Subject: Re: Thursday Chat 08.02.12 by TommyT-Bone on 2012/8/2 19:54:43 I have used chiroprcatic services many times over the years. I gave it a good solid effort but my back problem is chronic. I tried back specialists, acupuncture and chiropractic. The back doctor prescribed physical therapy for 6 to 8 weeks.(Drugs would have been nice) That was difficult but helpful. I just didn't keep up the exercise routines, nor was I likely to. The acupuncturist did wonders. Crawled in twice, walked out twice. Like chiropractic, they would like you to come for at least several visits. Many treatments require a lifestyle change. My family MD even sugggested I change careers. Ahh... No Doc. The job I had paid the bills and provided me with the medical insurance so that I could afford to see him. That career now supplies me with a monthly stipend. Excercise is important to keep the muscle groups strong. You do not want to exercise to the point you are causing further injury. Take care of your back Matt and it will tale care of you. You too may have some hope in bed. I took a nice long nap this afternoon. One of those naps that I couldn't sleep anymore, so I finally got up. I feel refreshed now. The past few days I was kinda run down. Hot summer days tend to do that to me. Time to start dinner. Where did the day go? ....  |
