Hello, I wanted to get any feedback on your experience with Dr. Schierling. I have read his website and will be calling his office on Monday. Did you see him? What was your experience? No answer is too short! I love details and your intuition. I have longstanding Thoracic Outlet Syndrome or TOS ( on list of his treatments) and have had 4 surgeries for the condition. 20 years of pain. Some associated with TOS, some I"m not convinced is from the surgery, stress, chronic pain. I have had every treatment you can imagine. P.T., Accupuncture, trigger point, botox, dry needling, TENS unit, biofeedback, Feldenkrais ( which I liked), Blah.. blah.... blah...... etc....... I am at my wits end with chronic pain. I live in Southern California - 100 miles north of Los Angeles- so I would like to find a practitioner in my area but I'm not sure if there is one. I would rather travel and spend the money on the air ticket then spend it going to practitioners that don't/can't help me. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you MarcB |

You might try phone directories, Google: myofascial trigger point therapist [your state] and ask the physiatrist who mentioned it (she may know one, or have her staff find one for you). Doc

Yep, the physiatrist referred me to PT for myofascial release and had me download an iPhone app called Trigger Point that I can play with at home if I want. She's also sending me for pool therapy and core strengthening. She thinks that most of my pain is related to myofascial muscle spasm, though.
