[QUOTE="maco, post: 642922, member: 41298"] Hi,saw your post.I'm a Chiropractor.I've worked on a lot of patients over the years with complaints similar to yours.A lot of them have been helped and I wish I could say all but that wouldn't be true.More than anything you need to understand what's going on with your low back.There could be multiple reasons for your symptoms.It could be a simple reason why your not healing and it could be something more involved.You want a qualified opinion maybe 2 even.3 months of symptoms suggest more than a muscular problem.Radiation of pain,like Sciatica,puts another spin on the problem.A Chiropractic approach is conservative because it doesn't del with drugs or surgery.I'm not saying drugs or surgery aren't an option just that Chiropractic doesn't go there in itself. Early morning,getting out of bed,stiffnes or increase pain suggests inflamation.Inflamation is a part of healing but you've hit a wall on healing and the inflamation is perpetuated.Pain is a warning from the body.It's also one of the first things to go away in the healing process.Inflamation,biochemically,excites muscle tissue to constrict.This is another feedback system to protect the area with splinting,naturally.Here's the thing.If you have no knowledge of Chiropractic then you might ask around your circle of family/friends of a Chiropractor who's on the ball.Go from there on what feels right.Maybe even give Chiropractic a chance.It also wouldn't hurt to get an Orthopedic evaluation.Usually this is covered on your medical plan where Chiro many times isn't.I'm not saying youra surgical canidate but the first step would be X-rays to eliminate fundamental problems as a cause.MRI is state of the art in soft tissue evaluation.That would be second in diagnostic and rules out disc involvment.Both a Chiropractor or nuerosurgeon use these diagnostic evals.But the approach on non-surgical patients differs between the two.Bottom line is you need to address the problem and find the cause,simple or complex.The sooner you resolve this the better in my opinion.Be sure your not doing something to keep the inflamatory procees going-stay away form the pain.Wishing you good health [/QUOTE]
