hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As you mentioned you have pain from 4 year's than it is a chronic back ache. For which a thorough neuromuscular assessment is guided. Based on which an MRI of the lumbar spine will be performed.
Also, medicine acts as a symptomatic relief to pain and aches. Once medicine is induced in the body, the physical therapist role come into existence. On which by application of the therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy the pain is still taken into control. After that the major role comes is to strengthen the muscles. as muscles are the supporting structures of the spinal bones, the need to strengthen them is of due importance.
Once the muscles of the core, pelvic Floor, spinal muscles and hip muscles become stronger the pain is under control. You can perform the exercises at home as it is needed in chronic stages to control the pain in longer run.
In my clinical practice I assist patient with three step therapy.
- rest
- Medication
- physical therapy.
Apparanlty we have 100% success rate of controlling the back pain and avoid future recurrence.
I wish the good health for you.
Regards
