Back Problems
Unfortunately immobilisation, injury, lack of use and old age
lead to a gradual decrease in our intervertebral discs of a gel like substance called glycosaminoglycans
(GAGs), which in turn leads to a parallel loss in water content. Our intervertebral discs are
the shock absorbers of the spine. If daily 'wear & tear' finally become greater than the
recuperative abilities of our spinal maintenance system, our backs feel progressively 'older' and
more 'stiff'.
The GAGs have the property of absorbing water when under pressure, and expelling it when pressure is
relieved. The general ageing process is accompanied by a progressive decrease in GAG content.
Studies show prolapsed discs contained less GAGs and the age-related decline of GAGs:collagen ratio is more
distinct in prolapsed discs. These differences in GAG composition are important in the mechanism of
predisposition to discs prolapse.
Solution:
One way to increase the water content in the disc is to 'stretch' the spine. By removing pressure from
the GAGs and releasing water into the system, it is possible to maximise the recuperative and mobile properties
of a person's spine
Preventative measures through Nubax® Trio.
listed on the Therapeutic Goods Administration
Sleeping puts the least amount of pressure on the spine in relation
to a normal day of work or recreation. Therefore, the ideal time to apply a reduction in pressure on the spinal
column is just before going to bed so that the spine receives the maximum amount of pressure relief, together
with the natural recuperative processes that occur during a good nights sleep.
The Nubax® Trio was designed with ease of use, effectiveness and
affordability at heart. By using the Nubax® Trio regularly you can aid recovery, prevent reoccurrence and help
maintain the overall health of your spine and lower back.
