Guest guest Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I'm going to see what he says, and yes a lift " could " do the job...don't know..would an ortho doc do the lift or just buy one and see how it goes...he uses a decompression table and if spinal stenosis is what it is, the decompression would work to opening the narrowing.....and SS is narrowing of the spine canal... ________________________________ To: DimethylSulfoxide-DMSO Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2012 12:27 PM Subject: Re: Fw: [spinal Disorders Support] Fw: Good Grief, someone understands it  Sounds as if he is on to something.
