It actually looks a lot like spinal halo-gravity traction which is a modern treatment for childhood scoliosis.
My spine is pretty messed up and this actually looks kind of relaxing/nice for relieving pressure. Is Dr. Clark still offering these apparatuses?
You can sign up for suspension therapy. It's copay but by aunt did it for years to treat her back problems. It's not like this where you're upright, but you're held up on your
side(EDIT: any prone-oriented position) by slings that raise and lower your hip, lumbar, shoulders, and legs at different angles to get your spine to lean into the "straight" orientation in the lateral direction.P.S. never go to Chiropractors. Look for certified physical therapists.
That honestly sounds amazing. I'll look it up, thank you.
I think lady gaga wore this.
there was a news story (in the u.s.) while back about someone putting their child into a full-body DIY back brace to ''fix her posture'' or whatever and caused her injuries and it turned into a custody dispute to get her out of there... could be apocryphal, don't have a link
I remember that - it was a few years back, I'll see if I can find the link.
What, no electricity, radium, or morphine? No wonder it was ineffective.
