Just before diagnosed I used traditional massage, Trager massage, regular PT and a naprapath as well as Chiropractor. While all helped somewhat here and there overall I was disappointed. I also tried all types of pain ointments. Nothing worked. I did get some relief from serrapeptase as well as hbot and a pemf mat. I currently use hbot and the pemf mat extensively along with the prednisone to keep the dose down and heal more quickly I hope. I think they help.
