Hi . Thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to write such an

in depth reply! Your info is JUST what I needed. Hope your

hands UN-cramped quickly after you wrote.

I printed out what you wrote and will check it out with my

insurance company and then approach my doc.

Thanks and Best Wishes,

> As A Physical Therapist Assistant, here are my suggestions.1.

Find out what your insurance will cover as far as physical

therapy. Some insurances won't pay for a chronic condition,

however if the script for P.T. from the Dr stated muscle strain, or

pain or myofascial pain syndrome, something like that then they

probable will pay. a lot of insurance will only give you a certain

amount of visits per episode. Yes some therapist do massage

therapy, I do, but again if all you do is massage therapy in the

treatment a lot of insurances will deny payment, so we always try

to include exercises also. I would look for a therapist who does

manual therapy. There are many types of manual therapy. strain

counter strain, cranio sacral therapy, myofascial release, soft

tissue mobilization, viseral manipulation etc. sometimes when I

have muscle soreness I'll have another coworker do myofascial

release on my and that works really well for the pain and spasm.

The question someone said about after they

> align me will I stay aligned? Some times, and sometimes not.

If you have muscle that are wear that go into spam pulling the

pelvis out of alignment you can put it back, but another strain

may pull it back out again. For those who can tolerate some

exercises, that were that comes in, To strengthen the muscles

that hold you in alignment to help keep you there.The question

someone asked about what causes the soreness when it isn't

lactate? We do not always know why a person has a spasm

when they come to therapy, just what techniques to try to get rid

of them. There are many reasons a person can be in spasm. to

many to list, my hands ate getting ready to cramps now. Hope

this was helpful. in Michigan
