I'm sure you know that all your issues/injuries are likely related, something I learned from my sports chiro. I actually have two chiros - one I've been seeing since my last pregnancy ten years ago, and one more recently who specializes in sports medicine (he also does ART and Graston). Both are wonderful. And both amaze me with the things they are able to discern, so that I go OH YEAH, so that's why that's been hurting! My sports med guy told me that I have a roughly three quarter inch leg length discrepancy, which explains the major buildup of scar tissue in the foot of the longer leg, as well as recurrent sciatica on that side. I hope you are able to get some answers from your doc!! With regard to flexibility, do you ever do yoga? I used to practice a lot and when I did I rarely, if ever, had back pain and didn't have any running until I stopped (I had a hard time fitting it into my schedule). It's so good for allover strengthening and flexibility.Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09922062201950752540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-30655642723866362062012-12-10T22:13:47.189-06:002012-12-10T22:13:47.189-06:00Glad you were able to get some answers but I know ...Glad you were able to get some answers but I know the scoliosis part is a little frustrating. My husband had major issues with scoliosis in high school and college but saw a chiro regularly and did strength and back exercises daily. He was able to work through all of his issues within a year. I know every case is different but I hope you are able to learn what can help your situation so you can get working on it. If anyone can get through it I'm sure you can!Tiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865099182609959790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-78712039256796094482012-12-10T19:15:05.619-06:002012-12-10T19:15:05.619-06:00I hope you have a positive experience with this ch...I hope you have a positive experience with this chiro! I started seeing one this summer to help with some minor knee pain. He did ART therapy and it honestly worked wonders for me. I just saw him last week as my knee/calf were feeling wonky.

My hubs has scolioses, wore a brace in HS which corrected it partly, but it is still there. I think with a good regimen of strength training and flexibility you will be fine; it does not seem that the scoliosis is too severe? With my husband you can really see it by looking at his back. Good luck!Ana-Maria RunTriLivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06277465990759801560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-44057499392241766302012-12-10T13:18:15.997-06:002012-12-10T13:18:15.997-06:00Whoa, lots learned!

But I guess the point of that story is, there ARE good ones out there who care about their patients. I had a lot of success with chiropractic for a past hip injury. Hopefully your visit was helpful in some way!!<br /><br />Also, holy nuts to all your injuries. I'm so sorry to hear about the ham tear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-84999308922010940602012-12-10T08:43:46.684-06:002012-12-10T08:43:46.684-06:00It sounds like you got a lot out of the visit, act...It sounds like you got a lot out of the visit, actually. And I don't see you stopping the sport, so I guess it's a matter of figuring out how to make it work for you.

My brother has scoliosis and is an overweight out of shape smoker and his Dr. and Chiropractor told him that the best way to deal with his chronic back pain is to exercise, stop smoking, and lose 50 lbs.
