Low back pain can be sudden and severe. It can hurt so badly that it causes your brain and body to go into Emergency Mode.
In times like that it is important to stop and think about your choices.
If there isn’t anything life threatening going on – you’re not bleeding, there wasn’t a trauma of any kind – then you should find a comfortable position and put some ice on your back. Rest a bit. Maybe try to sleep it off.
If you wake up the next day in the same level of pain, then start thinking about other options. Medication, stretching, and what type of doctor to see for your pain.
A chiropractor can diagnose your pain pretty quickly, usually on the initial visit. A chiropractor can refer you for x-rays, or send you to a Physical Therapist, or send you to a Pain Management specialist. If you come in to our office we will examine and adjust you on day one. We probably take your insurance, and if we don’t we do offer affordable cash self-pay rates.
