PT: There is an emerging consensus that if OTC pain relievers don't work, physical therapy should be the next step for back pain. Injections, cryotherapy and radio ablation should probably be last resort measures short of surgery

Distressing ...: Chronic back pain is discouraging. It is often difficult to pinpoint the precise cause, requires investment in self-care and PATIENCE. It demands a multifactorial approach: proper evaluation/testing; proper physical activity (rest/walking); physical therapy eval/treatment; medication; ? TENS units; acupuncture; stress management; injections; surgery: Back Specialty Center is advised.
