For Persistent Lower Back Pain, Should I Visit Pain Management,neurologist Or Somewhere Else?

i have lower back pain since 18 months. I went under physiotherapy, dry needling, electric stimulation treatment but the pain goes temporarily and starts back. i got these treatments at three different places for couple of months (each place). Now you suggest me where to go - pain management, neurologist or somewhere else.

Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
Pain in the low back can relate to the bony lumbar spine, discs between the vertebrae, ligaments around the spine and discs, spinal cord and nerves, muscles of the low back, internal organs of the pelvis and abdomen, and the skin covering the lumbar area.
Since you have underwent physiotherapy and tried three different places so I would suggest to consult a neurologist.Get USG, MRI done becuse treatment of low back pain should be directed toward a diagnosed specific cause.
Hope this helps!
