Question:
Holistic treatment for upper back pain?

My friend has pretty severe ongoing upper back pain from a past accident. He tells me the doctors have done all they can. Would massage help? Are there any other types of treatment available?

Answer: Chiropractic spinal adjustment is the standard of care for these sorts of problems. Back pain, Neck pain, Hip pain, etc. are all commonly treated (effectively) by chiropractic treatments alone.

If you need a referral, let me know your zip code by email reply. I can send you a list of doctors of chiropractic in your area.

Have a great day!

EDIT: in reply to the previous person's answer...chiropractors are doctors who adjust the spine to remove misalignment. They might work on muscles via muscle adjustment, but it is a wrong misconception to call it massage. Chiropractors, in general, do not masage. The treatment that works is chiropractic adjustment.
