What sort of thoracic spine injury and how did they diagnose it?

I dont know about you but if I had a spinal injury, I probably wouldnt be going to a chiro because all they do is spinal manips which isnt necessarily going to beneficial. Besides, if you have a good physio they should be able to do everything a chiro can do

Physio and Trigger Point therapist both said it was a thoracic spine facet joint injury.

I wanted to get an ultrasound last week but my GP told me to wait, maybe I should go back this week and just say I want one.

Different people are telling me different things, some people are suggesting chiro and others suggesting physio.

+1 for physio or myo as opposed to Chrio. (For me the Myo I have is head and shoulders above the physio's I've seen, they have the same anatomical understanding but also are fantastic at deep tissue massage and myofascial release techniques that the Physio doesn't go near.


I think a good SPORTS physio/Myo is better again, and there are people around my area who identify distinctly as such.

The (free) physio I see at the hospital for my ankle is always saying how great it's going but she's only thinking from a basic functionality point of view, can I walk and jog pain free for a bit? Yes then you're doing great compared to the last guy I saw who can't walk unassisted.

A decent sports centric therapist realises that you want hih level function, not just basic movement, and works towards that. I'm about to leave my free physio I think and head towards one of the sports specialists for higher level assessment and to work out how to help stop my bad foot rotating outwards and rolling inwards when load is placed on it, which f**ks squatting up badly for me, and also strains my god side as it carries much more of the load.

+1 for myo over chiro. There is one upstairs from work. I've had days where I could barely walk properly from back pain and after 30 mins on the table I'm much better. It hurts like hell while I'm getting wailed on, but afterwards I feel much better

  • 2 weeks later...

Hammy continues to be an issue despite dropping all leg work with the exception of walking for normal daily activities and walking the dog once a night, short walk, 2ks.

I note my lower back on the same side is tight and not moving freely also, similar spot to when I had the SIJ issue.

Is there a chance the hammy is being strained by poor mobility above and below it if that makes sense?

I might go back to the myo and get another hour session and this time not train the day after it thinking it's ace.

I had dry needling done, isn't that the same thing?

It's not quite the same thing; similar principle but trigger point doesn't use needles and allows the therapist to focus on one trigger point at a time. I feel trigger point enables the therapist to get deeper into the muscle fibres.

To me your hamstring sounds like an active trigger point; referring pain either locally or to another location along a nerve pathway.

To me my hamstring sounds like aids =\

Might have to cut it off.

Hahaha awwwww Dan!

If it helps I'm feeling the exact way about my shoulder blade atm

The thought of slicing it open is actually relieving to me lol

However, since my last physio visit on Friday (this physio was a hundred times better) it's actually feeling better than it's ever been. She said she hasn't come across someone so stiff in the thoracic spine before :( She loosened me up and manipulated me. I had an intense migraine for 2 days but feeling a lot better today; just constant cracking.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
