Gel products reviews

I have now received the gel insoles mentioned in the last blog and expect delivery of the ergonomic chair over the forth coming days. The bed is still some 4 to 5 weeks away.

You can keep up with my evaluation of these products by looking at the on-going review blogs that I have set up for them at:

http://my-ergonomic-office-chair.blogspot.com
http://gel-insoles.blogspot.com
http://gel-beds.blogspot.com

Naturally, the blogs will become more active once I am in possession of all of the products.

As these products are all prompted in some way by my on-going back problems, and my efforts to alleviate them, I should also point out that I am also seeing a chiropractor with a view to sorting out the mechanical problems with my spine, hips (and “apparently” other parts of my structural anatomy).

The moral to all of this is simply that, when you think that you have a physical problem, go and see an appropriate specialist immediately. Do not wait 4 years, get a back assessment followed by some physiotherapy and, when that does not work, “try to live with it”. The problem gets worse and worse until, like me, you become compelled to do something after long term damage has occurred.

I had an accident which clearly did some damage and I have been too slow in my efforts to find a suitable specialist to resolve the injury. This becomes nothing short of ridiculous when you look at the number and variety of therapies and treatments available ranging from osteopaths and chiropractors to the more alternative treatments like acupuncture.

All of these therapies have a place and it is a question of deciding which one works for you, and then giving it a try.
