Helpful adjustable bed Solutions for back pain
- The Zero Gravity Position: The immediate reason for back pain is excessive pressure on the back. The zero gravity position is one that reduces the pressure on the back. It’s called “zero gravity” because of how much less weight is put on your back. You lie down with your upper body and thighs raised. The angle between your upper body and thighs should be around 120 degrees.
- Lower lumber Support System: A lower lumbar support system is a device or tool that supports the lumbar spine, which is our lower back. If the lumbar support system is built into the bed, it would be where the lower back of the person would be. The lumbar support maintains the natural curvature of the lower back. If it’s high enough, it can stretch the lumbar vertebrae.
