Need Help --- Bone Spurs on Neck Vertebrae

[Guest guest]

Hello--

 

Can anyone offer advice/solutions to the problem I am having?

 

I have bone spurs on 3 of the vertebra in my neck.

 

These bone spurs are pressing on my spinal cord and cause migraines,

pain in my shoulder, numbness and tingling in arms/hands, and neck

pain that is like a migraine in my neck. Every day, I have some sort

of pain.

 

The only option I've been given by traditional Western medicine is

surgery to remove the spurs. I don't want to go this route, because

since it involves my spinal cord, there is a risk of paralysis.

 

Does anyone know of any alternative treatments to dissolve bone spurs

that really work?

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi Jeff. I belong to a list called the Crock-Lakhovsky list at .

This group was started by a man that had almost the exact same problem you

are having, and he " cured " his pain with the Lakhovsky coil rather than deal

with surgery. The coil is simple to make. Normally most members (me

included) wear a coil around our waist, but Bob--the list owner--made his

for his neck because that is what hurt him so badly. For the waist we use a

single strand number 10 gauge copper insulated wire. You cut a piece (you

can get it at any hardware store) that fits your waist PLUS 5 inches or so

for overlap. Then all you do is wrap the wire around your waist and overlap

the ends so that they lay NEXT to each other, NOT touching each other which

would make a closed circle. You don't want a closed circle with ends

touching--you want a " coil " or open loop with the ends laying next to the

other side of the wire. To keep the ends in place so they don't poke you,

you can just tape the ends to the part of the wire it's laying next to. For

the neck coil, because number 10 wire is too big in diameter to hide under

his shirt, Bob bought number 12 gauge wire. Though the number is bigger the

wire itself is smaller in diameter. You still want to overlap the ends (but

you don't need a 5 inch overlap on the neck, 2 or 3 is enough), but because

it's on your neck and not getting twisted around as much as it does on your

waist, you don't need to tape the ends together unless they are poking you

in the neck.

 

You could join the group and get some great advice from Bob on how he solved

his problem--but he's just leaving tomorrow for a 2 week trip and won't be

on line hardly at all. There are other people there though, with many years

experience with these coils that can help you till Bob gets back.

 

This is such a simple method for relieving any pain I believe it's totally

worth a try. There are other things you can do that will also work--a

chiropractor, get the book Pain Free by Pete Egoscue (it will explain

everything you need to do with simple body stretches to relieve this pain)

and I'm sure others on the list will have more great ideas. But I have

found the coil to be such a surprising and powerful little gizmo, that's so

cheap, it's certainly worth a try. My wire at my local hardware store only

cost 34 cents a foot so for a couple of bucks I made a coil and it has taken

ALL my shoulder tension and pain away in a matter of 2 days.

 

Good luck

Renee
