Subject: RE: BS: Trapped Nerve - help
There are some gentle yoga nd tai chi movements which help when mine acts up, plus the pillow between the knees at night, to keep things in alignment.

I was on the regimen of muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatories for over 15 years, off and on, when I finally got fed up, started gentle exercises, watched the posture etc. as Spaw said, and used topical treatments such as Arnica and Tiger Balm.

I would not recommend a chiro. An osteopath is an MD, plus knows manipulation, so it seems a lot safer and I prefer their type of manipulation, BUT a good massage therapist can do WONDERS over them all and a good chiro or osteo will send you for masage therapy, too.

Hope it is getting better.:-)
