What Is The Treatment For Lower Back Pain?

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
