Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I went to the chiropractor today but he quite didn't answer my question. so he said the R5 (hip) needed realigned so he just popped all my bones. I get this lower back pains constantly so do I need a procedure done or just go to the doctor and get my back popped for ever. I have suffered with these pains since I was about 17 and now im 24. what could be the cause of this?

Hello, Thanks for your query. From description , it seems you might developed muscular or ligamentous strain over back area. I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Meanwhile following measures will help with the pain • Lie on a hard bed. • Anti -inflammatory drugs like Tablet Motrin 1 tablet as and when required • Avoid forward bending. • Avoid strenuous activity & lifting heavy weights. • Apply diclofenac gel on the affected area. Warm compresses will also help. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
