Could Discomfort Along The Waist Line Be Due To Misalignment Of Bones?

Yes. I have had for a year or two, an annoying discomfort towards my back about waist level on the left side. Any suggestions what might be causing this? I was told a year ago by a massage therapist that it is because my body is not in proper alignment. Thoughts?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I would like to know your age.

Annoying discomfort on your left side can be due to bony problems for which it's preferable to get an x-ray of the Dorso-lumbar spine and Lumbo-sacral spine done.

If these comes out to be normal,i would like you to get an x-ray of the KUB to rule out any kidney and bladder problems which may also be causing you the same.
Meanwhile,you can opt for physiotherapy and putting on a lumbar belt along with some amount of rest for relief.
Avoid lifting heavy weights and bending forward.
Visit an orthopedician if these measures do not help.
