re the back machine update i have a back machine and have had one since january while i have not found it to be a panacea for my back pain i think it has helped somewhat it mainly acts to stretch muscles in the back and prevent spasms associated with pain i am taking less pain medication than i was previously the folks at back technologies are very reluctant to honor their return policy they extended my warranty period rather than allow me to return the machine when after the first month or so i was not thrilled with it they encouraged me to continue to use it abeit less vigourously like i said i can t say it is a cure all but it keeps me stretched out and i am in less pain dale m webb dvm phd of the body is water the veterinary diagnostic center other keeps you from drowning university of nebraska lincoln
