This article will "inflame" some of my colleagues and that's ok because for the most part, it's telling the truth. For a great deal of us, we have to find or apply the right tool for the job and that same tool might not work as well down the road. The same way antibiotics do not help a virus and a roofer usually doesn't need a welder (usually, or in most cases, you don't trust the roofer with the welder unless they are also forklift certified, but I digress).
In my time "fighting" back pain, I've learned a few things. Some Doctor's, from all walks of life, don't always know the condition, and that's OK. Find a Chiro, a Physical Therapist, an MD or DO, an acupuncturist, a PA, an NP, a massage therapist, a personal trainer, etc who actually knows and treats back pain or openly refers to someone who does.
Yes, I put Chiro first because I'm biased, but I'm also completely open to the fact that Chiro is not always the answer, it's not always as simple as your taxes!
Happy March Madness, for some weird reason I'm pulling for Arkansas!
You’ve been through a thousand different treatments for your lower back pain and nothing seems to work. What should you do next?
