“How I got rid of my back pain at the age of 72”

Mr John Michael

-

Ifirst experience­d back pain just before I retired and as the years passed, it got worse. I had to hold my hips when I walked or went upstairs. The slightest effort was torture.

Fate stepped in

I wasn’t allowed to take antiinflam­matories because of a recent heart attack and I resigned myself to a life of pain. But fate stepped in and I’m 72 now and pain free. Last July, I was flipping through a magazine, and an article about back pain caught my eye. It read ‘Do you suffer from lower back pain?’ and it was the story of a man who’d been immobilise­d by terrible pain following a car crash. A pharmacist had sold him an extraordin­ary lumbar decompress­ion belt that helped to work and stretch an area around the 4th and 5th vertebrae.

Formal guarantee

I was sceptical. I’d been suffering for almost 20 years and I’d already tried lots of methods: creams, exercises and even injections. They gave me a bit of relief, but the effects never lasted very long! Getting up in the morning was so painful and this put a dampener on my efforts to find a solution. At the end of the article, there was a phone number and a website. I called out of curiosity, but when I was told the belt came with a total money-back guarantee, I thought, ‘why not give it a try?’ They promised: “if my pain didn’t go within 90 days of receiving my Stretch&go® belt, I could send it back for an instant refund.”

So I had nothing to lose by trying it out, so I ordered my belt.

So easy to use

I received it within 48 hours and put it on right away. I was a bit worried I wouldn’t be able to wear the clothes I wanted but it wasn’t a problem at all and I very quickly forgot I was wearing it and no one noticed I had it on. You need to inject a bit of air into the belt using the pump provided. As soon as you feel a little pressure, you stop and your belt will do its job of decompress­ing your vertebrae. Plus, you have the great feeling of being taller, stronger and more upright. I felt something was happening in the first few minutes and decided to keep it on all day and night.

I can walk normally

As I mentioned, getting up in the morning was a real ordeal. I was bent in half and it took hours before I could stand up straight. Believe it or not, the first morning there was already an incredible difference. I still had some pain but I was standing up straight! After that, every day got better. I climbed the stairs painlessly, I began to walk normally without holding my hips.

Until one day (about 3 weeks later) when I got up in the morning without feeling the slightest pain! I wore it every day for a couple of months, and a few nights because it also felt good lying down with it on. Then one day I went to my son’s for the weekend and left it. I realised I was no longer in pain even without having it on. So I stopped wearing it.

Two weeks ago during a routine check at the doctor’s, I asked him how this belt had managed to relieve my back pain and continue working when I wasn’t wearing it anymore.

Out of curiosity, he arranged a few X-rays. He was amazed because my interverte­bral discs had grown in size and my vertebrae were better spaced. He explained to me that the belt had decompress­ed my vertebrae and allowed my discs to regenerate. As a result, it was unlikely the pain would reappear any time soon.

“I’ve no more back pain and can even touch my toes with ease!”

Don’t let the pain back in

However, he told me that at my age it was inevitable the vertebrae would settle again. So if I wanted to avoid more, I’d have to use my belt back regularly. I understood why I was no longer in pain and

followed his advice to put the belt back on before the pain returned. This belt changed my life, my friends tell me I’ve gained a new lease of life and my only regret is not experienci­ng the results of the Stretch&go® belt sooner in life. So, if you suffer from back pain, don’t do what I did, don’t wait years to get rid of it. Ask today for a risk-free trial of your Stretch&go® belt.
