When you were growing up, you were probably told to "sit up straight" and "don't slouch!" If you were wise, you followed that counsel. If not, you could be paying the price for it now with chronic back pain.
But, contrary to what most people believe, back pain isn't an irreversible inevitability of old age. Decades of research from clinical director Michael Halliday and the medical professionals at Uprightly have found that the opposite is true.
Most people can fix these problems by rebuilding a healthy spine. Uprightly's experience and research shows that nearly 95% of patients improve symptoms, function, appearance and activity over a lifetime if they comply with Uprightly's prescribed methods.
Many case studies demonstrate you're never too old to start, including this woman from Utah.
The growing grandmother
Anne, an 80-year-old woman with multiple-level stenosis (closure) of the lumbar spine, was referred by her physician to the Uprightly Spine Care Center. She reported severe and debilitating chronic back and leg pain and was diagnosed with multi-level lateral stenosis. Typically, this is a non-operative condition where patients survive on pain and anti-inflammatory medications.
Eager to resume an active lifestyle including hitting the slopes, Anne completed the Uprightly program enthusiastically. Symptoms began to improve within two weeks and were mostly resolved by week 11.
Her follow-up spine shape assessment revealed a surprising change, even to the experts at Uprightly. Her total spine arc length had increased 3.4 inches and the natural spine curves were much closer to the ideal shape and appearance. She was physically 2.1 inches taller! Anne effectively recovered her lost height in addition to reshaping and strengthening her spine. Now, her dreams of returning to the physical activity she once enjoyed came true.
Anne's testimonial: "What a miracle! Not only is my pain under control, but I restored my height too! My back is better and I'm back on the ski slopes."
How she did it
Anne reported that she had used the UpLifter — a chair that allows one to perform exclusive and specialized back exercises — at least three times every day because it brought relief both during and afterward.
Dutifully using the Uplifter stimulated her intervertebral discs through a process known as anabolic cyclic loading and unloading, thus increasing their fluid content and "pumping" her spine upward. The process lifted each vertebra a small amount, which reduced pressure on delicate nerve roots and brought relief. Her forward lean also improved from 10 degrees to nearly vertical.
Overall, she improved her stature, her posture and her appearance just by diligently following the program and using her in-home equipment.
If an 80-year-old woman can do it, so can you. The Uprightly Program works for almost any mechanical spine condition, for any person, at any age, who is willing to put in a little bit of simple work.
Treat your back pain without surgery
If you're among the millions of Americans suffering from chronic back pain, you might think surgery is your only option for finding permanent relief. But a study published on PubMed Central casts doubt on whether or not surgery is always the best or most effective option.
"The reputation of surgery rests on the observation, after treatment, that some patients sometimes do well, with some procedures. That is little solace to the majority of patients who do not do well, who suffer complications, or who are rendered worse by surgery," the study concludes.
Uprightly offers a different approach that's non-invasive and effective. Halliday and his team of medical professionals have devoted four decades to investigating better ways to manage and treat chronic spine pain. The result is the Uprightly Spine Care Program, which helps you soothe, heal, rebuild and protect your own declining spine and discs.
Uprightly often gets confused with chiropractic or traditional physical therapy services, but the Uprightly Program is unique because it teaches you how to control your symptoms and maintain healthy habits at home, for a lifetime.
You'll have access to a series of master class videos, online resources, and a dedicated licensed Spine Coach that provides virtual or in-person guidance along the way.
