What do you think is the best treatment for bad back condition. Acupuncture or physiotherapy?

We Answered:

Physio is as good as anything, but overall outcomes from back pain managements are a bit hit and miss whichever option you pick.

Recent studies of acupuncture failed to show that it was any better than random needle insertion, and thus merely a potent placebo.

What to expect during physiotherapy after a colles fracture. How long before my wrist and hand feel normal?

We Answered:

Please pay close attention to what is being said here. The hand after such a fracture is often stiff and swollen. Movement of the fingers can be painful and scary. Follow what the therapist is asking of you especially at home. There are things that can be done to ease the movement of the hand and fingers. One such technique is to use a system of mirrors. This system actually fools the brain in what it is seeing and makes the hand more easier and with less pain. There are modalities that can also be used to improve movement and drain the swelling. The important part of this is to see that there is progress being made. If for some reason the hand just refuses to get better to the point where touching it is just too painful you are going to have to see a pain specialist. Do not fool with this as it can lead to major problems. The vast majority of these fractures respond nicely and just take time to get over the swelling and stiffness. The more that you work the hand and treat it as normally as possible the faster one recovers from this. Just keep those fingers moving as much as possible all of the time.
