I heard wonders about inversion tables for your condition.
"The practice of hanging upside down to treat spine problems (by applying gentle traction to the spine) has been around for more than 2,000 years. Since inversion tables are not very cheap, it's important to find out if they are safe for your specific condition and if they actually work. Though they are usually used to treat back pain, they can also reverse other negative effects of gravity, like blood circulation problems, height loss and contribute to your general health.
How Do Inversion Therapy Tables Work?
Inversion tables reduce the influence of gravity, which reduces the compression of the vertebrae and discs and allowing the muscles and ligaments around your spine to finally relax. Hanging upside down can help to stretch muscles, reduce stress and tension, and provide healthy movement for your ligaments. The blood flow to your spinal muscles is increased and you probably know how poor circulation can cause variety of health problems - from heart disease to sexual dysfunctions. Other benefits are:
* Increase of mental alertness
* Improvement of your posture effortlessly
* Increase in range of motion in the joints
* Improvement in muscle flexibility
* Relieves stress
