How Trekke Lumbar Lift Works

The common pain generator of low back pain is one or more impinged nerves. The impingement can be caused by a number of things; bulging disc(s), bone etc, etc, and these typically result from degenerated discs.

Disc degeneration is a natural phenomenon of aging but can be aggravated by injury and other medical maladies. That said, the typical end result is that the height of the discs diminishes and some discs may bulge out or even hemorrhage, nerve channels are diminished and in extreme cases vertebrae may become misaligned.

With exception to injury or specific maladies, the main cause of disc degeneration is gravitational loading. From the moment we get up each morning we add the weight of our upper torso onto our spinal column, with the heaviest loading taking place in the lumbar region. Removing or reducing this loading can unimpinged the nerves and relieve the pain (“Muscles, spinal compression and low back pain”).

Trekke Lumbar Lift works by providing that pain relieving unloading and is the only device in the marketplace that was designed specifically as a full time treatment for many causes of low back pain, including the 85% that is undiagnosable.

Trekke’s two belts anchor Trekke to the body and as air is pumped into the device it pushes the belts away from each other, lengthening and unloading the lumbar spine.

Because Trekke is made from only soft and supple materials it can be comfortably worn all day, allowing the spine to be unloaded throughout the entire duration of use. This greatly decreases the degeneration cycle and increases the regeneration cycle of the lumbar discs.
