What type of doctor can effectively treat neck/back problems?
I was in a bad car accident about 10 years ago, and have dealt with chronic inflammation of connective tissues and spinal arthritis since about a year after the accident. Even though I work out and stay in shape I still have a lot of pain in my neck and back. I have been to orthopedists, spine specialists and other traditional doctors who say that there is really not anything they can do. About 5 months ago, I decided to try an Osteopathic Doctor. Even after about 5 months of treatment – manipulation, myofacial release, prolotherapy – there is absolutely no change. He keeps saying to try just a few more sessions. Frankly, I’m tired of spending money on treatment that isn’t working – especially since my pain is typically not debilitating, just very annoying. And – this doctor has not been able to provide me with any numbers about the effectiveness of the treatment. I’m only 30 years old, and the thought of having to live with this is not pleasant. Any suggestions?
