Diane,
I'm not into chiro but glad it is helping you. However I do want to
ask about your weekly massage. Is it Massage Therapy or just a
massage. I think there is a difference but not sure about it. Just
wondering. I have been going to look at my health benefits from my
company. I'm on LTD but still covered by the health plan. Was
thinking that either Massage Therapy or massage could help me. My low back
prior to TM bothered me with disc problems and sciatica down the right leg which
is also my weak one. I find that besides the TM I still have pain from the
disc problem from time to time. LIke yourself carrying myself differently
against the pain and the weakness also affects other muscle groups and I was
hoping for some relief there as well.
Thanks
Heather in Calgary

I have also been seeing a chiropractor (for the last 2
months). He has helped me immensely. The spasms in my lower back
are so severe that all the surrounding tissue (hard and soft) is affected
- I had bursitis in both hips, inflammation around my tail bone and
hamstring and 7 areas of pinched (scrunched) nerve ends. The chiro has
reduced almost all the peripheral pain. As for the spasms, well...that's
not his area of expertise. But he has given me back my life as it was 2
years ago.
I have to add that I felt a chiro was my last resort. The neuro and
my family doctor couldn't seem to help. I tried a homeopath for about a
year and that didn't help. Then I tried Dit-Da medecine (Chinese,
acupressure & cupping) and that was a waste of money too. My only
revervation with the chiro was that he not crack my neck and he hasn't.
He is, however, working on the soft tissue that has been affected from poor
posture I seem to have acquired against the pain. All in all, a good
experience. I am also having a weekly massage.
