After three back surgeries over a course of nearly 30 years and frequent relapses into the hell of back pain, I thought that I had exhausted all modalities of treatment.
But on the recommendation of a good friend who is a trainer of men and women "of a certain age", I decided to give Airrosti a chance to address my back problems. My antennae were up when I learned that Airrosti practitioners are chiropractors.
My experience with chiropractors in the past two decades had resulted in aggravation to the injuries for which I'd sought treatment. I was reluctant to subject myself to skeletal manipulation and the recent fad amongst chiropractors-the drop table.
I was able to get in to see Dr. Escamilla at the Bellaire, Texas Airrosti location. Dr. E explained to me the way in which Airrosti therapy differs from conventional chiropractic treatment and remedies available through orthopedic surgeons, neuro surgeons and other practitioners of mainstream medicine.
If you are suffering from an ailment that is bone related, it will likely show up on X-ray or an MRI. What isn't visible through radiography is damage to soft tissue, i.e., muscle, fascia, ligaments and tendons. My diagnosis from radiography was that there was nothing visible to which my incapacitating pain could be ascribed. My debilitating pain was not psychosomatic.
Even an M.D. with the highest credentials couldn't ascertain what the cause was. Based on my symptoms and the way I winced when when he touched me in areas that hurt, Dr. Escamilla said that my suffering was likely from deep muscle and fascia strain.
There is one modality of treatment which no conventional physician charged with the curing of patients seems to use, other than to diagnose- be it enlarged prostate or a lump in the breast or elsewhere. That is touch.
The manipulation of a painful part of one's body by hands that are trained to address maladies is beneficial for those who may be suffering from them.
Airrosti employs the simple modality of touch to diagnose and treat pain. There's no cutting or popping or sticking or flopping one's body on a drop table for noise, smoke, mirrors and zero effect.
I left Dr Escamilla's office in less pain and, most importantly, with renewed hope that after many dollars, many pain shots, bottles of pills that stupefied me, there is hope that my severe pain might finally be beneficially addressed. read more
