Suggest Treatment For Low Back Pain

I am a 24 yr old, healthy and active woman. In July, I was cleaning and took quite a hard fall and hit my back on the side of the bathtub. Ever since, my thoracics and lumbar has been a problem. I have been to the chiropractor repeatedly since and the problem always seems to come back within a week. I went to my doctor and he diagnosed a muscle sprain and put me on somas, but they do not help. Also, a few weeks ago I was putting on a pair of boots and heard a snap in my very lower back...followed by alot of pain. What should I do?

Hi,

It is quiet common to have these types of pain persisting for quiet a lot of time in absence of proper treatment. All you need to do is to give rest to your back, avoid over exertion and lifting heavy weights. Along with warm saline fomentation twice a day, consult a physio also for ultrasonic therapy. If all these doesn't proves to be effective then get an X-ray of the affected part done.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
