Wakeboard crash / back question

[cornrickey]

md's will just give you pain meds for there 45 seconds of patient contact. I'd find a chiro that doesnt just pop your back but figures out why things are the way they are through movement manipulation and stretching.

Have you called the Psychic Network? My local witchdoctor also might be able to help.




Sorry, you probably need to have it looked at by a professional. MDs will do Xrays and give meds. I would start there in case you fractured something. Then look for a bone cracker. They help many people without drugs.

From a Medical Perspective.....NEVER let any chiropractor do any work to a NEW injury without doing X-rays first! Its one if you've been treated by that practioner and its something you've had in the past. Something new...no!
Its not worth the risk of missing something and then doing damage with the wrong treatment.

I honestly would opt for an MRI to find out exactly what is going on. Hopefully you just tweaked it and it will heal over time. I have 2 herniated discs is my lumbar and been fighting it since 2010. My chiropractor took xray and said, that the disc look good and that it was just muscular, MRI showed otherwise. I just had an epidural last week which helped drastically but that only is masking the pain. I am starting IDD therapy on Tuesday. This is a disc decompression that targets the herniated disc. The doctors office that doses claims they stopped a lot people from getting the knife. I wish you the best and hope it is just muscular...

I'm calling the Neck and Spine specialist tomorrow morning to set up an appointment. I sure hope it's nothing serious, but it's definitely a different kind of pain than I've experienced before. Not the worst I've felt, just different and hard to explain. Like someone is trying to compress my spine right in between my shoulder blades.

It's hell to get old fellas.
