How Can I Confirm A Tear In Lower Back?
It is my belief that I torn a tendon in lower back 13 years ago, I have recurring LB pain 5 days in duration, 4-5 times a year with low grade L4 rights side pain. I was told by two chiropractics that I have bi tropic facets L4-L5. All tests and neuro surgeons say my back looks good for a 53 yo. I believe I have facet sydrome and rotational instability,subluxation. What or who would you suggest. Bill
