Re: [RC] Daughters head injury on horse - Ed and Wendy HauserJeri said: "I think that a good physical therapist does much more for most back/neck problems than a chiro. jeri" I have to second that.. In the late '70's I developed back problems. After 9 months and a number of chiro's who could give symptomatic relief but no cure, I found a good sports medicine orthopaedist. One exam, a prescription to the physical therepist, and a year of exercises and my back has been good since. The keys are: 1. Sports medicine. Ordinary doctors don't believe in PT because so many of their patients lie and say they have been doing their exercises when they haven't. Sports med. Drs. know, because their motivated patients follow their advice, that PT works. 2. Time. PT does not work instantly. You may find 3-6 months of work for large benefit, a year or more for maximum effect. It is like LSD in horses. Ed.
