I did my back this time last year, I was already on clonazepam and was given baclofen and panadeine forte 500mg paracetamol/30mg codeine and I was fine. A little spaced out but I was still in agony.

I had a couple of acupuncture sessions which helped then I got onto an myotherapist which finally ended my month of agony. My point being is that you can get extra exercises to do while you are sitting in the car, at your desk, at the dinner table or watching tv if you have the time. So you don't have to keep going back to pay out $50 for each visit. These little tips I received helped me so much. I know it's not the same predicament that you're in at the moment but I found a combo of east meets west worked really well for me.

I really like the fact that most osteopaths and myotherapists like to try and help you within 2-6 visits and don't want to see you again, compared to physio's and chiro's who want you coming back 2-3 times a week for how ever long. Don't get me wrong, if I sprained my ankle I would go straight to a physiotherapist, but for my back I would choose a myotherapist or osteotherapist 1st. My back isn't great from the work I do, so I have tried heaps of different therapies. I learnt after a while that I gain no relief for my back from physio or chiropractic work at all.

Check out this link, it gives you a very quick run down of what they do and how they work. Sorry it's an Aussie link but you'll catch my drift, I'm sure
