Agreed about not all pain is exactly the same but both the dr. And chiropractor
Said sooner or later you will have issues with repetitive motion....gotta change your motion
Zipper or rotary will solve this....
Do the math....only one 2 hour job could be at least 1000 strokes on the wand....
Challenge to add up your wand strokes on one room...it is around 100 +
A car axle won't last 27 years.......

Same here...I was doing naked cartwheels out the door...
Having never been through a colonoscopy I had an idea of how I was to be positioned for the procedure but I was wrong! :eekk: :biggrin: The doctor and nurse's nearly shit themselves as I switched tables and began to lay belly down. :lol:

I never knew you were supposed to be on your side.:redface:

Maybe that had something to do with "don't come back for 10-years". ??? :winky:

Just making sure......

Some of this stuff is pretty scary.

you have no idea...I really can't tell you what was more scary.. the knowledge that some Dr running a camera all the way up to my heart to make sure everything was Ok...or that huge German woman from Helga's house of pain prepping me and getting me ready...........another 5 minutes with her and I probably would of had heart problems........

I started weight training a year ago. Just basic standing military press, curls, bench press and squats.
Took about a year and I have no more lower back pain. It was always on my left side and spasm.
And with weight training I've lost weight. Younger women stare at me in public , because they are catching me stare at them. Added benefit of higher male hormone levels.

I had been having pinching lower back pain for a while and my chiro fix never lasted. I purchases a Teeter inversion table and started using it twice a day. More I used it the longer I hung upside down, after a few weeks my pain was gone and it is still gone . I now only invert once a day for a few minutes. Best $350 investment I ever made.

Agree with Marty .
I used an inversion table for my back , didn't help much , but it can sure jerk
Ankles and knee joints if you don't wach it.
Chiropractor is safer using a decompression table and it works.

I don't know who's loosing it. It may be me, but in my count it took him three days.
Could it be that things take longer here in CA?

I just had a serious reality check today. Coming down the stairs carrying the CRB it happened. pulled out my back my back tightened up hard to breathe hard to walk. thankfully my son was on the truck with me finished up the job and did the next one.
I'm at sfs next week so it will have time to heel. Time to get in shape. if I was the lone wolf cleaner I would have been screwed today. Pulled my back many times but this was the first time in my life I was not able to work through it, scary.

at 51 my back is better than when i was 25. they wanted to do exploratory surgery but they couldn't guarantee results so i passed. been seeing chiropractors and massage therapists since.

about 12 years ago i rolled a bronco II down a hill and wasnt seat belted in. i guess i knocked a rib out of my spine and dint know it. for over a year every time my shoulder got bumped i would get a paralyzing pain through my body. at one trip to a new chiropractor he got me into a funky position and set the rib back into my spine. i laid on the table for several minutes unable to breath or move. it took at least a year to fully heal and for the muscles to stop cramping between the ribs.

ive had the groin probed too. thats how they fixed my heart problem. went in both sides with probes and burned tissue that was causing my heart beat to race and slow down and pretty much never beat right. it tooks weeks for that heal and the bruising to go away. that was 11 years ago.

carpet cleaning has been a savior for my health. its one of the main reasons i started this business 10 years ago. i lost 40 lbs the first year and 180 the 2nd! life just keeps getting better!!!
