Opinions about chiropractic care versus physical therapy...
My current issue is a pelvic "pop" that I can feel but not hear when I walk, etc. and it does not hurt. I want to try to get it resolved because I want to start swimming on a regular basis.
Thanks!
A couple of questions to think about:
--The 9-12 months is "recovery" or "don't lift anything"? The former would seem very general.
--Can you get some help during recovery period? Once infant becomes a toddler, the lifting doesn't stop, but the child is heavier and more active. A long time to be in pain and dysfunction.
according to the Dr's here it would be 6 months laying down in bed, never being able to bend at the knees and hips at the same time, calling for a special "taxi" to pick me up if I need to go somewhere, while laying down. then after 6 months if the surgery was successful I can then start recovery. because of my athlete condiitoning they thought I could be back to working part time in 9 months and full time again in 12 months. so for me the laying in bed for 6 months is not very inviting.
the major BUT was that the surgery might not take the first time and require a second try. that would be 9-12 months in bed and 15-18 months before I was "back to normal" as well as they said they can not say to what percentage the pain will go away. it could be anything frmo 5-80% less....for me its not worth it. I would rather take some kind of over the counter drug the rest of my life than lose 1 yr....
maybe later on in life. only 33 yr olds.
