I have family and friends in Chicago so I will check him out when I go visit-maybe in September. I think you need at least 2-3 weeks of treatment with one person to see if it helps. I have been seeing Art Ando for 9 months and I am 50-60% better-but have plateued and looking for some other options. I think time and rest from repeitive work has been the best thing for me.

once my pt got my fascia to loosen up i could adjust my first rib myself but i dont have the same scalene problems that most of you have

12 sessions is nothing, you have to wait years to figure this stuff out

AND Trigger Pt injections monthly. The other say I had TRP injections just in my teres muscles which is usually one of the bad places and it helped right away-we'll see how long it lasts.

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.

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!

Did you ever check him out?

no I didnt end up going to Chicago this year-maybe next year-too much else going on. happy holidays! jkl
