My chiropractor is the one that uses ultrasound, LLLT, IF stim (electrical stimulation) & triggerpoint as needed for me now.

Most other PTs usually would do ultrasound & massage and that was it.
then the stretches, then advancing to more active things - but mostly I was lucky that they didn't ask me to push ahead too fast.

My arterial sx are very mild now, and as along as I keep up w/ my home stretches, posture awareness- i can maintain pretty well.
Technically I don't have a formal dx by any MD, probably because my symptoms were not severe enough to warrant a bunch of $$ testing.
I improved a lot with finding an really good chiro and I also had found a teacher of PT that had his own clinic, he was very helpful and I shared the info with my chiro.

The pictures I have on my profile page are things he suggested to me.
He said that everyone really should be doing these to avoid the forward head & shoulders postures that modern life & jobs put us into.

Even just sitting in a chair most of the day, you body will change after many years of that.
