A member asked:
My back pain does not improve using pain relief otc products. what should i do??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not surprising, as these products provide only modest impact. Chronic back pain is best handled by uncovering the pain generator and treating the precise problem. Helpful approaches include physical therapy, exercise, meditation, acupuncture, biofeedback, besides medications and/ or surgery. Start with your doctor, but a physiatrist, or an osteopathic specialist could be helpful.
