Also, with nine years having passed, we don't know what tweaks and adjustments Stoxen may have made to his protocol. I don't think you have said why the levator shouldn't be strengthened other than implying that its because its better to strengthen other muscles. The "NEVER" is pretty strong though. |

Re: out of town travel, IIRC you do multiple days in a row and multiple hours per day. I don't know if one trip lasting a week or two (plus ongoing self care) would be enough, or you would have to go back. And it could (will?) vary by case. And don't forget that Neurotalk often collects the worst cases. People here are taking Stoxen's comments about the treatment course and applying them to this group--the TOS Misfits. (Although his Sonny Burke case sounded pretty severe like us.) The best TOS case I've heard of was an acute one. A guy fell off his motorbike and his first rib got jammed up producing all the usual TOS symptoms. Treatment was one chiro session and it fully resolved the problem. But he didn't have "long term" TOS or any confounding factors like RSI, TMJD, EDS, etc. Now I'm just rambling... |
Hopefully we will hear back from the person who posted that they were treated by Dr. Stoxen or someone who posts regularly will go and report back.

Why would you strengthen a muscle that isn't weak and refers pain into the neck?

We were discussing treatment duration earlier in this thread. In a comment on the Stoxen post from 10 days ago, Stoxen wrote:
"Many patients who read the article have called from around the world flew into Chicago to visit me at Team Doctors and had their TOS resolved in a matter of days with our 8-12 hour/day round the clock treatments." He say "days". I'm guessing that means 3 - 5, maybe 3 - 10. But as mentioned before, each TOS case can be different. I do wonder if getting 8 hours of treatment in a day would be overbearing. :eek: |
Thats a good point
I know i couldnt handle 8 hrs. Nervous system is too sensitive |
8 to 10 hours - wow! That seems unrealistic. I would need to hear testimony from actual patients who have been thru this treatment. I could understand going to 10 or 12 separate apts but this seems like TOS overkill!

I talked to him and out of town patients stay foe 4 or 5 days. He treats you for about 16 hours a day. He says you are done when you are pain free. I sent him all my MRIs and reports. I am waiting to hear back from him. I have plateaued in my recovery process. I see a Chrio and MT. My Chrio said it does work because they can spend so much time on you. |
