Read up on osteopathic manipulative therapy. I was paralyzed and couldnt suport my body weight on my legs and back.@Galante I went and got the 2 cortisone shots in my lower back yesterday...HOLY SHIT, I feel like I'm 20 years old again!!!!!!! the DR. told me he hasn't seen that much inflammation in a persons back in over 25 years that he's been in business...he said he had no idea how I was even able to walk upright! I told him if the shot actually worked I was gonna give him a hug lol...after he stuck the 15 ft needle in my back, he asked if I felt anymore pain...I said no and he ran out of the room!...the nurses outside the room told me he was scared I was gonna hug him and hurt him lol
I actually slept over 4 hours and woke up this morning PAIN FREE!!! If anyone knows back pain it's me...I know your wife must be in a great deal of pain, tell her to give my DR a call to see if he can help her out...DR. Syed S. Rahman, MD 1133 Westchester Ave White Plains, NY 10604 (914)358-9700
Hope this can help her out brother
Then read up about Doctor Hugh etlinger.
Anyway make a long story short. They can remove all inflammation with just their hands. No cracking no meds no shots. Anytime I get really bad again I start a round of therapy. Etlinger teaches it out of Saint Barnabas hospital in the Bronx. Only place in the world you gonna get this type of treatment in clinic form. Every therapist who learns this practice does it in private setting for big bucks a visit.
I also have mid back arthritis and DJD. I only learned about OMT from somebody paying it forward to me and actually forcing me to go see them. Everyone who has listened to me thanks me later. 3 were on the brink of surgery and never had to have it done after. My mom being one of those people.
