Chiropractor or physical therapy for lower back problems?
I have often reoccuring back pain and all the Dr. wants to do is give me muscle relaxers which don’t do much at all.
The chiro will do alignment and help with some heat and ultrasound, and go your merry way. The physical therapist will do the same..except for the alignment, heat,stim, ultrasound and the difference is that…they work with giving you some exercises to do either at their office or at home.
You dont say what type of problem is that you have, back pain, could be muscle spasm, trigger points, you might have a disc problem, nerve problems, but you dont indicate so its hard to say what you can do or not do.
But for the moment you can strengthen your back with stretches and exercises. You can try going to see a massage therapist, they work wonders, massage is not only to relax a person, they are trained to work muscles and decrease pain and increase range of motion. If you have a school nearby of massage try going to them, they are very inexpensive and they can help you.
Good luck and feel better ^i^♥♥♥
