    tmac's been asked about game 7,what we need,any news on our biggest concern,his back?

    i read an interview with earlier this season that the waco doctor had "exciting new methods we cant wait to try this summer"

    i hope he finds the time to do it this summer,it bugs me when players get surgery during presason and mis the first few weeks of the season instead if getting it done in time to start.

    patterson doesn't just work on his back. he starts out w/ his knees, which are not even, as a result, puts more pressure on his back.

    so that's why u didn't see any more back spasms. he treats tmac's entire body and makes him feel healthy as he has ever been. now he just has to get over that mental block and absorbs contact better.

    i thnk TMAC needs a sports psyc to get over his mental problems...the last 5 minutes of game 7 was all in his head...if he would have drove to the basket, we would have won...simple as that

    I hear an interviev with Tracy and he said his body feels great and he doesn't have any problems with his back since he found Patterson. He also said they're still workin' on his back to make it stronger. No worries, T-Mac is healthly

    I think what ever this guy did... he did a good job...

    we didnt see Tmac go down once... since he went to see this doctor...

    I couldnot watch that 32 game stretch.... because everygame.... I was dreading Tmac going down... because of the work load he was taking on.....

    I am originally from a town about 20 minutes from Waco. Dr. Patterson has treated many pro-athletes yet from what I have been told he is not a chiropractor he is a medical Dr. and takes most insurances so I'd tell your friend to give it try. I think the biggest problem would be that he is booked solid so if your a non-athlete you might have to wait.... :)

    Just curious. Is Dr.Patterson a rehab dr., orthopedic surgeon or sports psychologist if he is not chiropractor?

    he's not like a real doctor, he does stuff with magnets and things like that. After the whole thing with Trace, my father took my mother to him for her knee. It's not something that insurance covers as its not recognized medicine. He does things with magnets and stretching and things like that...very new age.

    So he is doing alternative medicine. It only works for people who believes. Thanks for the information.

    yeah i remember seeing this on the news or reading about this doctor. he found out that it wasn't really tmac's back per se but the misallignment of his knees caused by the fact that he has flat foot. i'm just glad he was able to 'snap' him back into good health.

    i think the reason t-mac doesnt try to dunk on people anymore and be that explosive is beacause of his back he is a team player and know he is the key to winning.
