Ok.... I may be late to the party on this. My wife goes to a physical therapist for her migraines. I've been to plenty of pt. But this guy is completely different. Basically, he "fixes" when your jacked up, he pretty much does what you would expect a chiro to do. But your entire body and not alot of visits. His goal is to fix you... not make you a reoccurring revenue stream.
At wife wife's last appt I asked if he could look at me scapular winging. (Been to multiple pts's I do all the exercises... still there)
I go to see him yesterday. He starts working his magic. When he sees how tight I am he tells me I HAVE to see his acupuncturist. Im skeptical... he pushes, makes a call, gets me in for this am.
He also warns me... it's going to suck. Feel free to swear. I'm amused as I picture some old Chinese lady gently tapping tiny needles into me as I peacefully lull off to a nice gentle nap.
Holy fucking torture!!!!!! Ninety minutes of a non Asian woman driving 10 penny nails into my muscles and ligaments. It was anything but enjoyable. I have had dry needling done. Multiply it by ten. When each needle hit a trigger point she would flick it to spasm the muscle... then leave it. After all the pins were in you wait for 20 min or so. She comes back and before pulling them jiggles them again as i lie in a pool of my own sweat.
Finally done...nope. flip over and repeat. WTF
Anyway... when I left it fealt like my shoulder area was beat with a bat.
5 hours later I feel noticeable improvement to my pre appt tightness.
Anyway... google it if you suffer from nagging pain/injuries as we all do. Might be of some relief
