Well as a lot of you know I have had issues with my back (inflamed bursa sac on my left shoulder blade) that I have tried everything to fix. I tried physical therapy, ice/heat, deep tissue massage, Swedish massage, Thai massages, electro stimulus, oral and injectable anti-inflammitories, acupuncture and orthoscopic surgery on it. As of yet, NOTHING. I have been to the emergency room for flair ups to where I could hardly walk THREE times in the past 6 months or so. Doctors are baffled, and my last orthopedist actually told me that she gave up.
Well, after another flair up a few weeks ago I went to the hospital again and they gave me some muscle relaxers and shit. But that ain't going to do anything other than calm the symptoms, and I want to fix the problem.
After leaving the ER I stopped by this Chiropractor that is near my house and explained the situation and all the pain that I have been in for years and that doctors have no idea what is causing it.
They took a bunch of xrays and showed me what the problem is. See regular doctors are only trained to look at a spine and look for breaks, slipped disks, etc, but Chiropractors look at things a bit more in detail.
I came into this skeptical (as I am with everything) not sure if it would help, but I have tried EVERYTHING ELSE so I figured what the hell.
Within a week of treatment I have made a shitload of improvement. My back feels better than it ever has in the past few years. Now it has been three weeks and the pain has subsided about 80-90%!!!!!
I also noticed other side effects that I didn't expect. Better mood, sleeping better, and to top it off my sex drive is through the roof (as if I wasn't a perv enough beforehand lol.)
You always hear these doctors say that Chiropractors are scam artists, and yet these guys just want to throw a pill at you and send you on your way (after collecting a nice chunk of change from your insurance company and getting your copay for a 10 minute office visit.)
Well those docs can eat shit. I wish I had done this years ago. The doc told me that MAYBE I can start light lifting in a few weeks, but he wants to give it some time to make sure everything is ok so that I don't hurt myself again. I am FUCKING PSYCHED, I miss the gym like you can't imagine. Cardio only is boring as hell, I WANT WEIGHTS BACK!
There is something to be said for eastern/holistic medicine, and I think that we need to start implementing this into modern medicine in addition to western style medical practices.
I will keep you posted.
