Randy: Good point. Agree 100%

NA in DC: Some NA practitioners are more aggressive and/or more experienced than others. In addition, each instance of DC is (somewhat) unique such that the "optimal" treatment may vary somewhat from case to case.

When I had NA done some 3 years ago I eschewed the opportunity to use a local practitioner here in Los Angeles (despite positive forum feedback, albeit primarily relative to "mild" cases - at that time ) in favor of flying up to San Francisco to see Dr. Denkler. who was, and is, one of the leaders (e.g. highly experienced, relatively "aggressive") of the NA movement.

I had a single finger 90 degree PIP contracture. In my case, it turned out to be a GREAT decision. But each person needs to make his or her own decision.

Flojo,

I did not have my NA done in LA. At the time. Dr. Benhaim was just getting started and according to certain sources was not doing PIP NA's. There were also no reports of an NA practitioner in Long Beach at the time. After slow and careful deliberation (as I am extremely adverse to all things medical), I opted to fly up to SF and have NA performed by Dr. Denkler, which turned out to be just about the best decision I ever made - full stop. I never though that my finger would "look normal" again after having been so bent for so many years.
