Is physical therapy or
massage going to help?
Physical therapy is the major component of the
orthopedist's
“conservative” approach to low back patients. The Caring Medical experience is
that the results are often disappointing in
chronic back pain
patients.
Many acute back injuries get better by themselves. Many of these
patients do take some PT, whether formally at a Physical therapy
facility, or more haphazardly at a chiropractor's office, but
it’s difficult to tell whether the results are any better or
faster than they would be without the PT. Cases in which there
is
muscle weakness should have a prescribed regular program of
strengthening exercises.
Prolotherapy accelerates the alleviation of pain far beyond
anything that the best physical therapy could ever achieve. It
does so because it is working to correct the source of the
problem. Massage can make people feel better, and it does not
interfere with
Prolotherapy results as adjustments may do. But
it works on muscles that are tightening in response to the
ligament pathology underneath, so you should expect the results
to be only temporary.
