What Is It?
The Backaid is a portable tool to mobilise the tailbone and pelvis into a position, either forward or backward bearing, based on how you feel. Either position you choose will provide a therapeutic effect.

The Forward Tilt
This position on the backaid (shown above) will unload pressure off the spinal discs and assist in the lengthening of muscles from the spine into the hips.
The Backward Tilt
This position on the backaid (shown above) will unload weight off the joints at the base of the lower spine and pelvis. It will assist the hips and back into a relaxed position.
Relief For Your Back In Under 5 mins
Once you get into your chosen Backaid position, focus on deep breathing and relaxing your muscles around your device allowing your body to “melt” into it’s support.

How Does It Compare To Those Already On The Market?
The current line-up of Backaid products includes over-the-counter Backaid medication and heat therapy patches designed for pain relief.
There are also lumbar support cushions available, but many of these options lack the dual benefits that make the Backaid Device by Spinealign unique.
Unlike traditional Backaid solutions, the Backaid Device combines portability and practicality, providing targeted support wherever you need it while helping you manage back discomfort more effectively.
Can It Be Used for Sciatica Pain?
Yes. The Backaid Device may help relieve sciatica discomfort by supporting a better position for the pelvis and tailbone.
By helping to reduce pressure on the lower back, the Backaid can assist in taking stress away from the sciatic nerve, which may help ease irritation associated with sciatica pain.
In addition, the targeted support provided by Backaid applies gentle pressure to the soft tissues surrounding the tailbone, an area often linked with sciatica symptoms.
With its practical design, the Backaid Device offers a simple way to support the lower back, pelvis, and surrounding areas during daily activities.

Author’s Note
“I have personally designed and had manufactured this unique product to serve the purpose of alleviating pressure off the spine, to help limit or delay spine degeneration.
I have been in spine analysis and posture mechanics for over 10 years and I see a common pattern, a trend that we are all linked by. We work hard and congest our life with various activities that as a byproduct, bring stress and tension which unless eliminated, build up in the body like a kind of ‘pressure canister’ – which, then serves as the predisposition for most physical issues we experience i.e. back pain.
I want this Backaid product to be served as a tool for ‘releasing pressure’ that builds up in our body, thus reducing the risk and likelihood of problems arising”.
