Boban1: ah, see ... In my country,I don`t know about the rest of the world,Chiropractors are not recognized by the official medicine ( I hope that came out right)
We use them in conjunction with conventional medicine here. Some doctors surgeries now have chiropractors surgeries there too. They refer people to each other. We often have spineologists too and a lot of people use them. When all that fails, they come to me.

I thought that by hanging from my legs it allowed my back muscles to be loose, if you hang from your arms your back muscles are tight (not that I remember trying that)

That could do untold damage, IF you could straighten up enough to stretch up to the top of a door, in the first place, without passing out from the pain.

haaa I just had a thought if you go to the doctors via the kids play park you could try it on the way
GingerBe: What you did would have had the same effect as traction. It does work for some, depending on what was wrong in the first place. Glad you were able to fix it.

I've done it a few times, so have friends of mine, ex partner was physiotherapist and got me to do that and it worked no worries, the mussels get knotted and it stitch's them back out each to there own
