I'm bumping this to add my .2 cents.
The short is, I threw my back out a few weeks ago. Ended up going to a chiro, got x rayed, and was told my lumbar vertebrae were essentially twisting right hip, inwards. This was causing pressure on nerves. Now, I know nothing about anatomy, I just saw my x-ray, and it made sense, as it was clearly looking like it was twisted. I decide to go with her treatments.
I've been going now twice a week, so 6 sessions in. I already feel loads better, not 100%, but I'm better than I was before, where I considered myself to actually be 100%. I did not realize how restricted I had been. I'm to the point now where I can actually wipe my ass with my left hand. I haven't been able to twist that way in YEARS, without pain. I considered it being a result of being right hand dominant, coupled with being a meathead. NOPE, I was just twisted up, and it was progressively getting worse.
I will say that I was skeptical at first, and after the second session I was considering going a different route. But thinking about it similar to a new workout program, or a new diet, I decided to stick with it to see where it gets me.
I'll be continuing her process to see how much more I can get out of my back and new found mobility. Once I get this lined out, I'll look into a good PT for long term maintenance.
