If you suffer from low back pain, you know how miserable it can be to sit in an office chair for long periods of time or take long car trips. Typically lower back problems are caused by bad posture, and while there are a variety of products available to deal with the symptoms of back pain, the key to getting rid of back pain is to treat the source of it.

The Sacro Wedgy is a great product for dealing with low back pain, sciatica, hip pain, knee pain, and other conditions. More than just a product with a funny name, the Sacro Wedgy is designed to be placed under the sacrum, which is the large triangular bone at the base of your spine and upper part of your pelvic cavity, directly between your two hip bones. The design is based on an old osteopathic technique of placing a hand under the sacrum which elevates the bone and allows your hips to relax on either side. The Sacro Wedgy holds your hips in place, giving them the ability to drop, relax, and release. When combined with a firm neck support, such as the Dr. Riter’s REAL-EaSE Neck and Shoulder Relaxer, the Sacro Wedgy creates what therapists refer to as “natural traction”.

Because the sacrum is shaped differently on men and women, the Sacro Wedgy is available in two models. Keep in mind that this is not an immediate solution for bad posture or back pain. The Sacro Wedgy must be used consistently for you to begin to see results and for your muscles to balance themselves properly.

Since so many people suffer from back pain, the Sacro Wedgy makes a great gift. So give your friends and loved ones a “wedgy” and help them say good-bye to back pain! And don’t forget the Neck and Shoulder Relaxer!
