Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Back Pain

I was looking for an alternative to drug therapy for my back pain, which is caused by arthritis that has formed in my disc from a accident 20 teRs ago. I saw a back tradition device in my search but cannot find that site again. Gravity is my worst enemy. Epidural so do not work and surgery is dangerous...could leave me paralyzed. I think traction might work. Do you know the device I mention?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

There are several options of treatment for back pain.

I recommend using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.

I also recommend doing stretching exercises.

If the symptoms continue you should consult a neurologist for further evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
