Hello,
Without doctor advice better don't use this device. In case of spinal compression or neuropathy pain may be relieved but please consult your orthopedician/neurosurgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
