What do you do when your back has been sore for a long time and you have tried everything to help it?

Answer 1

Have you tried spinal manipulation? Spinal manipulation, often refered to as a chiropractic adjustment, is the specialty of doctors of chiropractic (DC), but is also increasingly being performed by doctors of osteopathy and physiotherapists, especially as research continues to show areas where spinal manipulation has value. Research has definitivly shown that spinal manipulation is effective for the treatment of many causes of Back pain, neck pain and tension-type headaches, and can also act as a form of short-term pain relief for shoulder, elbow, hip and knee pain. If you have already been to a chiropractor then I will assume you have also been informed on the benefits of regular exercise for back pain, as a recommendation for exercise would be a component of any reputable chiropractors treatment plan. Exercise is by far the most conservative, cost-effective, and effective therapy for chronic pain.

If you have not tried chiropractic, a visit to a doctor of chiropractic would be my suggestion, along with motivating yourself to stay active. A minimum of 30 minutes to an hour of moderate to high intensity activity 3 to 5 days a week should be part of everyones approach to having optimal quality of life.
