The chiropractor I saw basically did trigger point massage on the back of the neck. This only had short-term effect.
This is something I continued doing on my own for the past year or so. Probably it is not as efficient doing it myself, but I can do it multiple times a day.
Still I only get short-term effect (or sometimes a flare-up, presumably when I irritate a nerve).
I was hoping to see some gradual improvement over time, but no luck so far.
Acupuncture and ultrasound had no effect (with 3 different PTs and 3 different acupuncturists over the years).
Did not try the laser thing - not sure I understand how it is supposed to work.
The neck pain usually gets worse at night and then gets better during the day. I spent many years trying to change the way I sleep, experimenting with different pillows etc. At best, I get some relief for a few days and then the pain comes back.
Anyone had issues with neck pains at night?
