Instant Sciatica Relief, but...
First of all, let me say that I have a debilitating case of sciatica that literally takes me down for 2 weeks about twice a year. I decided to try to do something about it this time, so I ordered Dr. Dorsey's Sit and Decompress with some skepticism. When it arrived, I immediately set it up and strapped in, set the timer for 3 minutes and decompressed. Before I gave it a try, I could barely walk, but after 3 minutes I was AMAZED! No pain whatsoever and I could walk with ease! I did it again about an hour later and then once again this morning. I am very happy to report that after only three times decompressing, I am walking with little effort. I still have a slight pain on my left side, but absolutely nothing like it was before I started. I will continue decompressing at least once a day hopefully for the rest of my life. I'm knocking off a star for the following reasons:
1. I paid for 2 day shipping, but it took 7 days to arrive. I contacted Mr. Dorsey's company, and he refunded my postage, which was a plus financially, but did nothing for my pain.
2. I think it would be better if the straps were color coded (at least the ends) to avoid confusion.
3. The setup instructions really suck. In order to correctly install the device, you must have access to the Internet and go to their site to watch the video, otherwise you may incorrectly install it, which could result in injury. I know most people have access to the Internet, but what if you don't? Please spend more time and effort designing the setup instructions.
Other than that, this device is doing exactly as advertised. Thank you Dr. Dorsey!
