Soft tissue pain can be very bothersome.
Unless your skin hurts when being touched or pressure alone hurts ??  then a non pro should be fine.
I wouldn't let them go digging in with elbows on you , but some gentle massage to get the blood flowing shouldn't hurt. |
OH yes, and yes... I have some issues... I have stenosis, my c4-5, c5-6 and c6-7 all pressing against my spinal cord... that is all form this accident... from previous accidents I have some degeneration further up and some bone spurs...
I have been going to a chiro and my soft tissue person twice a week for 7 months.. this is my first week without them.. and I am miserable!

The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily.
Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well.
Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off)
