I get massages fairly regularly, and do physiotherapy as well. The places I go to specialize with MS patients (since we have so many here). They never actually go near my spinal column when they massage though.

Most of my pain is in the upper portion though, where there is cord. Perhaps it's not as big of a deal if it's in an area where there is no cord (below the L-level in the spine).

Have you tried physiotherapy?
