After 10 Years of Joint Problems Can One Month of Physical Therapy “cure” Me?

Question by liquidcharm: After 10 years of joint problems can one month of physical therapy “cure” me?
An occupational doctor seems hopeful but I doubt it very much.
The joint pain I have is in my neck which affects the alignment of my ribs. My pelvis does not stay in place as well as several other vertebrae in several areas of my spine. Things just don’t stay aligned and then nerves get pinched off and muscles get twisted. The neck pain causes major headaches much of the time and I’ve been to the chiropractor many many times throughout these 10 years and nothing has been a permanent fix.

Without knowing more information, the answer is no, it cannot ‘cure’ you. Make you feel better for the short-term, maybe, but not cure you. What kind of joint pain are you having? Sounds like arthritis.

It sounds doubtful, but it depends on your problem and the skill of the doctor. I had a tailbone problem for about 15 years and 2 chiropractic adjustments in one week fixed it. Also I take nutritional products from Springtime inc (Joint Health for people) that takes care of a painful a ligament problem in a few days.
