Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Has anyone tried a zero gravity/anti gravity chair? I am not trying to sell them or anything, lol, I just wanted to share my exp with them in the hopes someone else can get some pain relief. I LOVE my zero gravity chair!! I did some research on them and was going to buy a LaFuma (which is the " budget " priced one for $129). Well I had to go to the hardware store to make keys and they had one on display there! I tried it out and almost immediately my leg pain was way down! It was on sale for $35!! It's not a LaFuma, but the design is identical and it works soooo good! The other day I was having miserable back pain so I sat on my chair and within 5 minutes my pain had dropped drastically! Unfournately when I got up the pain came back but not quite as intense. I talked to my PT about these chairs and she said they are great, another form of traction and are nice because then the patient can use them a few times a day and really benefit from traction versus going to PT 2x week for 10 minutes of traction. If anyone has any questions about these chairs or need some links to look at them just let me know, I had done quite a bit of research on them. I'm including an expert from the Chronic Pain Connection about the chairs as well. Wishing for pain free days for all of us! HUgs, Expert from Chronic Pain Connections: One of my favorite tools against aching, all-over pain is the zero- gravity chair. In fact, I cried when I tried it because for the first time my pain melted down a couple notches. Time and time again, patients try the zero-gravity chair in my office and fall in love. The key is your body's position that minimizes the effects of gravity. Your back is parallel to the floor and the hips are bent with the knees supported above your chest. It is the same position the astronauts are in before blast off. No ordinary recliner will do because the hips and knees must be bent to place the knees above the chest which releases muscle tension. This mimics an all time favorite position for most people with back pain-the fetal position. Ahhh... now that spells relief in a pain pinch. For the budget minded, a LaFuma chair is the way to go, plus it is portable. Amazon carries this patio recliner, but many knock-offs exist. Even the local hardware store might have one. For the investment in your future of feeling better, the " Perfect Chair " is the best design. Available at the Relax the Back store, this chair really takes the weight off the sensitive spine. Find a store and try one of the zero-gravity chairs for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hi , My pain doctor told me that 3 epidurals a year were max. because the corticosteroids softened the bone. I've also read that injected corticosteroids can cause tendons to rupture, which is probably why the 2nd time the ortho injected my right rotator cuff, he hardly used any cortisone. I was so disappointed. As well oral corticosteroids are known to cause osteoporosis. I would say the doctor is right about this point. And since most likely, none of us, (except for me!), live near his office, I don't think he'd be expecting any visits or fees from us. And he does not seem to be selling a product. However, I may be wrong, but the extent of his advice may be to direct us to another Chiropractor. (There are those among us who do go to Chiros). Perhaps he could enlighten us as to his reasons for joining the group. Rochelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 , ask your doctor how many epidurals you can take in one area. I appologise for making you feel funny I am not a comedian but have 12 years experience with helping people with back and neck problems with success rates in excess of 90 percent. I am selling nothing and have nothing to gain. The purppouse of the web site is for you to see that a spine can change. This is the if not the only real way to propperly correct sequential alignment thus reducing nerve pressure. I take my time out of a very buisy schedule to offer sound truth. If I am not correct in anything that I have stated I will look into it and double check.
