Angela,Have you ever tried hot castor oil packs. They are an Edgar Cayce remedy which has been thorughly reseached by Dr. William McGarry in his book "The Oil That Heals". I have had personal experience with this approach in addition to chiro treatment for back pain and loss of function in the arm. A second method I have used is flotation in a pool of epsom salts (a saturated solution) This state of weightlessness relieves the tension on the muscles. I follow this with a deep pressure massage. Hope this helps. Bill
