have called DISC-TRACTION® “the five-minute Yoga.”

How long can I wear my belt?
You can wear the belt all day for support and use the exercises for stretching as needed.  The belt can be worn discretely under clothing.

How long does it take to feel results?
This depends on the nature and origin of your discomfort.  Relief can be immediate.  A 26-year old man was referred to our booth at the Paris trade show with severe sciatica, and as soon as he used the belt his smile came back for the first time in months.  In cases of sacroiliac joint discomfort, the belt is used for active support and repeated and longer use can show better results.

Which of the exercises should I do?
All five exercises could be effective.  You can perform the series of five or just the ones that give you the greatest benefit and you can do comfortably.

Does the belt help in sciatic conditions?
An example is the young man, mentioned above, at the Paris trade show that experienced instant relief after stretching with the belt, as well as testimonials from other users.  However, there are many causes for sciatica, so please check with your doctor if you are unsure if decompression is the right choice for your situation.

Can I use the belt while walking, jogging or sports such as golf?
Yes.  At DISC-TRACTION®, we have a slogan,  “don’t get caught without it!”  It’s the ideal tool for preventing injuries to the lower back during any kind of sports activity.  The belt is instrumental for correcting posture and alignment and could even improve your game.

My doctor has recommended underwater exercises to stretch my back.  Can I use the belt in the pool?
Yes.  Under water you’re weightless and there is no compression to your vertebrae.  Those conditions can make the belt even more effective.  Water won’t damage the belt.  Just hang it out to dry.

Is there any age limit for use of the belt?
No.  We have users of all ages, from under 21 to way up in their 80’s.

I don’t have lower back pain but tension in my upper back and shoulders.  Could the belt help?
Yes.  While using the belt, the shoulders move back and your stance improves.  Many users find relaxation in those areas.

Could the belt help lordosis and scoliosis?
These are progressive abnormal curvatures of the spine and the belt may help slow these conditions down by repeated stretching of the spine.  The user should consult their treating practitioner in such cases.
