Question
Whenever I get sick, I have bad lower back pain. Taking Advil doesn't really do very much. What can I do to help stop the pain?

Answer
David,

Low back pain is a complex collection of many disorders, diseases, and syndromes. Most commonly, disc, joint, and muscle disorders are the cause of low back pain conditions.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say you get "sick"... are you referring to a common cold infection, a flu, or another disease?

The key to effectively treating low back pain is in establishing an accurate diagnosis. I recommend that you consult with a Doctor of Chiropractic who can take your medical history, perform the appropriate examination, and recommend any other procedures that might be needed to further investigate the cause of your symptoms.

I hope that this information is helpful to you.
