Does hanging fix torn rotor cuffs or snapped ligaments? thought not.

Of course, hanging would not work with a completely snapped ligament, or a completely torn rotator cuff, but Dr. Kirsch explains that it has greatly helped many with partial tears.

The MRI showed a bulging disc, with a pinched nerve. I go 2x/mo to a licensed masseuse, and she works the neck/shoulder to isolate the nerve, and is awesome in knowing what/how to do the right thing. I’ll ask her about “The Hanging”, on my next 30min session. Many thanks!

Well, I didn’t state it very well. THAT on was free. I had company insurance with full coverage. And no deductible. That was BEFORE Obamacare. :)

Meanwhile, I fell backwards down a staircase last saturday and there was a lot of pain so I went to the chiropractor yesterday. Turns out I have an abnormally tough skeleton (big bones and joints) and there was no damage. Only pulled muscles. And at age 66 I was surprised I was not broken in half or something.

But we prayed immediately after it happened. And my wife has two miraculous healings after we prayed over the problems (just the two of us).

Got it, cuban leaf. Man, sounds like quite a spill! Thank God you're tough, and have an angel looking over your shoulder. And great to hear the power of prayer at work!

it’s perfect for permanent elimination of pain...

Nice!

I think it really did!

Funny...my beloved yellow cat (who I had to put down a few months back) would hear me go into the garage, and as soon as I was inverted, like clockwork, he would come in and begin circling me like some kind of Shark of Love...

Cats like to be at face level, so...there I was with my face near the ground, and I was also a captive audience for eight minutes...he would walk around and around rubbing his head against mine and purring like mad the entire time.

I readily admit that did find it kind of charming...

“That can only be fixed with surgery.”

Nasty malicious man-hater at the VA told me they wouldn’t operate because of my diabetes and other infirmities.

I bought one through Wallyworld and sounds like the same table. Originally I pulled my back out in High School lifting weights 50+ years ago. Once is a while something pops and I cannot stand up with severe pain. Hanging upside down I feel something pop like your knuckle pops and then it feels better.

For shoulder pain I take Glucosamine. Before taking that I could not raise my arms.

Good info, oldasrocks. Thanks!

What about hanging upside down on a Teeter gadget”

Is there a book, I only see a kindle.

I only see a Kindle too (for the most recent 5th Edition). I recommend you get the newest though. Per Dr. Kirsch, it has been both expanded and simplified from earlier editions.

Thanks for the info. I think I might need to see it first hand.

[dsc]

Thanks. I think I will buy the book.

Partial tears keep on tearing until there is nothing left to tear, leaving the patient without use of that arm. Quackery

I got an inversion table about ten years ago. Made my back feel pretty good.
But I have cats.
And long hair.
Every time I’d flip over, the cats decided that it was time to play with my hair.

Some great stuff here, BeauBo, are you a ballroom dancer, in the health field, or what? Some additional comments...

...externally rotate your arms fully (palms up)...

I am not able to rotate the hand of my injured shoulder more than 3/4 up.

And then this next part I don't understand where you're saying to stretch:

Then rotate your upper torso 90 degrees without turning your hips or head, so your arms would be stretched front to back, rather than side to side. In that position, stretch/pull/reach/twist to improve reach of each element of the position at the same time time...

Sure thing, carriage_hill. Hope it works out. I'd be curious to know.

Cute. Cat sounds like a real attention w— ! :)

Sounds like you may have a good alternative here.

Couldn't hurt!

You're welcome, dsc. Check Dr. Kirsch's book and website

True. Jeffrey Epstein's shoulder and back aren't bothering him a bit now.
