Guest guest Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Here's another approach: When dealing with muscles, go to the health professionals having from 500-1000 hours of hands-on training in dealing with muscular disfunctions. Find an advanced myo/massage therapist who practices neuromuscular reeducation. They can rebalance the muscle systems to normalcy. Neuromuscular therapy is a hands-on, anatomically/physiology based, results-oriented massage therapy specialty. It is one of the few forms of massage used in rehabilitation. Often used in whiplash/auto injuries, fall impacts, frozen shoulders, tennis elbow, carpel tunnel, repetitive motion syndrome, sciatic impingement, etc. with positive results. -richard. l.m.t.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I was wondering....do you agree with the chiropractor who is gentle or ruff? and do you always have any x-rays before you let them do adjustments...especially if you know that there is something wrong in the neck area? Landies <EBLandies wrote: Has he seen a chiropractor? Whenever my second cervical vertebrae goes 'out' I get pain in my left shoulder and in between my shoulder blades, due to the pull on my trapezius. A chiropractic adjustment usually relieves the pain in a matter of minutes. Hope this helps, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I would say that a good chiro needs to know when it is appropriate to use a gentle touch and when more force is needed. Personally, I hold an adjustment better when traditional methods are used instead of that little clicky thing. Speak up and voice your concerns to your practitioner. As far as X-rays go... that is a personal preference. There are some that say never to x-ray, however I am of the mind that if I am going to let them adjust my neck, I want them to know EXACTLY what is going on in there. There are conditions that could be (potentially) worsened by the wrong adjustment and if the chiro isn't aware of ALL the symptoms, they could inadvertently do more harm than good. I would venture on the side of caution, understanding that sometimes, modern medicine has it's place. With new breath, Ravija Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
