They find it meaningless to restrict themselves to western medicine when it is possible to get relief from therapies such as acupuncture, massage, and chiropractic methods. These methods do not just treat you from the outside, but provides deep healing inside out. It treats the root of the disease and reduces stress so that you can spend a healthier life.
I had sustained a similar injury last year. At the time, I was experiencing deep-tissue massage (September 2013) and a deluge of massage work reduced the healing time from the doctor-predicted six weeks to less than three. But I have a performance to do in two days, and then one at the Bard College Spiegeltent five days later.
My husband calls Dr. Peter Lichtenstein (March 2011), a chiropractor and acupuncturist in New Paltz, who is also a swing dance student who had relieved my husband from pain for performances in the past. He sees me the next morning, hears my story, examines me and determines ribs nine and 10 are the culprits. He quickly outlines our healing plan.
