GOING TO A CHIROPRACTOR AND/OR A MASSAGE THERAPIST

@tweetypie13
I am getting rid of my hot tub. Before being diagnosed with PMR, every time I used my hot tub, my entire body would hurt afterwards, like pins and needles. I finally tied it too PMR later. Also, I used to see an acupuncturist and had similar reactions of increased pain after treatments. I had seen her for several years with good results and then it all of a sudden it changed. Massage feels good to me though!

There are "medical massages" that are ordered by a doctor and covered by insurance. I thought a "deep tissue massage" was a medical massage but apparently it isn't.

According to artificial intelligence:
"Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that uses slow, firm pressure to reach deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, often used to treat chronic pain, injuries, and muscle tension. While sometimes used interchangeably, it differs from "medical massage," which is a targeted, results-oriented treatment often prescribed by a physician to address a specific medical condition."

All I know was that deep tissue massage helped me recover after post-prednisone PMR.
