If you have lower back pain, you may want to try the Serola Sacroiliac Belt. This belt may be the key to better health and better body alignment which can lead to a better life.

I’ve been living with low back pain since I had my first child 21 years ago. All the daily chores that you do for a child can take a toll on your body. Then after my second child and many house moves lifting and carrying boxes that were too heavy or lifting incorrectly can also damage and weaken this sensitive area. I just put too much strain on my body and my sacroiliac just has given out on me over the years. To make matters worse, I lifted something incorrectly to the point that I could not move. Any movement was excruciatingly painful. My chiropractor, Dr. Howard Friedman from Burbank, said that I irritated a disc and he recommended the Serola Sacroiliac Belt. “The Serola Sacroiliac Belt is the best support to provide integrity to the sacroiliac joints.” Said Friedman.

Sacroiliac joint pain is usually located in the low back, between the spine and hip joint, and normally does not move much. Misalignment of this joint can cause the pain associated with sacroiliac dysfunction. The pain often radiates down to the knee and into the groin on the same side. Typically, it is difficult to find a comfortable position when lying in bed. Sacroiliac joint pain can become severe and disabling if not treated.

The typical patient is often a woman in her 30s or 40s who has had children--this would be me. It is thought that the relaxation of the sacroiliac ligaments necessary for childbirth does not fully reverse, and that a subsequent minor trauma may sublux (partially dislocate) the joint and cause pain.

Younger women may develop sacroiliac problems as a result of sport or other injuries--this would be me, too. The condition also occurs in men, but less frequently and usually from more severe injuries, often involving lifting while the trunk is in torsion.

Treatment is usually medications, resting or utilization of a specific belt like the Serola Sacroiliac Belt to stabilize the joints. Local injections can also give pain relief and some physicians also tend to burn the nerves supplying the sacroiliac joints by radiofrequency treatment.

Approximately 12% to 26% of children and adolescents suffer from low back pain. Fortunately most low back pain is acute, and will resolve itself in three days to six weeks with or without treatment. If pain and symptoms persist for longer than 3 months to a year, the condition is considered chronic--this would be me.

I didn't want to be on medication or burn my nerves so I tried the Serola Sacroiliac Belt, and my life has been more productive and a lot less painful. I can stretch with less pressure on my lower back and better alignment. The key is wearing the belt. It’s easily worn under clothes without any bulges--I can even wear it to sleep with comfort.

Another great product for low back pain is the Sacrotrac which is a dual purpose pillow for Flexion/Distraction and Lumbar Support. As a Flexion/Distraction Device, Sacrotrac reduces facet jamming, disc compression, and hyperlordosis when used as lumbar support pillow. Placed under the
hips, the bottom (large) wedge puts the pelvis into posterior tilt. The top (narrow) wedge furthers the action of the pelvic tilt on the sacrum by displacing the sacral apex anteriorly and the base posteriorly. Provides pain relief for almost every back. This fantastic product can be used for sitting or lying down and is very comfortable. The Sacrotrac gives direct support and pulls directly from the sacrum and shapes to each individual for a perfect fit.

The Sacrotrac is great for low back and improves spinal alignment. You can use it in the car, at home or office. Take it anywhere and keep your spine aligned with comfort. Unlike conventional lumbar traction units, Sacrotrac grips and tractions the sacrum directly - instead of the pelvis - eliminating stress and injury to the sacroiliac ligaments, which can cause reactive, though delayed, dysfunction and muscle spasm. Sacrotrac is slow and gentle, creating a safer, more effective, longer-lasting stretch with less effort and better results.

Good posture is importance for your spine and reduces stress and pressure. If your doctor has diagnosed you with Facet syndrome, disc compression, lateral canal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and subluxation, the Sacrotrac may help and alleviate much of your pain and keep your posture aligned aiding lower back pain. While seated, Sacrotrac gives direct support to the sacrum and vertebrae, evenly distributing pressure throughout the spine and musculature.
