Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain
I have lower back pain. Seeing a chiropractor. I m in there less than 5 minutes. First day said my spine was off 2 inches. Second day he said it was off 1 inch. He pounds with fist right buttock then presses on spine two maybe three areas then says ok. Is he really helping? Have to go back Monday for 3d visit. Hurts to bend - can t put shoes or socks on. Hurts sometimes if I turn to left side I get a jabbing pain. I golf and bowl - 72.

Hi,
It seems that you might be having some degenerative changes in your lower spines giving this problem.
Go for x-ray lumbo-sacral region to find out the cause.
Go for physiotherapy like back extension exercises.
Take NSAID medicine like Diclophenac, paracetamol combination for pain.
Avoid bending from lower back.
Ok and take care.
