What Treatment I Should Take For The Sound Coming From My Lower Back When I Walk ?
I have been diagnosed with degeneration of the spine. I have had 3 injections into my lower spine that relieved the pain for a short time. I also have sciatica . I have had a nerve test done and the Dr. said he didn t see anything that would warrant surgery. I now have a popping sound everytime I walk, it is loud enough for others to hear. I don t like to take alot of pain medication, I usually take aleve only. Do you think a Chiropractor could help? Thank you!

please consult orthopaedic surgeon and get mri done and go for the best treatment as advised by doctor .investigations like mri will detect the any pressure or narrowing of spinal canal and any other foraminas transmitting the nerves from the spinal canal being affected by the degenerative process and will decide the type of treatment
