Back Pain

[GuernseyMatt]

Anyone got any suggestions (other than see a Doctor or Chiropractor) for relieving pain in the lower back?

Dear Sir,

Sorry, I can’t give you any suggestion, but I have searched some articles for you (please check the link below), which may give you some clues in this field. You see, there no catholicon for even the same symptom, because even the same symptom can be caused by all kinds of illness. Take back pain as an example, there may be the bony spur, the chronic strain in the back muscle, the strain of the nervous tissue in spinal cord, necrosis, bone cancer and so on, that cause the pain. Without some professional knowledge, how can you tell each condition apart and choose the proper treatment? Without knowing your true conditions which doctor/man dares give you any suggestion? I think it is important to suit the remedy to the case!

Anyway, good luck!

很抱歉，我不能给你任何建议，但我帮你找了一些文章可以让你对这方面的事有些了解。（请参看下面的连接。）就算是同一种症状也没有万灵药，因为即便是同一种症状也可以由多种不同的病引起的。就拿背痛来说吧，这痛可能是骨刺、慢性腰肌劳损、脊椎神经劳损、骨质坏死、骨癌等等引发的。没有专业知识，你能分清哪是哪啊，你知道该选什么治疗方式才是合适的？不知道你的真实情况，哪个医生/谁敢给你建议啊？我认为重要的是要对症下药啊！

不管怎样，祝你好运！

So very kind of you,

Thanks

There are so many variables. Suggest you go to the following site which has a health forum. Many have shared their experiences. Maintaining really good posture and strengthening muscles is often the key to long term relief.

Thanks Ken,

A very interesting web site in many ways.

I have been attending a Chiropractor since making my initial post and am feeling not only "normal", but decidedly great .

Its amazing the amount of discomfort people (me) will tolerate and allow to become "the norm". Its a typical case of "I didn't know how bad I felt, until I felt better"

From my recent experience, I would never go to a general practice medical doctor for back pain ever again, but straight to a specialist Chiroprator.
