Brief Answer:
Pain usually subsides in 1-2 days.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
After a chiropractic adjustment the pain usually subsides in a day or two. The pain in the lower back is likely to be due to a lower back muscle spasm. You need to get oral muscle relaxants prescribed for relief. Hot compress and application of local muscle relaxants will also help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Theres some faint burning could that still be spasms or more like a pinched nerve and can those heal without surgery?

Thank you in advance

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The burning cold sensations can be due to a mild nerve root compression and can be relieved with oral muscle relaxants, rest and methylcobalamin supplements.
Hope my answer is helpful.
