Neck pain help!!!

[Cosmic123]

I've got a terrible pain in my neck and shoulders. I've had physio to no avail and their latest advice is to try to relax (easier said than done). Can anyone recommend a type of massage that can help with this type of problem. It's making me feel very fed up.

Cosmic I live in Scotland so not much help to you for finding a chiropractor in London! Lol.

I went on recommendations.

My experience with the NHS was and still is that they will NOT recommend you go to a chiropractor. I had an argument with my doctor regarding it as he poo poo'd it even though I was evidently getting better. For me it was a last resort to go to the chiropractor not least because of the expense but it definitely worked for me and now 6 years on I have no recurrence.

I have gone to a Chiropractor since a year ago when I had a whiplash incident.

You have a half hour session. You do some marching and stretching and then you lie down on a table. You get twisted about, trying to get your muscles to get challenged in a way that makes them start working in the way they are supposed to. He twists my neck and it makes alarming clicking sounds but I always feel more freedom of movement afterwards. I don't understand why people are down on Chiropractors. Mine is great. I would recommend him but I am in Scotland not London.

How did you get on with the towel? A friend gave me that tip, not the Chiropractor, but we both have whiplash injuries. It does help.
