  • @HolisticSam I have a grade 1 spondylolisthesis at my L5. Will traction and lying flat on my bed with my thighs slightly elevated when I sleep help? Because I know a person who had a grade 3 spondy for over 40 years and he treated it just by traction (with improvised weights approx. 5ks) while lying in bed or standing against a wall flat. I swear to God, he's vertebra got back in place.

  • @Burnswak,

    It may, but it depends on the situation. A grade 1 isn't that uncommon, but the most important things to do involves keeping your psoas and rectus femoris at normal length, and building a LOT of strength in your glutes, external/internal obliques, and hamstrings to counter the extension at that vertebral level.

  • I have a herniated disc in my lower back and I find it extremely painful to drive or even ride in a car. Do you have any suggestions on how to relieve the pain while I'm in the car?

  • @myersl316,

    Be sure to check out a product called a "Mckenzie super roll".

  • Hey Sam, just wondering how long it takes a bulging disc to heal...its posterior lateral, compressing nerves...and causing me a lot of discomfort. I am using Mackensie's Method, sleeping with lumbar support, trying to do low impact activities, and in a sense doing everything I can. It has been almost 4 months and seen only smaallll amounts of improvement...do i need an ESI to help things along? Im tired of taking pain meds...! What do you think?

  • @shadyari1111

    here is another home unit to  check out, SPINE WORX

  • @shadyari1111

    id also like to visit with the Dr. making this video as he sounds very experienced and is quite intelligent and logical, but he is 3,000 miles away from where im at

  • @shadyari1111

    Also id like to visit a classic trained OSTEOPATH, who doesnt use Drugs or Surgery , they deal with Anatomical science , structure and Alignment . Drugs and Surgery are not the answer , except in very severe  cases where Everything else is tried 1st

    Find one in the UK

  • @AnatomicalALIGNMENT Thank You

  • @shadyari1111

    watch vids with KATHLEEN PORTER, and also check out a device on here called the NUBAX and Inversion Therapy.

    also research a Decompression home product called BODY BRIDGE and a body therapy named ROLFING .

  • @shadyari1111

    ive been learning quite alot lately, and what im learning is you have to get your body into its proper biological alignment .  Once you do that its alot easier to make the pain go away because everything inside the body anatomically is free and clear and where its supposed to be.

    One of the main reasons we both are in pain is our bodies are totally out of Alignment.

  • @AnatomicalALIGNMENT I feel sorry for you mate and I have same pain as you now you said its from 1996 so it look like we I have nothing to hope for better days :( I just have another MRI scan today here in London Royal Free Hospital, on the neck because I have the pain in my hands to and this is all to do with an car accident I had on early january 2011
