What Is The Treatment For Back Pain?

I have scoliosis. I have had four surgeries. I basically had implants and then slowly got them all taken out. My curvature was 67 degrees and then was reduced to 15. After the last surgery my spine has curved 32 degrees. I have a huge hump in my right thoracic region. I have intense back pain all the time and I was diagnose with Kyphosis as well. Could you please give me any idea as to what my treatment would be like?

i understand your concerns, as you have mentioned that you had undergone surgery but what are that surgeries? that may be correction of scoliosis angle and to correct kyphosis, still you have some degree of kyphosis... so due to biomechanical postural abnormality the force will not be transferred evenly in all body parts and that is why you are feeling pain. currently i advised you to go for symptomatic relief from pain by doing physical therapy like you can take moist heat or IFT or ultrasound therapy for you painful back.
