Pulled a back muscle

It is ice for first 24 then heat.

I don't suggest a chiropractor as they are not physicians and they only work on aligning your back. An Osteopath is a physician who works on manipulating the muscles and entire body then aligns if needed.

The foremost Osteopath is in Syosset. He is the past president of the OSO (which is equal to the AMA) and Associate Chairman of the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine. He has also written several books and lectures at many colleges.

Stuart, you said you went to see a doctor not an osteopath. A doctor won't do what a osteopath would do (as you already know). Is he doing any manipulation?

An injury will take as long as is needed to work itself through. A sprain is tearing of the ligaments. A strain is tearing of muscles or tendons which needs time to heal itself. Trying to force the matter may just make it worse. The osteopath can help if the muscles are spasming which could be the cause of your pain.

Your Osteopath doesn't happen to be Dr. Gleyzer?
