North American Healthcare Arched Back Stretcher Summary
If you are starting to experience back pain the worst thing you can do is ignore it and hope it will go away. You don’t have to assume it’s going to cost a small fortune visiting professional chiropractors too. Back stretchers are affordable and effective.
Give yourself some time with this device. Working a little more with it each day and spending longer in the stretched position. Most people only need to work up to 10 minutes a day to all but resolve their back issues.

FAQ’s
Which Way Round Is the Best Method of Using This Back Stretcher?
You can actually use this product any which way you want. See what’s most comfortable for you and your body type. You can use it to elevate your butt higher or your upper torso higher. It’s a versatile product and it’s up to you how you use it.
What Is This Back Stretcher Made From?
It’s finished in a soft vinyl. This is a good material for this type of product. It means that it will not tear easily, it’s also easy to clean, and it’s strong and durable. It has a wooden frame inside and I can’t imagine there is a weight limit you need to be concerned about.
Can This Stretcher Be Used with an Inversion Table Too?
I can’t see that you would be able to secure it safely enough to use it in combination with an inversion table so I wouldn’t attempt it.
