If I was to highlight the top rehab products:

integrity of ligaments/tendons.

3.            Ligaplex I (acute cases)- contains 40% Manganese. And with any spinal disease there maybe need for additional Manganese.

4.            Boswellia Complex–from the Medi-Herb line of supplements, an herbal anti-inflammatory combination(boswellia, celery seed, ginger, turmeric). Does not have the liver/kidney/GI side effects of NSAIDs. Note:MUST BE GIVEN WITH FOOD AND SOME FAT. These ingredients are fat soluble, so add some butter, oil or fatty acids to the dosing. Also, Boswellia needs 5 times the dose to get the same effect if given on an empty stomach.
