@donfeld @johnbishop I waited to answer so I could ask my physical therapist about this if myofascial release could help. She said that diet is important in reducing inflammation because inflammation makes tissue sticky which is the problem with AA. She said that there are some dural glides and craniosacral work techniques that can help and a therapist who knows how to do myofascial release will know how to do these techniques. I looked over the documents of Dr. Tennant and that makes sense to me. A lot of diseases start with inflammation. For example, hardened arteries start first with inflammation within the wall of the vessel itself, and later plaque and calcification attach to that on the inside surface and begin to clog the blood flow. Reducing inflammation goes a long way toward preventing a lot of disease. This is the way we all should eat anyway with lots of vegetables, quality proteins, and heart healthy fats and avoid the carbs and sugars.

I am a cervical spine surgery patient and prior to my surgery, my therapist was using a Dolphin Neurostimulator on the nerve roots in my neck to block the neurotransmitters for the pain signals. This did reduce pain for me and relieve muscle spasms for about a week. Also, there are other pelvic alignment issues that could add to the problems, and physical therapy can help physical alignment. Here is a link with information in case there is more to the issue. https://trainingandrehabilitation.com/identify-treat-lumbar-plexus-compression-syndrome-lpcs/
