I'm not sure the chiropractor is doing anything for me... any thoughts out there??

I've been going quite regularly since I was in an accident and hit my forehead December 2010. I can't swear that it has helped me, but I certainly don't think it has harmed me in any way. I usually feel more relaxed and stay that way longer, which has to contribute to my over all well-being.

My chiro had posted this article on her page one day and I found it a quick, interesting read - I doubt this study took MTBI patients into consideration but if an adjustment makes me feel better AND improves my brain waves then I'm all over it.

Acupuncture of all things helped me the most, but I haven't heard much research or validation from chiropractic medicine and TBI

my acupuncturist is an hour away (the only one I really believe in and trust) and i can't drive that far. He referred me to someone else (who I didn't particularly love but was ok) and now with the hurricane, so many roads are closed that I can't even get to either one!!

I might try massage again....the woman I go to offers a half hour for $45 and she gave me some coupons.

Massage Envy has many locations around U.S. Not sure you have any one closer. With membership you get 1 hour massage for $50 and one free massage every month. They have many therapists with different skill sets (Trigger Point, Myofascial pain release etc.,).

Meh. I am agnostic about my chiropractor and my acupuncture and my nutritional supplements. But like I said in another post, at this point, I don't care if it's actually helping or just giving me placebo effect. I will try just about anything if there's any chance of it making me feel better and it probably isn't going to hurt me.

i sustained a hard vertical impact to my jaw. afterwards, my eyes were not properly aligned. my first chiropractic adjustment noticeably improved the alignment of my eyes. i also believe it's greatly reduced my tinnitus and other post-concussion symptoms. i think that this may be because a lot of my injury was to my spinal cord and neck rather than my brain.
