Just a small part of my PTSD involves having had 2 concussions within 10 months of each other in 2007. With the 2nd, my posture deteriorated so bad, that in six months, my back and hips went out, and I couldn't walk. It took about 3 months to relearn how to walk again, and since then, I am on my 2nd chiropractor, still dependent on adjustments that don't seem to last.
Recently, I've been seeing an alternative physician, who used muscle testing on me. He commented that I may have bones out of place in my head. Also other tests show that I am still weak structurally. I am dismayed at this diagnosis, as it looks like my current chiropractor cannot help me with my greatest problem, and that is a remaining forward head position that causes mild painful kyphosis, lower back pain, sciatica pain down my legs, and tendonitis/ carpal tunnel syndrome in my hands/arms.
I've been investigating around the internet for a few days trying to help understand how I can help myself, or who can help me with this. I've come across cranial sacral, NCR (neuro cranial restructuring), the Alexander technique, general exercises, a device called the posture Jac, and the list goes on.. Anyone try these?
I would love to hear from anyone on this forum who has been through an accident, a concussion, and would like to know how you recovered or if you are still recovering. I didn't know this before, but a bad skeletal structure can really affect and wreck your brain stem and nervous system, and so I know it is crucial that I find answers. Psychotherapy is just one side of the coin for me.
Thanks so much :rolleyes: Tija
