Hi Steve, sorry didn't see your post. I've been in practice 20 years. Right out of school went back and did Diplomat orthopedics, got Board-Certified. Did most of the Chiro Rehab until they cancelled it at LACC. Did the Foot care/Orthotics at Clevland LA in '96. Everything I do is really mainstream, have a gym in the office w/emphasis on rehab as most of my patients are straight referal from several ortho's, neuro's and other medical practitioners in my area who demand rehab as well as manipulation. Also one of the first in California to obtain fluoro permit, own a C-arm so I do occasional dynamic fluoroscopies. Those are really cool.

Unfortunately, I don't use any non-manual methods and have no experience with them so I'm really out to lunch right now with someone running my practice and fortunate enough to buy a couple of personal income policies years ago. I never thought I would be in this position of not being able to work!

I'm only 52 (when you get to be 52, you'll still think your 27 too), worked out all the time so surgery made sense to me too to get back to the things I love to do. Activator might be a great option for you if you HAVE to work. If your ART certified, can you still do that? If all I had to deal with was the pain, I think I could still pull a lot of this off but with the neuropraxia from the brachial stretch injury, there is just no strength left of my right arm. Should come back though I hope..
