That seems like it would be another option, to see if things can improve.
Often PTs will evaluate /assess and do a more hands on than drs usually do, and they know how to do the various tests to find the cause of pain. Soft tissue can be a cause of pain just as much as a mechanical cause. Triggerpoints, spasms etc.


How long have you been doing that desk job?
