I have had the best physio from a chiropractor. She is excellent and works very hard at keeping my mobility and flexion from deteriorating. Her care is one to one. I know she is an exception but if she is out there then there are others too. Many of my previous physio treatments from a physiotherapist were very poor. The physio would have a couple other patients and spent very little time with me but had no problem charging $75 per visit. The chiropractor has a strong knowledge base that I found lacking in physiotherapists. My chiro is not afraid to touch me. She really is trying to help me. Anyway that is my input. Take care everyone. Hope your days are peaceful and fairly comfortable as can be.






know I don't post alot (cause my hands hurt so much and it is painful for me to sit up typing) but I do try to read every few days or so to keep up-to-date. I laugh when you laugh and cry when you all cry.

I see there is some mentioning of chiropractic treatments here. I have had my full-body rsd (and Fibro) for over four years now and have used a chiropractor for two years of it and see a huge improvement in pain and function. However, the insurance co does not see any improvements and is cancelling my care. Now, I have to go to court and represent myself because I want to continue it. I've been told that chiropractics and RSD don't go together and I am lucky I received it for as long as I did...yet it helps me so much. I see a great chiropractor who doesn't do the "crack you and your out the door" thing. She does many different types of fascia work and PT with me. She has enabled me to walk again. How does everyone feel about chiropractics and any ideas on how I can keep continuing to use it in my future and get workers comp to pay for it. I went six months without it and I've gone down the tubes. I appreciate all your help.

I have to let you all know that when I have a terrible day and no one seems to understand I check out this site and most of the time I find someone who feels as though I do and then some. Thanks for all your help with this daily battle of RSD. You all are the best and I pray for your healing.
Take care,
