(4,195 posts)thanks to my chiropractor. Id had a foot injury that would not heal, where I could not take a single step without pain and couldnt take even short hikes for a year. Then I learned about a great chiropractor who was a ballerina when younger and so in her training and now her practice, she took an interest in healing foot and leg pain. I started getting treatments from her in September and by the end of October I was able to walk several miles without any pain.
No surgery needed and no physical therapy. Just knowledgeable deep tissue massage and pressure point manipulation.
These days most chiropractors have many different techniques to heal, not just spinal manipulation.
There are good ones and poor ones. Im lucky to have found a great one. She has also resolved lower back and shoulder pain Ive had.
