[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 267416"] I wouldn't rule out a chiropractor. However, I would look to find one that has experience with back pain. Ask around for someone who has been to one and who trusts this person. Also, I think back pain involves many different issues. Normally, I would hesitate to take strong pain medications...but if the pain is severe....I see no reason not to ask and to take something strong for very bad pain for a short period of time. In the meantime, efforts should be made to try something almost simulatenously to get things better. Maybe a few days rest...then off to a chiropractor...also acupuncture might be a good thing to try/consider, etc. My husband has had some nice results by walking daily, taking vitamins, wearing excellent quality shoes, keeping a good attitude and taking Naproxen as needed. Those patches...Salonpas...can be helpful. However...he (husband) is open to see a Chriropractor at any given point. He would even see a surgeon...should it be necessary...but is hoping alternative measures will do the trick. So far, he is getting nice results. (He formally did it all...pain pills...shots, epidurals..you name it.) If your husband is willing to listen...Frank Sarno books are MOST interesting. Walking and a good attitude are key. He doesn't believe in Naproxen...but husband uses it "as needed." husband has made remarkable progress in about a month. [/QUOTE]
