Reply #24: Have you tried chiropractic, acupuncture or massage?

I recommend them in that order.

Since your pain is from an injury, it may well be something that a good chiropractor could fix, especially if you've got nerve pain/numbness down a leg or other signs of a disk out of place. I once got hit on the head by a falling tree and got a bulging disk. The pain was driving me out of my mind and the orthopedist told me to live with it. I saw a chiro, who did one pop and the pain instantly went away--miraculous, and I'd been a total skeptic of chiros before.

I write about alternative medicine for an international trade journal. These treatment methods are now accepted by most mainstream doctors, unlike in the past. FYI, I've done all three of the above treatments, if you have any questions. They worked well for some injuries and less well for others. I've been in several car accidents and a workman's comp accident besides the tree incident, so unfortunately I'm an expert on pain treatments.
