BACK CONDITIONS AND
CAUTIONS
There are many causes and conditions of

and therapies as specified by your
healthcare professional.
Scoliosis
When using the Nubax
shoulders and hips are correctly aligned
with the spine. The Nubax
you to have an effective means of traction
in your own home, for use between clinic
visits, and combined with other
treatments and therapies specified by your
healthcare provider amounts to an
effective treatment regime for Scoliosis.
The tight muscles along the concave curve
of the spine are stretched and released
enabling the spine to obtain a more
neutral position. Once the stretch has
been completed is an ideal time to then
strengthen the weak longer muscles on
the opposite side of the spine. These
exercises can be provided by your allied
health professional.
Sciatica
Research shows that the application of
traction to the spine of the required force
creates a distraction between the
vertebra. This separation reduces pressure
on the spinal nerves and back extensor
muscles, which assists to reduce the
pressure on the sciatic nerve, the cause of
Sciatic pain. The Nubax
provide the necessary traction to the
spine simply by utilising the bodyweight of
the user and its unique level of action.

Degeneration of the Vertebra
The application of traction to the spine
of the required force creates a
distraction between the vertebra. This
increased space also increases the flow
of fluids around the discs between the
vertebra. This aids the re-hydration of

between the vertebra created by an
effective amount of traction helps
reduce pain and helps to maintain the
separation if used regularly. This
separation also allows a greater
resolution of inflammation as facet joints
are not constantly irritated due to their
compression and that of the associated
spinal nerves.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Traction helps to increase the flow of
fluids around the discs and helps to
reduce pressure on the spinal column
and exiting nerves. The increased fluids
and reduced pressure assist in enabling
re-hydration of the discs, which aids
continued separation of vertebrae and
further pain relief.
