Ive heard of and experienced healing while reading the Bible out loud so definately do that every day. I had neck pain so bad I could only sleep on my back many nights and it vanished while I was reading the Bible out loud. I felt so much stronger my bones , joints and every thing. You can look up healing scriptures on utube or maybe all the Bible is healing I don't know. 😉

It happened to my dad almost 2 months ago
I was doing bear crawls and twisted my back a weird way and a jolt went through my whole body and I immediately got scared. It’s been 3 days and I have tightness just below my thoracic spine but no really bad pain, also I’m getting tingles in my extremities which cause my hands to shake. I hope this will heal overtime and not lead to a more serious problem down the line. I’m also 22.

I had an SCI, I went from active and being able to lift loads of boxes, to barely being able to walk without immense pain. SCI is no joke, the doctors said I needed surgery. I didn’t go through with it because I’m young and doctors didn’t even give me the percentage of people who get paralyzed from the waist down after the surgery. I almost gave up hope, that was until I found out about inversion tables, it helped me heal almost completely after 2 months of use. The inversion table helped ease the pressure of gravity on my nerves and the spinal cord, it helped my spine to heal. Now I’m about 99% better than I used to be, you guys should look into getting an inversion table if you suffer from a herniated disk. Highly recommend it in fact, it saved my life tbh.

so, at the end of all this, you say you had a herniated disk, if i understand correctly a herniated disk is not SCI and if you truly have SCI, an inversion table can only make it worse

Don't do faulty physiotherapy. They damage your more than you can imagine. Experience.
Asparagus:" hold my cells"
I have a bad C5-C6 extrusion from a car accident and after a stressful moment I couldn't control my limbs. I told the paramedic guy but he had no compassion and kept pushing on my sternum which was really painful at that time. I also experienced incontinence and extreme nerve pain and when my nerves where distended I started having "schizoaffective symptoms" but they didnt connected it to my neck injuries. They said it was genetic because my mom was diagnosed with that but I never had symptoms like that before the car accident.
