Any of you TBPI gotten any chiropractic adjustments for your BPI? Any secondary issues with your back? Its been 4 1/2 years for me and i am having a hard time iwth my back lately. I started seeing a chiropractor last week and it feels great! I Just have to prove to my insurance comp that this is related to my arm! Well my chiropractor does, she knows it is but to make the insurance comp understand that is a whole nother story!! Thanks!

Hi Court,
I hope you can get chiropractic care. I was diagnosed with Parsonage-Turner syndrome thankfully and my doc said that obviously other muscles are compensating for the atrophied shoulder muscles and this puts a heckuva strain on the rest of the back. I try to go every two weeks to my chiropractor and it really seems to help. I get stiff and sore in between visits, but I am thankful I don't have the severe pain anymore. God Bless you. Mark

I see a chiro. He helps with my back and my gait. He is also getting training for spinal/nervous system therapies. He hopes to alleviate the bpi pain that way.

Massage therapy helps a lot too.
