How To Reduce My Back Pain?
Back pain I was in a car accident in August of this year and I m still experiencing a large amount of lower back pains. My M.R.I has read that my L3-4 L4-5 has disc tares. I m in physical therapy but it s not doing any justice. What can I do to minimize my lower back pains?

Hello,
I had gone through the case and found that only physiotherapy will not help.
You need to avoid forward bending and long time sitting or standing in one position.
Take mild painkiller and apply muscle relaxant gel at bedtime.
Also take calcium once a day for 3 months.
Hope my advise will be effective for you.
Thanks
