Back pain is caused from different problems including Acute Pulmonary Edema. Edema builds up abnormal and excessive fluids that cause serious problems with tissue cells. What happens is similar to over-watering plants where the plant will swell and gradually wither away.

People can be grouped into having either small, medium, or large bone structures. The structure of the muscles and bones play a part in how the body is framed as it ages. Your weight can depend up your bone structure as well. For example, a medium-boned woman at the height of 5′2″ can weigh up to 135 pounds without being considered overweight. A larger bone structured woman can weigh a few pounds more without tipping the scale.

For 15 years the Sacro Wedgy has been helping thousands get relief from a variety of lower back problems. When any one muscle gets too tight, it may start tourquing in the spinal column and in turn put pressure on nerves and create pain. Sciatica, back pain, hip pain, knee pain, piriformis syndrome, heel pain, shoulder pain, bad posture are just some of the symptoms associated with a muscle imbalance.

Back pain can often be caused by a muscle imbalance. There are of course other reasons to have pain in this region but the Sacro Wedgy helps the muscles relax and create balance and in turn helps control a variety of symptoms.

For example, if the psoas muscle is too strong on one side of the lower back it will torque and pull in the spinal column since it is attached to the spine. The psoas muscle starts in the back at the 12th thoracic, crosses the pelvis and inserts in the front of the thigh. Once you walk off balance and favor one side, a snowball or domino effect occurs and creates other symptoms.

By relaxing on the Sacro Wedgy with the sacrum elevated and hips free to drop and relax, the psoas now has a chance to relax, rebalance and release using gravity and your body weight.

A tight muscle isn’t going to relax until it has somewhere to go. The Sacro Wedgy® placed under the sacrum, combined with proper neck support, provides this space allowing balance to occur. Better muscle balance and better posture can mean fewer problems.

It’s easier to prevent a problem than to get rid of it!
