Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I agree about chiropractic - I believe that has kept my joint pain symptoms from being debilitating for the last couple years. The times when my insurance wouldn't cover some of it and I had no choice but to not go were difficult - I had to be agressively active - aerobics, weights, etc - to keep the pain moderate. Ideally, you shouldn't have to see a chiropractor forever, but I know until I get these implants out, it will help. My hands get stiff, numb, tingly, stabbing pains, along with a stiff and painful neck. Most chiropractors too, will give you a discount if you see them regularly. For example, I just told mine since my insurance ran out I couldn't afford it for a few months, as I needed to save for explant - She offered to have me come and only pay my copay until insurance kicked back in. I know it releases a fair bit of toxins too. I have seen 3 different chiropractors, so they can be very different (Palmer educated is different than other schools, for example) so I suggest 'interviewing' a few just as you would a ps. I have found I prefer to stay away from the 'sports medicine' type ones - usually big burly athletes who don't know alot about nutrition, etc. The two women chiropractors I had also had nutrition and accupuncture on site. That sometimes is a good indication that you'll get someone who understands how important detoxing is. Sunny <wellnessnow@...> wrote: Thanks so much, Patty, for the comprehensive list!

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I could not live without my massage therapist and my chiropractor. They keep me moving with a lot less pain.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 , et al, I have a wonderful body worker; she's an RPT, registered physical therapist, who has studied myofascial release and other techniques, and she does wonderful things for me! What's really lucky about my situation is that she is an RPT at a hospital out-patient PT clinic, so Medicare covers essentially an unlimited amount of her services! Lucky me!
