BHC Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Been going twice per week since late May, my doctor said no significant improvement so PT isn't helping, plus the PT location will not treat me for my cervical spine issues since I've gone so many times, and insurance said the same......oh well !!

Recurve hntr Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Sorry to hear. I’ve been dealing with spine issues for a few yrs now. Definitely changed my life. Wish I would have never had surgery. The pain from day to day varies. I get numbness and burning in my legs a lot. Can’t stand to long. I’ve done 6 months of physical therapy. Changed nothing. I just got home from routine doctors appointment. She scheduled me for an MRI to see what the deal is. BHC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjtfd Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Was doing PT in my neck since April. I stopped last month. Doctor said if pt didn’t work by now it’s not going to. PT was making it worse in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timo Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Most treatment for back issues are like putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound but I have found that the right PT, flexibility in your hips and hamstrings coupled with cryotherapy works for me. The insurance thing is another issue. For PT to work you need to do it 2-3x a week. My insurance caps out at 38 visits a year which is a joke but I have my surgeon write me scripts for PT them fight with the insurance Company. What part of jersey are you in?

Zone50BugNerd Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Have you looked into spinal decompression therapy? I have a host of both lumbar (L5-S1) and cervical spine issues (C5-C6, C6-C7). PT, adjustments and steroids were, and continue to be useless interventions for me. I’m allergic to NSAIDS and ibuprofen, and refuse to take the opioids for pain. What has offered me relief has been acupuncture and spinal decompression, and I use a TENS unit at home before stretching. Look into it, worth a shot.
