A member asked:
I have awful muscle aches in my lumbar region, it has caused the rest of my back to compensate & start to hurt as well. should i see an orthopedic doctor before seeing a chiropractor? im 21 & lift heavy at my gym which i suppose started all of this?

Ongoing back pain is best diagnosed by Orthopedic doctors; Chiropractors “do not diagnose.”Onset of back pain after weight lifting suggests the sufferer should ask a Sports Orthopedist to evaluate their back & advise what type and how much lifted weight is most appropriate for ongoing exercise. Pain is a warning sign. The human back is not bio-engineered for efficient “crane lifting” functions.
