I do think, whatever works, works. But curious about the success you've all had via Chiro.
Thanks so much! |
My chiro used PT modalities (ultrasound, low level laser, IF stim, nimmo, etc) as well as adjustments and the c1/c2 upper cervical adjustment, also called atlas /axis, and elbow, shoulder, wrist etc...
I did a lot of things on my own as well as some regular PT and an advanced PT that dropped my top ribs down when they had got stuck up due to severe spasms. trigger point w/ tennis ball, Sharon Butler stretching, posture work..
I went to that chiro from 2004- 2010, early on it was 2x a week at first since I was in bad shape at the time.
As I felt better we stretched out the appt spacing and I could have stopped a year earlier but it didn't cost anything out of pocket the way our ins was set up.
So much depends on what traumas you might have had and what brought on the TOS symptoms.
Mine was multiple & chronic RSIs as well as the static postures of assembly work & speed & repetition.
