Working / Worked
when i had insurance i was able to see an excellent osteopath, i had to see him monthly- but it really helped.
Working / Worked
Most light manipulative therapies seem to help for the period of the therapy sessions. Thereafter symptoms return as before.
Working / Worked
Monthly GENTLE adjustments from head to toe; every other month prolotherapy on particularly loose joints.
Somewhat Helpful
