I have suffered from migraines, neck and upper back pain for years. I went to a Chiropractic practice who made the pain worst. I had to stop and cancel the following appts. I went to a PT who does this procedure and it really does work for these symtoms. I have not gone back for about a 1 1/2 year and my pains are coming back... Need to set up a few more appts... Not all PT's know how to do this procedure.
From someone who has had this done, I can say this is a most wonderful treatment - especially the traction afterwards! Think I'll call the RMT again.... :)
Funny what we chiropractors have been doing for 117 years is suddenly in the mainstream medical play book. Chiropractic has over 50 techniques both soft tissue and hard tissue. I wouldn't put my neck in the hands of someone who took a weekend course and called himself certified.
@chirovip58 And when these people who aren't skilled in the spine and nervous system injure a person, what is it reported as? "A chiropratictic manipulation injures.... Nebraska allows only a DC to perform spine work...pretty smart state huh?
This technique is being used for stress related headaches, or muscle relax therapy. Migraine is being considered (only theories no evidence for..) as a vascular problem so, obviously this won't work.
Anyone who has ever experienced this technique will tell you it is a nearly religious experience! I suffer migraines sometimes 4-5 times a week, and this is THE best way to chase those SOBs away...besides morphine!

Is there some sort of neck rest gadget out there that takes the place of the fingers, so that we could just lay on it at home?

cwolf...if you were a massage therapist or working in healthcare, you would know the underlying structures.

Excellent technique. I have used this for a few years now although my fingers only last about 2 minutes.

It'd help if he used a skeleton model so folks would understand the underlying structures.

This worked for me, but a neurologist did it. After the procedure I felt my brain had become refreshed....
I thought it was hooey, but it worked for me so now I believe it, and I am a hard ass skeptic...
