Some time back, I wrote about some pain I was having in my back. My primary doctor sent me for an MRI, which I was unable to complete, and wanted me to see a back specialist.
Instead, I went to the chiropractor that my wife and her mother see. I had my 4th session with him yesterday. There won't be 5th. It's not needed. I haven't felt the pain in more than a week. I've been doing the stretches he advised me to do. I'm going to make a weekly appointment to see the massage therapist who comes to the fitness center at work once a week. There was some tightness in my neck and back that went along with the alignment issue - Dr. K said you'll pretty much never see the spine out of alignment without the surrounding muscles being affected, and so in his opinion it doesn't make much sense to only treat one.
It's amazing what can happen when you and your medical provider address the problem, and not the symptoms, eh?
Short and sweet post tonight. There really isn't much else to say about it. I went to the right person, and what we did has worked.
