What's the Cure for a Stiff Neck?

[Les Sleeth]

After nearly thirty years in medicine, Tsu agrees. She has scanned many people [mainly necks] who were hurt by their Chiropractor. The accupressure and whatnot is fine, but I wouldn't get near anyone who does manipulations.

I suppose I should have been more clear since I don't dispute the continuous return for adjustments is costing people a lot of money unnecessarily.

But I also know for a fact that adjustments to severely out of place bones can help. I cited two examples I know of. However, it's true that patients weren't under the care of a chiropractor, they were in physical therapy after accidents. It was in the context of an over all physical therapy program that the adjustments proved helpful. The one friend who avoided back surgery told me she had to do special exercises and weight training, and that she had to wear orthopedic shoes designed to keep her back from slipping out of place again. Without the strengthening aspects of physical therapy, and if just going to a chiropractor, she would have returned again and again for adjustments with no permanent improvement.

The Bob, I am going to disagree with your mom. It is not normal for someone your age, and due to your height, you really should have tests done. Have you been to a bone specialist?

I thought the same. I suppose I will have to just put up with my mum.

I can't say I have been to a bone specialist. I didn't even know they existed (beyond the lab). Might have to think about it more.

Cheers Evo.

But, I just wanted a cure once and for all...

I suppose amputation would be a little extreme.

No, pseudogout has calcium deposits. What I had was a soft mass attached to the side of my big toe, not in the joint, but near it.

Another queer thing I ran across was the case of a woman who had a complete extra, redundant muscle attached to her little toe. No one would ever have known except that it became inflamed. Could be you have an extra, redundant big toe muscle.

Those aren't redundant. All women have them, but they remain dormant usless she decides to become a ballerina.
