Spinal Research

Spinal Research:

The following are his findings. Dr. James Kellogg has done this at his expense and on his time:

Bill,

Finally, here are the lost c-arm x-rays that I did last june ’98.

M1, M2, and M3 are neutral shots of myron - note the natural wedge-shaped disc spaces. My, M5 + M6 are inverted shots of Myron on The Back Revolution hanging straight down - note the parallel end plates.

This indicated the effect of traction on the disc space, as you can see the narrowed wedge end is at the IVF causing stenosis. During traction that narrowed wedging is removed and the IVF is greater in size thus reducing the stenosis about the nerve root as it exits the spine.

Bill, you now have radiographic evidence showing that the two different methods of inverting on The Back Revolution, can produce two different effects ont he spine, both beneficial to anyone with a spine. The hang over the upper edge method with my radiographs indicate facet relief and the thigh pad hang indicates disc and IVF relief as seen on Myron’s radiographs.

Another technique utilizing nerve mobilization may be accomplished on the Back Revolution through stretching techniques, check with Mr. Anderson about that.
