Physical Therapy started...

I'm just pondering my first visit to a physical therapist for Chronic Pain treatment, which was prescribed by my Neurologist last week along with some Calcium Channel Blockers to try to curtail headache pain.

It was quite interesting today, in that after interview/discussion I was told to lay on my back and the therapist "worked" my spine and neck from underneath me. She explained that this allows her to use my body weight as an aid and allows me to relax. She explained the dural sheathto me and how this likely ties all of my particular pains together. Finally, a story that makes sense to me and contradicts many regular doctors I've visited through the years.

My "prescription" today is illustrated below, with a "sort of" description around the middle of this web page: http://www.tuskenchiropractic.com/ht.html

I'm to use these "lightly" to try and loosen the "dura", if I'm using the right terminology.

We'll see I guess.
