Abnormal position: You may have a pulled muscle or be out of alignment. Your back may even be out. You may find that a massage and /or seeing a chiropractor helps realign you and eliminate the pain. If not consider acupuncture and consider a gluten free diet as we are finding gluten is inflammatory.
