Chiropractors? Do you really want to trust your body and your health to a person that didn't have the grades to get into a regular medical school?
I've been dying of a back ache, do the gel cushions help?

Seen these on Amazon, thought about getting one myself. The standard truck seat cushions don’t last to long
silverspur Thanks this. -
Two of my neighbors did that. Went to Thailand to a condo complex where most living there are older guys from the USA drawing Social Security and some also have a smaller pension from where they worked. They get room service like in a hotel and there's a medical clinic in the building, plus a restaurant.
I don't know the name of the place.
Edit: Another friend of mine, retired 0/0 from Alaska, moved to Vietnam to a similar place as those that went to Thailand. Has the room service, restaurant, medical clinic, recreation room where he plays pool almost every day. The complex is also beachfront.Last edited: Sep 2, 2024
The_vett and silverspur Thank this. -
I can at 68 , actually easier than pull-ups. I've had both arms broken when I was 17 . I've got 2 plates in right arm , had a car fall on me got busted up pretty good. I guess because of that the chin-ups are easier on me. I can't do many ,but I can still do some.The_vett, Flat Earth Trucker, TripleSix and 1 other person Thank this.

Im sorry i didnt elaborate on that:its a chin up bar not used to do chin ups.instead there is a belt hanging from it that goes around a person chest and allows the lower body to be suspended in the air decompressing the spine using just gravity,kind of the opposite of an inversion table which is very uncomfortable.
I think they sell it in amazon now,TripleSix and silverspur Thank this. -
I did but I know there's some quacks practicing it. I literally couldn't stand up a little over a year ago. It's a scary feeling. Sciatica aint no joke. I've never had pain like that before or since and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Chiropractor got me back in great shape along with a lot of physical therapy. 6 months of it actually. I couldn't even move to attempt physical therapy before several adjustments from my chiropractor. I feel like it saved my life because I was to the point I didn't what I was going to do anymore. It's a helpless feeling.

The benefit of the chin-up bar comes from hanging, not pulling yourself up, on the bar.The_vett Thanks this.

I had some problems with sciatic pain going down my leg. Seems vitamin B and D help a lot

It most certainly is a terrible pain. Wife and I were in Pigeon Forge for granddaughters birthday. I had helped a friend roll some big pieces of logs around to a splitter the day before. Was a little sore night before, next morning it took me over a hour to get dressed with the wife's help. Got to a walk in clinic and thank goodness the Doctor had suffered from sciatica himself. Gave me a shot and pack of steroids he sent this info to my Doctor at home in Georgia because it took 2 more spots to get back to normal. I was down for over a month. You're correct, I wouldn't wish this stuff on my worst enemy.rollin coal Thanks this.

I understand what he meant. Was just asking if he could do a chin up.88 Alpha, Flat Earth Trucker and tscottme Thank this.
