Question
I was told by a chiropracter to use a rolled towel to give my neck the curve I need I had a whiplash about 12 years ago - car accident. My neck is very weak and there is discomfort that I am beginning to notice more often. I sleep on my back. Is this what I need?

Answer

Original McKenzie Cervical Roll will certainly work better than a rolled up towel.  Additionally, you may also wish to consider looking at Therapeutica Pillows, item# 101ICIMM and Perfect Rest Pillow, item# 652ROCMM.

Question
I am 74 years old and my shoulders are getting very slumped and I'm getting a humped look to the top of my shoulders. Will this help correct that?

Answer

 Dear Ms. Fannin:

Thank you for your inquiry.  Dorsal Vest will certainly help your posture when it is worn.  Since these types of devices oppose the bodys natural tendencies, it may take some time to get accustomed to wearing a vest.  Please consult with a chiropractor or your physician about a regiment for wearing a dorsal vest.

Question
I am trying to find nail clippers or something in that direction to remove skin tags. A new, sterile large nail clipper seems to be the item of choice but I was hoping to find something that would more easily cut exactly flush or slightly below the surface. Obviously a very sharp implement with sufficient leverage for single step removal would be preferred.Thanks

Answer

For this procedure, it seems that the scissors of choice would be Iris Scissors which come in curved or straight models.

It is also recommended that you hold the skin tag while cutting with a pair of forceps.
