I've been fighting with severe arthritis for many years. I'm sure you could do both physical therapy and chiropractor, but I have not found that chiropractic adjustments help deal with Arthur at all. Exercise, heating pads, swimming, massage helps most. Some people use ice packs but my joints can't take the cold - even cold air from the AC blowing on my arms puts me in agony. I use Salon Pas patches on the joints that are hurting. That seems to help more than anything else I've tried. If the doc recommends steroid shots in your neck, be sure to ask them to numb the spot before giving the shot, because they hurt like all heck. My father had surgery on his neck for degenerative arthritis. When he woke up from the surgery he said "never let them do this to you". I have followed his advice, because I saw how bad he suffered.

I'm fine with that but I also have a good chiropractor. My question is can I do both the Physical Therapy and the chiropractor? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:372751 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
