What is Self-Care for the Spine?

Real healthcare is selfcare. What can you do at home to help with your spinal alignment, abnormal posture, neck pain, low back pain, chronic pain, headaches, herniated discs, radiculopathy, spinal stenosis, stiffness, and other health issues related to your spine and nerves?


The best answer is to use Dennerolls, which are prescription only spinal orthotic devices used specifically to align your spine into its proper position. This should only be given out when analyzed by a chiropractor who practices Chiropractic Biophysics, tested by X-rays, and used in the office minimally one time with supervision to make sure you use the Denneroll properly.


A cervical Denneroll comes in all different sizes: large, medium, and small - which is mostly for pediatric spines. Even children can get their spines aligned. The best time to correct your posture and spinal alignment is when you are younger. Cervical Dennerolls have been shown to help with neck pain, herniated discs, low back pain, radiculopathy, forward head posture, text neck/military neck, cervical kyphosis (reversal of neck curve), dizziness, headaches, and balance.


A thoracic Denneroll is used to decrease your mid back curve. This is when people have slouchy posture, hump on the mid or upper back, rounding of the back, and thoracic kyphosis. This has been shown to decrease those abnormal posture, stand up straighter, improve ability to breathe, decrease lower back pain, neck pain, middle back pain, headaches, and improve the overall spinal alignment.

A lumbar Denneroll is used to increase the lumbar curve and improve abnormal low back posture. This has been shown to help with chronic low back pain, herniated discs, sciatica, degenerated disc disease, radiculopathy, spinal stenosis, lumbar kyphosis (reversal of the low back curve), and mostly improve quality of life.


A lumbar or thoracic Scoliroll is used to help with lumbar scoliosis and/or thoracic scoliosis. This has been shown to help with the alignment of scoliosis, chronic low back pain, tilted posture, and improve self reported assessment of yourself.


Dennerolls are used in the office and at home to improve spinal alignment and abnormal posture for a permanent correction.


Dr. Mike Weiner uses both a cervical and lumbar Denneroll at home and in the office. This has helped him with his chronic low back pain suffered from when he had a herniated disc at 10 years of age. Ever since then, he has had chronic low back pain and 2 times a year he had radiculopathy and sciatica so bad he wouldn’t be able to move for a week. Ever since the addition of Dennerolls into his lifestyle, he never suffers from chronic low back pain, herniated disc symptoms, and radiculopathy.
