Dead Physician
This retired physician used traction to ease the pain resulting from his neck problems. Autopsy revealed he had a bad heart. There was no reason to believe he committed suicide. click pic to view larger image |

Re: Dead Physician
Yes.....note the head tilted forward a little in first image blood follows gravitational pull b/c heart stopped pumping. Without the traction blood would pool in the lower extremities. |

Re: Dead Physician
Hey Rancid- Along the spinal cord, there are nerve roots that grow out from the main cord and pass between the vertebra. By applying traction, the vertebra are stretched apart, thereby relieving a pinched nerve. Wahlah! I have an inverse table that gives complete spinal traction. You can hang upside down if you wanted to...but I don't! My hubby has done it though, haha. I pre-set the the table to have my head maybe a foot lower than my feet (which are clamped in this cool ankle/foot cushioned grip thing). Teeter Hang Up http://www.teeter-inversion.com/ |
