im not suggesting this will solve everything... but i had back problems for several years. I went to multiple chiropractors and while they were able to temporarily help, they were not able to completely alleviate the problem.

i then went to a back doctor and he figured out that i had one leg that was something like 2 centimeters longer than the other. he fitted me for orthotics and my back never hurt again... instant cure for what bothered me for years.

he also had some machine where i would lay down and he would strap me in around the chest and at my feet, and it would slowly stretch me and then release over and over

not sure what that machine was called.. it hurt like fuck when it was doing it, but it helped stetch me out nicely


but first thing i would do is check if you need orthotics. my mom struggled with back pain as well for years, and once i told her about my orthotics she went and got checked and needed some too... her back pain went away immediately as well

i also did some back strenghtening exercises which im sure helped as well, especially if you are someone that finds themselves sitting in front of a computer all day, your back muscles will shrink

its worth a shot, and a lot cheaper than multiple trips to the chiro. and definitely try them before you start swallowing whatever pain meds people in here are suggesting. if you do decide to use pain meds, go with the best... weed ;)

good luck
