This article was written by Moreno Conte, the founder of the Italian Starecta spine straightening method. He really understands what he is writing about, because he knows about all the “delights” of lumbar lordosis firsthand and cured him on his own. His approach is unusual for the perception of traditional medicine, but, nevertheless, much more effective than all the methods that many of us have tried before. Further, the story will be conducted in the first person.
Tired of suffering from your painful lumbar lordosis? I know very well that this causes you incessant, unpleasant pain, especially in the lower back. Pain that affects you from the early morning, as soon as you wake up, until the evening, when you touch the bed. This prevents you from living life to the fullest and participating on an equal footing with others. Those who suffer from lumbar lordosis cannot sit for a long time in a chair, and cannot stand for a long time. Thus, their productivity, concentration and ability to effectively carry out life tasks are reduced. When there is too much pain, it steadily pushes in a horizontal position towards idleness.
Also, this “curve” so noticeable is really terrible when you look at it while standing in front of a mirror. I bet you do this a lot – standing in front of a mirror and looking at your lumbar lordosis, trying to straighten up to recreate the normal curve of your lower back. And you have to look at this ugly curve every day, forcing the stomach to fall forward! When you are on the beach, watching the kissing couples, you have to put on a T-shirt and hide under an umbrella. And this is the bitter truth! In addition, significant lumbar lordosis has other biomechanical consequences for your body: problems with intervertebral discs, enlarged prostate gland, difficulty urinating, difficulty with erections, and problems during sex.
That is why you started looking for a remedy that would help you solve this problem. Not the usual banal treatment or osteopathy or manual therapy, which you, for sure, have already resorted to more than once, and they did not help. You are looking for a treatment that really makes your back feel stretched. Treatment that is radically different from what you have tried so far. I can assure you that your search has come to an end. In the report below, I will show you a biomechanical solution that can handle your problem. This decision works at the core of your postural biomechanism.
Plus, you’ll understand why your lumbar lordosis is so painful and so severe. Many people live with lumbar lordosis for many years, get used to it, stop thinking about it, which, in fact, is a “disabling worsening”. Most medical specialists have no idea how to treat this problem. Many of them are convinced that treatment should not be seen as a solution to a problem, but as a means of maintaining existence. Often times you are sent to the pool for the rest of your life. And some doctors go so far as to ask you to thank God that you were not born blind. And none of these methods solve the problem of lumbar lordosis!
I bet you have tried all of these useless strategies before finding this report:
Massages: You have tried them many times and you know that other than a pleasant temporary relief, they are not critical.
Sessions with an osteopath and a chiropractor: These sessions are, at best, effective for a short period, otherwise they are completely useless. In both cases, they do not solve the problem for long.
Yoga, Pilates: Excellent disciplines, but essentially only suitable for those with a straight back.
Assistive devices and corsets: useless without options.
Pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs: Ineffective and have serious side effects.
Corrective gymnastics and swimming: in your case, do more harm than good (due to the creation of muscle compensations and their consolidation – you can read more in this chapter of Moreno Conte’s book “How I Straightened My Spine”).
Psychologist: You were told that this is a psychological problem, and therefore you went through psychotherapy sessions, but without success.
Now is the time to talk about the real solution to the problem, and it is biomechanical! I also had this terrible problem that plagued me all day, but I won in the end! I used a method that later became known as the Starecta method. To date, he has successfully resolved many cases of lumbar lordosis in many people. In fact, the method is based on a simple but innovative idea. Now read carefully to see how this can help you.
How the biomechanical method solves the problem of lumbar lordosis
The postural condition in which I was, and which you can see in the first photo, in addition to constant pain, also caused me serious digestive problems. In a word, life has become impossible for me! This is why I had to find a solution to this problem that was really worthwhile. I managed to do it! This is how the method I called Starecta was born.
What is the essence of the method that saved my life? First of all, you should know that your back is supported not by your legs, but by your teeth! This is due to the height of the molars at the back of the jaw, which allows the head to be kept in a straight position, stretching and holding the spine in that position.
The skull-to-jaw ratio is the point in our postural biomechanism that we can manipulate to naturally straighten our back. This is how your lumbar lordosis is stretched, released from all intervertebral compressions and muscle squeezes that cause severe disturbing pain. If you want to better understand this mechanism, you can read about the scientific evidence for the effect of bite on the spine.
To effectively act on the spine through the stomatognathic system, we need a tool called the Rectifier. Rectifier is a dental splint, which, due to some of its characteristics, is the only one in the world (protected by an international license) capable of acting in the recognized biomechanism. These characteristics are as follows:
1) the height created by the Rectifier in the area of the large and small molars is necessary in order to push the skull up;
2) the extension of the lower jaw is necessary in order to push the skull backward due to the “lever” effect;
3) centering of the lower jaw is necessary to achieve symmetry of the face and body;
4) the bumps and grooves (dental prints) are necessary for the transmission of neuromuscular signals to the body.
The Rectifier balances your body in a natural way, which helps to permanently address the troubling postural problems I had and managed to overcome. The biomechanical approach precisely through the effect on the stomatognathic system allows you to stretch even the accentuated lumbar lordosis and bring the lower back to a natural physiological bend – just like in my case!
