Suggest Treatment For Chronic Back Pain
Hi, I am 19 years of age and I have been having chronic back pain in the lower and mid part of my back. I have been to physical therapy as well as seeing a chiropractor, but those only seem to be temporary fixes. My question is what do you think is wrong with my back. Other doctors said it has to do with a muscle. Its frustrating to me because, whenever I do visit the doctors or physician assistant they tell me the same thing of going to therapy regardless of me telling them i have been there and nothing seems to work. I am looking for something that can help rid the pain in my back since that i have had for about 6 or 7 years now. Also as a side note I have been diagnosed with a minor form of scoliosis I am not sure if that has something to do with it. Thank you, Austin

Hi Austin you are 19 and have been suffering from back pain for 6-7 yrs, with minor scoliosis, pain relieved temporarily after visiting a chiropractor.To me , you are suffering from ,what we call "growing pains" in the spinous preocesses of vertebra. you need mild pain killers , spinal extension exercises and hot packs-- the pain will wear off gradually.
