Anybody ever have this done? Made an appointment and just wondering what I have to look forward to.

^ ... it would be much cheaper and less painful if you'd just grab your ears and pull yourself out ...

just tie a couple cinder blocks to yer feet and hang from a tree or somethin...

Let me know. I am curious also.

I've been curious also... when I hurt my back I kept thinking I needed to hang upside down or something.. even if it's not a permanent fix you should feel some relief at least...

Step to the edge....

... in all seriousness, my father uses an "inversion" table or something for his back and he had been on pain meds for a number of years ... since he started using that "table" - he hasn't taken a single pill and walks, sits, sleeps pain-free now ...

... if anyone is interested, let me know and I'll get you the info on them ...

do not--repeat, do not--use an inversion table if your ceiling is LESS THAN 8' TALL.

Especially when you are home alone.

Big Chiefs last name Carradene?

^ ... why not "Spinal Tap-Out" ...

get in the deep end of the pool with a noodle, a good cigar and 2 beers. repeat daily-twice is nice

I spent almost 9 hours waiting for my wife to get home--one of the few times I was happy to see her (my ex)

^ LOL

Sounds like a Seinfeld episode.

Jade,

If you are referring to the non-surgical form, it is just a fancy, expensive form of traction...

I sure hope you are doing well.

Yeah, what RFenst said above, Jade. They just stretch you out...

BTW, you ever watch any of those movies of medieval time where people were put on the rack, and stretched out a bit? Traction is like that, but gentler

You know, even up to Colonial times in the soon-to-be United States, evil-doers would have their arms bound up and attached to draft horses going in different directions, and both their legs done the same way. Then the horses were whipped forward until the limbs came off.

But, I bet that, at the time, their back problems were insignificant...

...and I hope you see the humor in that ^, Jade.

You'll get treated better at the doctors office

I know a chick that was into that sorta stuff ^

she was hot until she took off the hood

Yikes!
