He's a chiropractor plus (various medical certifications).<br /><br />The injections are for both pain relief and for diagnostic purposes. I appear to have multiple issues.<br /><br />But the spinal adjustments, done well before the injections, brought <b>immediate</b> relief from the terrible, front-of-the-left-thigh pain. Absolutely amazing!<br /><br />The discomfort I'm having now is bearable -- restricted to the foot (odd tingling) and, of course, the injection sites themselves.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-63056019804891274082015-01-02T14:58:11.453-06:002015-01-02T14:58:11.453-06:00"administered several lumbar-spine adjustment..."administered several lumbar-spine adjustments and several epidural blocks."<br /><br />All in one visit?

The doctor pronounced me "hyper-mobile," in other words "incredibly flexible with a wide range of motion."<br /><br />In general, physical therapy is indeed therapeutic. However, as one actually injured during incorrect PT back in 2005, I've become wary of PT. It is a confirmed fact that the exercises imposed by the PT folks just after the car accident did permanent damage to the sacroiliac ligament because of overstretching.<br /><br />I will never again have PT without first having an MRI -- as was the case in 2005.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-4068817813044990422015-01-02T08:33:06.590-06:002015-01-02T08:33:06.590-06:00I echo the sentiment of all the above.

I am happy for you, and hope the relief is long lasting.<br /><br />I still think enrolling in some sort of Yoga Class -- or regular sessions in Physical Therapy -- or perhaps even a Back-Pain Support Group that engages in regular Exercise Sessions -- might help keep your body in better balance, and thus prevent a relapse.<br /><br />At any rate, enjoy this hard-won victory. I hope it brightens your days and lightens your burdens for years to come,<br /><br />HAPPY NEW YEAR!FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.com
