The chiropractic treatments helped, yet I still had shoulder pain. While pushing into my shoulder muscles, the chiropractic felt (and I felt--ouch!!--) a couple muscle knots. He suggested a massage therapist.
I was a little skeptical that a massage therapist could get rid of muscle knots. I always thought of massages as a "luxury" type thing--in the same category as getting your nails done or getting a perm.
I was thrilled to find out that muscle knots actually can be massaged out! This licensed m.t. did a deep muscle massage in my shoulder, and I noticed quite an improvement a couple days later. I had an additional massage the following week: more improvement, but not as drastic a difference as week one. Now, most of my pain is gone!!
Do you still think I should see a scoliosis-specializing orthopedist?? My scoliosis is 19 degrees per the chiropractor, and it's up high (cervical).
Thanks,
