Hi,
Seamus Dalton is a good doctor. I am glad you are happy with your physio.
You have all 3 articles by Burkhart.
Can't really do much for the Thoracic spine without seeing you. If you trust your physio and Seamus is happy with them, then go with what they say.
I have always told my patients, if we don't get results, i will refer them on. Your case sounds interesting and complicated though...
Which area of Sydney are you from?? North shore, city etc?
