Hold on...Recent posts about the Giger device

[Guest guest]

About the recent posts on the Giger spinal device, I have to say;

Now hold on...

I don't think that device claims to cure SCI as implied by the posts.

ly, I've never heard of it. But it has been well documented (especially in

the last 11 years) that physiotherapy and " entraining " maneuvers WILL (not

maybe, but WILL) improve SCI outcomes as determined by both motor and sensory

functional recovery. This device appears to me to provide entraining maneuvers.

That's only my opinion since I have not explored it in full.

Often times, Cybex machines are employed, but there are now a host of others

available (and less expensive ones) that pretty much do the same things. Also,

what works for some SCI patients doesn't work for others. This 'Giger' device

could be one of those devices.

I don't know.

But for in NH to say " ...what a total piece of BS. " I presume is at

best an opinion, and at worst ignorant and misguided advice that might exclude a

particular therapy for an SCI patient. Like all other therapies, it should be

explored thoroughly before rendering an opinion.

That the website is made by Microsoft Front Page, I say, " So what? "

I agree that it's not a pretty website, but what does that have to do with the

product? If you're implying that it MUST be a scam because it's not

professionally made, I'll tell you that only last week I read that MOST scams

use slick and 'professionally built' websites aimed at maximizing their look and

feel.

So, like everything else, educate yourself about what your condition is, what

you need, and what's available out there.
