I'm receiving manual treatment to address widespread structural problems (partially detailed in a blog post
here). It is administered by a doctor (D.O.) specializing in neuromusculoskeletal medicine (NMM), which is basically the U.S. version of a cranial osteopath. They're licensed to practice the full scope of medicine but typically find there's no need for drugs or other approaches because this treatment heals so many issues. It isn't about throwing something new a the body but rather to unwind physical blockages interfering with the body's proper functioning and normal healing process.
So, for example, my extreme allergies, food sensitivities, and MCS (porelain environment, gas mask, etc) are all receding on this treatment. Not because the treatment addresses them directly, but because my body is setting about the process of healing itself.
My PEM, previously my worst symptom, relieved when enough structural tension - that is, strains on my body keeping tissues tense 24/7, which I was previously unaware of - was released through treatment. I found that when PEM hit, I could lay down and it all instantly melted away into blissful rest.
That's the way normal, healthy bodies process fatigue.
I could go on about the various kinds of improvement but I've already written about it
here,
here,
here, and
here. I never would have guessed that I had any major structural issues, let alone something as extreme as my skull being compressed inwards or my ribcage unable to fully expand. Other practitioners in the field such as chiropractors and regular osteopaths missed at least 98% of my structural problems. So it's important to get an osteopath who practice it as their primary or, ideally,
only specialty. They're the ones able to identify the problems specifically and open the way for patients to get well.
