Chiropractic Alternatives to chronic back and neck?
I had the upper back (shoulder), pain a few years ago (I 25) – and newly developed neck pain. Hlpe not go to a chiropractor relieve pain but does not disappear completely. And I'm worried more choripractor that run on it is needed. I tried sports therapy, osteopathy, acupuncture, Chinese medicine ball, nothing worked so well that chiropractic, but I would like an alternative.
You could try a unit of the NIF, which blocks electronic signals from your body sends pain to the brain. You wear it on his hip like a cell phone, there are pills that will give your body where the pain bothers you. I am with MEDS pain. They are very good … but they are almost impossible to quit on their own once you start. I do not recommend necessarily in this way. Do you know why the pain is there? Have you had an MRI X-rays? Once it appears the reason may be his condition will be easier to treat. Be well.
