For Thomas Baines, a 54-year-old construction worker from Michigan, the simple act of getting out of bed had become an excruciating daily challenge. Years of physical labor had taken their toll, leaving him with chronic back pain that conventional treatments couldn't resolve.
"I tried everything," Thomas recalls. "Pain medications, physical therapy, expensive braces—nothing provided lasting relief. My doctor started talking about surgery, but I was terrified of the recovery process and potential complications."
Thomas's story is far from unique. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, about 80% of adults experience back pain at some point in their lives. For many, this pain becomes chronic, affecting their quality of life and limiting their ability to work and enjoy daily activities.
Real People, Real Results
We spoke with three individuals who have experienced life-changing results with the Neurogena MAX Back Decompression Belt. Their stories showcase the diverse ways this therapy has helped people reclaim their lives.
"As someone who works in construction and spends long hours on job sites, my lower back was constantly aching. I'd tried everything - different work boots, back braces, even expensive chiropractic sessions. Nothing gave me lasting relief until I discovered this decompression belt."
"The first time I used it after a long day at work, I felt immediate relief. The gentle traction was exactly what my compressed spine needed. Now, after using it for 30 minutes each evening for the past two months, I can work full days without that nagging back pain that used to plague me."
"What I love most is how easy it is to use. I can put it on while watching TV after work. It's become part of my daily routine, and I honestly can't imagine going back to life without it."

"After 35 years in education, constantly on my feet and dealing with the stress of administration, my back was in terrible shape. Retirement should have been relaxing, but instead, I was dealing with constant pain that kept me from enjoying activities with my grandchildren."
"My daughter researched this decompression therapy and convinced me to try it. I was skeptical at first—I'd tried so many things over the years. But within the first week, I noticed a significant difference. The sharp pains that would shoot down my leg were becoming less frequent."
"Three months later, I'm gardening again and can play with my grandkids without wincing. I use the belt every morning for 30 minutes while I have my coffee and read. It's given me my retirement back."

"Working in a warehouse, constantly lifting heavy boxes and being on my feet for 10-hour shifts, had destroyed my lower back. The irony wasn't lost on me—I was managing operations while I was in constant pain myself."
"I'd tried physical therapy, pain medications, even considered surgery. Then a coworker mentioned this decompression belt. As someone who's tried everything, I was initially skeptical of any 'at-home' treatment, but the science behind spinal decompression made sense."
"I started using it during my lunch breaks and for 30 minutes when I got home. The relief was gradual but consistent. After six weeks, I realized I hadn't taken a pain medication in over a week. Now, four months later, I can work my shifts without that constant ache. It's been life-changing."

"The concept is remarkably simple yet effective. By gently elongating the spine, we create space between the vertebrae, which reduces pressure on the discs and nerves. This approach addresses the root cause of many back problems rather than just masking the symptoms."
A New Approach to an Age-Old Problem
The breakthrough came when Thomas discovered home decompression therapy—a non-invasive approach that addresses the root cause of many back problems rather than just masking the symptoms.

Clinically Proven Results
The effectiveness of decompression therapy isn't just anecdotal. A clinical study involving 259 patients with various back conditions found that the therapy was highly effective in addressing symptoms including sciatica, bulging discs, and scoliosis.
A Better Alternative to Inversion Tables
While inversion tables have been a popular option for back pain relief, many users find them cumbersome, difficult to use, and sometimes even intimidating. The Neurogena MAX offers several advantages over traditional inversion therapy:

What Verified Buyers Are Saying
Finally Found Relief!
After years of physical therapy, decompression, stretching, changing diet and sleep positions... Nothing ever made any difference. Bulging disc pain (verified with MRI) was not terrible for me, but it just never stopped. Never. I started 15 min decompression sessions at home... And after the second or third week, I couldn't feel the disc bulge anymore... I was cautious and skeptical... But it never came back!!! I'm now two months pain free. I pray this works for you as it did for me.
Completely Pain Free Now
I've dealt with lower back pain and sciatica for years. After an MRI showed my L5 was wrecked, surgery was suggested but I decided to try this belt. After just three weeks, I'm completely pain-free. I've tried many other products over the years but this one actually works. If you need real relief, I highly recommend giving it a try.
Is This Approach Right for Everyone?
While the results are promising, medical professionals emphasize that home decompression therapy isn't a universal solution. Dr. Stevenson advises: "Patients should always consult with their healthcare provider before starting any new treatment approach, especially those with recent injuries, post-surgical conditions, or severe structural issues in the spine."
However, for many people with chronic back pain, especially those with bulging discs, sciatica, or general wear and tear, the approach offers a non-invasive alternative worth considering.
"What's particularly valuable about this approach is that it can be used alongside other treatments," Dr. Stevenson adds. "It's not an either/or situation. Many patients continue with their prescribed exercises or medications while adding decompression therapy to their routine."
