Back Stretcher Back Cracker Back Cracking Device: Back Cracker Board 4 Levels Chiro Board, Back Popper Back Stretcher for Lower and Upper Back Pain Relief, Adjustable Spine Board Lumbar Stretcher

Ok, I've only had this one day, but I'm so glad I purchased. I had to review.I'm in my 30s, relatively healthy but have popped out a lot of babies in the recent years. My lower back is in shambles. Normally a few chiropractor visits relieve my pain enough to get on with life, but after this 5th baby that was no longer doing the trick. In fact, I had 2 visits recently that did absolutely nothing for relief.I was not sure what my next step was, so I was looking into expensive orthopedic visits, physical therapy, lab imaging costs. Something had to be done.I decided to give it a go at home, and did a LOT of research. All the YouTube exercises for building up muscle hurt. :( Stretching barely offered any relief. If you are like me you've looked longingly at expensive traction machines and imagined yourself feeling some relief. You've watching those really good in depth chiropractic video adjustments with the loud cracks and longed for the even temporary feeling of tension release. Massage helped for like, a minute.I've looked at inversion tables and trapeze swings to get some good traction, but this little device is cheaper than one doctors visit so I decided to give it a go. There are many of the same thing on Amazon. Im guessing they are almost all from the same mold from the same factory. I went with this one because it was among the least expensive at the time.So I'm writing this review because I read a lot of reviews prior to purchasing, and I didn't really see what I experienced described.I set this baby on level one and laid down on my stiff mattress. It didn't "hurt so good", it just felt uncomfortable and had me wondering if I was doing it right. So many people mentioned pretty instant relief and a good stretch, but I just felt discomfort although it was obviously something was happening. I laid on it for about 5 minutes and attempted to get up. I couldn't. I had to roll to the side without even moving the thing out from under me. A kiddo was yelling for help from me but I couldn't get up. I couldn't get off the bed. I slowly, very slowly yanked myself into a sitting position and kept resting and moving more to a standing position. It was rough.I told my husband something is seriously wrong with my back, I think this contraption made it worse. Why would a little traction make it worse? What's wrong with my spine!?!?But after a bit, I thought I noticed my back feeling a touch better? A little less ache where there is normally constant ache? After a couple hours I decided to try again, but at the middle setting. Im almost 6 ft tall and this device doesn't hit the same position on my back as it does for the average person, so I thought this might be a bit better. I hoped.I tried on the floor this time. I had a similar discomfort but this time it was actually a little difficult to breathe. I had been worried the different levels weren't going to be that intense, but they certainly are. I tried to relax and laid there for a little over 5 minutes, and did my pitiful roll off and struggle to my knees and finally standing up.Well, I went to bed in less pain than I have in a year. Its early morning and a kid woke me up, so I'm lying here and I'm so so so so so impressed. I wake up almost every morning in horrible pain, and this is the first time I don't feel completely awful. Its the first time I can adjust in bed and not nonstop focus on my back and how it feels like it needs to crack (but won't).Its early on, obviously, but I don't see how this thing WON'T be helpful. I am looking forward to using it again on a few hours to start my day. Well, I'm looking forward to feeling about 10 mins after getting up from it.Update: day 4 checking in. Each day has been better. Im currently laying in bed with NO lower back pain. Still hurts getting off this thing, but I know it's working so, whatever. Am I actually possibly going to be pain free one day soon? I plan to continue to update where or not y'all care.

works like a charm and feels good. It's easily adjustable depending how much you want to stretch out (4 levels). Muscle relaxation, great fast and easy back stretcher relief. You also get a little back massage on it when you're stretching. I use this to stretch my back out And it feels so great after I do it. After having an exterely positive experience, I bought 2 more, one for Recliner chair while watching TV and one for Computer Chair (I put them inside a pillow / cushion then on the chair to support my back so I can sit straight).I can't emphesise enough this stretcher makes a huge diffrence on my back comfort. Highly recommend!!

It keeps coming undone...difficult to use.

It Hurt my back more then it was, it’s not worth the money.

This product just hurts my back even more than it already does just use it to stretch my back but it feels hard the hard plastic is not comfortable on back maybe it was designed this way or maybe my back just hurts to much with the hard plastic pressing on my back maybe it’s not for me ..

This item arrived and it looked kinda junky as I put it together but my back had been in so much pain the last 2 weeks I was desperate to try anything. I put the setting on the strongest arch 1st and placed it just under my shoulders where the most pain was. As I dropped my weight onto it my back did crack 3 times relieving a lot of the pain. I laid there a bit then moved it down further and felt it help stretch my back slightly. Then I adjusted it to an eased curve and laid on it again and was able to crack the rest of my back. When you have no one to crack your back for you....this plastic gadget is a great help.

I got this as a gift and he loves it. It releases a lot of stress in his back and makes him feel so much better.

Wish handle was longer,works for me

I have back pain for 28 years of which I've found nothing to help. Cortisone injections, medications, wheelchair, walking frames, physiotherapy and chiropractic adjustments.This gives me IMMEDIATE relief from pain and allows me to walk normal again! So so so happy

Doesn't worth money, broken after use ... Very bad material

Not good product.very flimsy and not matching the image or description .not happy

Could do better with instructions on how to construct it
