Any chiropractors in Ioway?
IME, sports oriented PT’s are a better choice with a hamstring inj than a chiro. Good ones can do spine manipulations like the chiros and they can do a lot more when it comes to joints, muscles, dynamic motion and function. Chiros do pretty well on spines, less effective with shoulders, knees, etc. DF For sure. And, as always, if one goes that route, a “good” chiropractor is what is needed. I had one that was great at adjusting extremities. But, wabi mentioned “lower vertebrata”. We have a PT whose focus in myofascial release and does great stuff. I walked around with lower back and leg pain for 17 years until a Doc-in-a-box sent me to a PT, who diagnosed and corrected an SI joint dislocation in 30 minutes. Huge fan of PT’s, obviously. Stretching keeps it from re-occurring. Strenuous work or exercise shortens tendons and muscles and makes it worse, and increases the need for stretching. Now, that's a whole different can of worms. Surgeons don't pay much attention to SI and Piriformis Syndrome as it's not a surgical problem. The piriformis muscle can spasm on the sciatic nerve and can mimic discogenic radiculopathy. P.T.'s are the best as dealing with and even diagnosing that condition. I haven't seen much from chiros on SI. The other two muscle groups that can go into spasm from SI disorder are the quadratus, which runs up the side of the back and the iliopsoas (tenderloin) which can cause groin pain. Google it and see it explanined anatomically. DF All sounding very familiar..... Which brings to mind the saying “to a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail”. The older I get, the more disenchanted I get by how medicine is practiced, as every specialist is very good at finding that nail he can hammer down.
