My PT says to give a place 2 weeks to see if it is helping(2-3 times per week. I might try a month,but the last few I tried for 2-3 months and it didnt help. After going 2x I could tell that it was better than anything else I had tried. Feldenkriess is a movement technique that I have been meaning to try,I dont think its a cure.

I am trying to get an appointment with the place next week, decided I would give it a shot and also order Edgelow's Protocol and try that, whichever is sooner. I have been thinking about it and I think 2 weeks is probably enough for me to at least see if I feel any relief in comparison to the PT I was doing before (until this past May). Regardless, if I decide to just go ahead with surgery, at least one or the other or maybe both can help me post surgery.

Sometimes it does take a combo of things to make a difference therapy wise.
But if you have the extra cervie ribs , sorry I can't recall if that is your situation or not at the moment  ... it may be a waste of time /money to expect any changes in a short time frame. They might be able to help with pain relieving therapies though.. |
I am definitely going to try out an initial evaluation at this place and possibly another I found. I do have extra cervical ribs and am now wondering with this rib mobilization, it seems it is usually the first and second ribs, do you happen to know if that works or can be done with cervical ribs? I do think learning pain relieving therapies is probably a good idea for me right now as I am doing nothing but living with it and still working (at a computer typing and sitting 8 hours a day) which makes it tougher.
