What do you think of these treatments for back pain?

February 28th, 2010 admin

I was going to a doctor and having problems with my back. I will list some of the treatments and please let me know if you have heard of them. Please no jokes.

-Leaning into the doctor’s lap while he runs his fingers through your hair.

-Manipulating back by hugging

-Pressing on the pubic bone with one hand while keeping other hand under me and rocking my pelvis.

All these thing are done while I’m resting on my back.

Sometimes I felt these things were not professional by the manner in which they were done. Has anyone ever had these things done to them by their doctors?

They could have been completely legitimate treatments (possible but unlikely) or you could have completely been taken advantage of – in either case if your doctor ever does ANYTHING to make you feel uncomfortable you should definitely let them know and ask them to stop.

In your case I’d be submitting a complaint, asking for an inquiry, and definitely start looking for a new doc!

    I am completely blown away by this question. This does not sound like appropriate treatment for back problems. How is running his fingers through your hair helping your back? I would take your mom or dad or friend with you and see if he uses these same "treatments." OR I would report him to somebody. If it is a big practice, he has a boss. If he is in private practice, I would report him to the police or social services. Never at any point should you have your head in his lap. Please be careful!

    I have a back injury from a previous job, and have been to lots of Dr’s over the course of 3 years and have never done any of those things listed, nor would I ever do those things, sounds like you dr is pervy. I really shocked that a professional dr would have you do those kinds of things, I would see about getting his butt in trouble so he isn’t doing that nonsense to others.
