i had back surgery to remove a herniated disk then was put on bed rest for 6 weeks after the surgery. now my back is super tight and painful. i just started going to rehab therapy and i am a very cooperative patient and want to get better.

i am tired of the pain, the muscle cramping is almost as painful as the nerve damage sustained from the injury before the surgery.

do you think it would be benificial to add massage therapy even though my insurance company won’t pay for it. will it help me get better faster?
michelle – what is reiki?
dr. k – i think that the rehab therapist is doing neuromuscular reeducation – but it sure was painful this first go-round.
