Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Chiropractors have provided relief to some individuals, but if you understand the condition you have you will understand that this issue cannot be treated simply by massages, repositioning, changes in posture, etc.

It can may be provide you with some amount of temporary relief sir, but nothing permanent. I would like to ask if you have discussed surgery to be an option to put you out of the distress that you are under?

Please also feel free to write to me about anything, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
