I am a 52 year old male with a c5 incomplete injury. Over the last couple of year the muscles in my left lower back and abdomen have tightened greatly. I am currently trying botox injections and have had limited success. The tightness causes me to constantly pull left. There is no pain, just discomfort. I am able to walk with crutches but this condition makes it much harder. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on treatment for this?

Acupuncture helps me with tightness.

Acupuncture also helps me. Plus stretching the tighter side and strengthening the weaker side. Deep muscle massage also seems to help.
