What is the normal treatment for chronic back pain?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: First step is education and trying to unlearn some popular misconceptions about back pain. Next engagement is some type of physical exercise is key. Use of physical therapy, massage, yoga, stress reduction and mind-body techniques are also very helpful. Try to decrease over-reliance on medications, particularly narcotic medications which appear to be rather ineffective and do more harm than good.

Variable: There is no normal treatment. A combination of medication, physical therapy, and minimally invasive injections is a good start.
