Slant board or inversion machine does wonders....what I call the leg shakers is a miracle device and nothing beats a good chiropractor....NO ONE should ever get metal braces and NO ONE should live with such spine pains....
Plants that are high in comfrey feed a starving body...BF&C, Iron, Calcium formulas are great and a multi mixture such as Mrs. Barefoot, also called welness by some supplies a shotgun mixture of high calcium/iron/mineral herbs. A great chiropractor does do wonders and there should be no fears of this problem.
I know too many that get conned into spine braces and this horrible operation does such permanent damage that could have been treated naturally by correcting the diet/pH.
