Thanks OBG. That mental image going to haunt me!


Stretching is good. Get to the gym, strengthen your back muscles once you get over this current episode. Losing the paunch will help too, as you won't have an extra X pounds pulling the spine forward and out of whack.

Anyone out there ever seen a DO for osteopathic manipulation? It's not the same as chiropractics, but that speciality grew from osteopathy. Just wondering if what I'm learning in school works in the real world. (thanks!)

I don't know about ostepathy, but the member "kmat" is a doctor of chiropractics.

Dr. Grey in Antlers Oklahoma. Highly recomended by most pro rodeo riders and and those of us that have broken our necks, and were lucky enough to find him.

MDindana,

We took our young son to an osteopath for cranial manipulation in an attempt to cure his colic/sleeplessness. I kinda thought my wife was a little strange to try it. He had not slept through the night for at least a year. One visit to the osteopath for a cranial manipulation treatment and my wife and I awoke the next morning to each other instead of a crying baby. We looked at each other and said "did you get up"? When we both answered no, we immediately thought he had died!! We rushed into his room to see him soundly sleeping in a very peaceful way!!

Somethings you just have to experience for yourself to see if they work for you.

A DO is who worked out my back issue. Wish the field was as popular as it is in Europe. For those interested:

I did a long time ago for a back injury in college. The pain was incredible. The DO manipulated my back and gave me a "diathermy"(?) treatment. I walked out of the office pain free. A second treatment about a week later concluded the treatment. One rare occasions, the old injury will still bother me, but nothing that motrin or tylenol can't handle.

Good Luck

Hmm, how did you know about the paunch?

Funny thing, I've been seeing a chiropractor for my neck and shoulder for about two months now. Since I had to leave town before I could get back in to see him, I will have to wait till friday.

If he can't make it better, I may have to look up an osteopath.

After getting it reasonably okay for travel Monday morning, I have been struggling to be able to walk upright. The snow here in Denver ain't helping my cause none.
