After the Orthopedist
He will probably give you a prescription for physical therapy, which can be an integral aspect of your recovery.
Personally and professionally i would recommend neuromuscular therapy and/or tui-na massage. I see quick results from both of these techniques. Which form of therapy I would recommend depends upon the severity of the pain and spasms.
Usually within 3 or 4 treatments a good deal of improvement can be expected, although sometimes up to a dozen treatments are recommended.
I will often incorporate both of these techniques, melding the two for optimum results, and the least amount of discomfort.
Migraines
I’ve had several clients with migraines lately. A lot of different things can cause migraines, stress is the most common.
There are a couple of spots at the base of the skull, top of the neck, that can do a lot for releasing tension.
Although oftentimes some of the neck and shoulder muscles can be tight, causing strain to the base of the skull, complicating the situation.
I can usually alleviate most of the pain within 20 minutes and it will stay away at least for a few days if not permanently.
