So I was in a car accident two and a half years ago and suffered whiplash as a result. Just about every treatment out there I tried. Medications, chiropractic care, massage therapy, physical therapy, injections, trigger point injections, rhizotomy. The only thing that helped was time. For the first year I suffered constantly, but then the pain was periodic. Neck and shoulder pain that gave me a horrible headache. I would then just suffer flare ups. I can't say for sure what causes the flare ups other than the weather. Sometimes it doesn't seem like there was a particular reason. My shoulders would tense up and my neck would hurt. I would get a flare up a couple times a week, then it would be just a couple times a month. Well this flare up has lasted two and a half weeks and I was yet again getting desperate.
A friend of mine told me about Rossiter System. I am not sure if any of you have heard of it, but I recommend it if you can do it in your area. I tried the Rossiter last evening and I could immediately feel the pressure released from my shoulders. I am not going to lie, it was painful. But you get as much out of it as you put into it. He continues to apply pressure until you can't take any more and you tell him to stop, then while he is applying the pressure, you move different parts of your body which causes those muscles to tighten even more. Let me tell you, it was like a weight taken off of me. My shoulders feel so much more loose than ever before. I still have a headache, but it is not as severe. The pressure is completely gone from my shoulders, but not in my neck. I am considering going back to the chiro to address the neck. I may go do the Rossiter again, just to stretch those muscles even more so.
So if you have a lot of tension in your shoulders, I recommend Rossiter. Rossiter helps with all sorts of areas of the body, to include your lower and upper back as well as your knees.
I am sure Rossiter is not for everyone, but it might be worth looking into for some people.
Very painful .. I recall my family doc .. pressing the top of my shoulders and I almost went through the roof of his office , the pain was excruitiating ... I was not in his office for any treatment either .... I believe he was testing me for fibromyalgia at that time .. and oh gawd oh gawddddddddddddddddddddddd... the pain was out of this world . I have the pain you talk of .. but to go through that pain again .. yuck .. I dont really believe I could do this treatment .. oh gawddddddddddddddd very painful .
