Question

What is the name of the machine that chiropractors are using to avoid back surgery?

Answer 1

I call it the rack!!! =)....but I believe it is called a back extension machine.  It pulls the vertebrae and allows the disks to fall back into the normal position.  It supposedly helps with bulging disks.  I have personally used one of these machines when I was in physical therapy for a ruptured and bulging disk.  I suppose it worked....I still have pain, but not as bad.

Answer 2

they use different forms of traction, which does stretch the spine and TEMPORARILY relieves pressure.

They use a variety of vibrating gadgets as well.

No chiropractic treatment can prevent surgery if you have an actual surgical condition, such as a severely herniated disc.

Their most important machine is the credit card swiper.

Answer 3

I believe its called a Spinal Decompression Unit.  It is similar to a Medieval rack but very gentle.  It has an 86% success rate.
