I do see one, just not often enough. It is the one thing my insurance does not cover and the little old Chinese lady I see does not come cheap. I go twice a month, she wants me to come 3 times weekly for 6 months, then back to twice monthly maintenance and I know she is right. Everything except the left knee and hip feels better for about a week after I see her. There is no fixing the knee and hip other than replacement. I've had no cartilage in the knee since I was 16, so it is shot, and the left hip was the impact point from the car and there is major trauma to the ball joint.That's o
You need to see a massage therapist. Between spinal meningitis and crushing l2 and l3 in a motorcycle wreck and countless other wrecks, I was a mess a couple years after I quit racing bikes. I had a pinched nerve that almost cost me my left arm (I'm a lefty) and doctors said there wasn't much they could do... My girlfriend is a massage therapist and she patched me up pretty good. I still know I've put myself through the wringer, but my arm works again and I can do pretty much anything I want to. She also fixed up a friend that supposedly had a spinal disease since he was a kid, over 20 years on disability and now he is able to work for the first time in his adult life. Screw doctors, massage and holistic medicine is way better.
When my son reaches school age in a couple years and I'm not paying out the ass for a very advanced, structured daycare, I plan to increase my visits to the MT. For now budget only allows twice a month at $140\visit for two hours.
The little old lady is amazing though. On my first visit to her, without me telling her anything other than I had full body pain, she was able to find the root cause of the sacroiliac nerve within five minutes. It took doctors 3 years to come to that conclusion. She is a tiny little thing but uses her elbows, knees, toes, forearms, etc. with amazing mastery. In addition to being a licensed MT she has a Phd. in Anatomy and Physiology.
