i resolved my back problems with some rest while it hurt too much, then by using it and building it up muscle wise... lots of surfing for me... well anything that involved using it.

It is much better.

No way i would go down the chiropractor / research it on the internet rabbit hole... not healthy physiologically speaking which in turn effects the physical as people are affraid to use it.

A doctor that can look at an MRI... if it is super bad andd has been going on for some time, even then it will get better. Most doctors don't understand sports people, especially if not super young... understand this - maybe go to a sports specialist and tell them the deal about how important kiting is - many doctors see being able to walk as success.. don't listen to them... need a doctor that understands this.

i'd go to see sports doctor specialist if i had the $$

Hey Ste,

A Very good sports doctor is Dr Jane Taylor. She is in Karrinyup. She is also a kiter as well as being sports doctor for the Fremantle Dockers. She was able to help me out recently when i was incapacitated when a few physio's seemed unable to tell me what was wrong and how to fix it. She nailed it forst try. Had an MRI to confirmand she was bang on. Prescribed the right medication and course of action. Good as new again.

Still Physio I'd see Coopes, but Dan Anderson is pretty top bloke and no doubt a good Physio that also kites.

Hope you mend well mate.

I would second the idea of seeing someone that works with sports injuries. I went to see a shoulder specialist who decided my pain was referred pain from the neck and sent me to a neck specialist who told me 'don't think of yourself as disabled' and 'there is not much we can do'. Great...

I got a second and third opinion from sports specialist orthopedic surgeons, and they both agreed it was likely to be a shoulder problem with the acromion impinging (in my opinion, probably from wakeboarding). The second guy operated on it and fixed the problem immediately, as in no pain the very minute I got out of surgery. The original guy would probably still be telling me it was referred pain, but the sports specialists see a lot more injuries from active people, so have probably a better chance of resolving it.
