Medical Advice Thread! Hey Y'all, I've got a friend with some bad back and neck pain. Visits to a local Chiropractor don't seem to help. Anyone have leads on...

Amazing physical therapy recommended to me from a nurse at MJH, I saw them myself and they were great, even borrowed me their equipment to speed along recovery. I was pregnant with some terrible back pain. Their number is 977-6700. Can't recall the name but the 2 guys tere are miracle workers and they aren't about you coming every day and spending everything in your bank account. They teach you exercises to do at home and stuff.

my back was pretty busted up a couple winters ago from improper contortion training~ so bad I couldn't breathe! no chiropractors/acupuncture/massage would help it at all. You know what finally did? REIKI. My back popped within the hour and i have never felt the pain again. Dami Muse.

I have dealt with back pain a lot. If its muscular, like mine, than physical therapy has always been the answer because its about STRENGTHENING your body in order to heal it. sometimes certain muscles are compensating for other muscles that are weak. And we need someone to show us how to train these weaker parts. Nina at Pantops Physical therapy is good. Ive also heard that Dr. Peter Bowers, an Osteopath can diagnose, is SUPER good. GOod luck!

China Med Dr. Chang is my favorite for acupuncture relief. It will take about 3 visits but it feels better immediately. For me it works better than massage

Balance Chiropractic got me walking upright again, ACAC PT and Lovingston PT were great for the long-term stuff re: core and posture issues. and i agree with Karine that those electrodes can feel dern good! bottom line is to figure out what's causing it. i wanna try Acu, totally stealing these suggestions.

I also love love love my chiropractor. And let me tell you I saw 3 and it's important to get a good one. A very wonderful good honest man with mad skills is Steve Vegodsky. And people who know him will all tell you how awesome he is. He does payment plans too.

Honestly. Try the book "Healing Back Pain" by Dr. John Sarno. It is all about the mind-body connection. I was three weeks away from back surgery for a huge herniated disc in my lower back when I read it and it totally changed my outcome 100%. I thought it was bologna when a friend recommended it, but I was desperate. Read the Amazon reviews. http://www.amazon.com/Healing-Back-Pain-Mind-Body-Connection/dp/0446557684/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1389293439&sr=1-1&keywords=healing+back+pain+by+dr+sarno

REALLY like JeAnne Frey at Treat Yourself Right massage. She's over across from Barracks Road. Fantastic at a bunch of modalities, but she's not afraid to really get in there if that's what you need.
