Everyone is an individual and treatment should as well be individualized.

My own experience. For year's, nothing helped me. Then, I finally found a good pain dr. in 2007. She sent me in to, recieve nerve blocks, in my neck. She put me on good pain meds. I was severely injured by a chiropractor in 1996. For year's I was not believed, or helped. I was bullied by drs. The one good pain dr, that I finally found, helped change my life. I still have pain, but I'm much better. I swim, which I could not do, for years. Physical therapy helped, but b4 I had good pain dr, Physical therapy made me worse, not better. Finding the right dr, is key. It's not easy, these days.
