Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 Anyone have a cervical traction unit for sale. Used pantheon microcurrent machine? And related to this subject, Alon tells me that cervical injuries do not seem to get faster any better using alternative therapies. Exercise and traction works best. I am particularly interested in the use of herbs to help. At PCOM, we use potent liniments applied wet, covered with plastic and a hot pack. I have found these liniments with microcurrent seem to help even when acupuncture and internal herbs seem ineffective. In other words, the results are lasting and progressive, not just palliative. Other experiences with this? Alon says the AAOM will soon begin examining and awarding board certification in physical med. I hope external herbs will be part of this.

Other experiences with this? >>>>>Can you give more info on how you use the " micro current " with the herbs. What are in the potent liniments? And again to make it clear, in my experience and opinion many alternative therapies are great for neck injuries, however, when there is a clear nuclear redicular interaction they do not, in my experience with hundreds of patients. You can make the patient feel better but the recovery time is usually the same as the natural course without treatment This is true also for disc fissures. Other type lesions do very well.
