This machine is saving me from having to undergo back surgery. I am halfway done with my treatments on it and my back pain is about 75% better. If you look closely at the picture you can see that the lady has a belt around her waist with a tether that attaches to the machine. The belt tightens and releases over and over again to cause spinal decompression specifically on the disc with the herniation. The decompression allows fluid to go back into the disc. Over time the disc gets re-hydrated and isn’t herniated anymore. It is really working! (I have some pain now, but I think it is from the long car ride today to Orlando and back home again.) Oh yeah, while the 25 minute treatment is going on, I get to watch a DVD on the video monitor. I look forward to watching an uninterrupted “Everybody Loves Raymond” every afternoon! (I know, I know, my life is THAT pathetic!)
I am glad to hear that it is helping…. and hey I love that show!
