A member asked:

I had a massage a month ago and ever since i have soreness around my spine. when i bend over i feel it. it's tender there. or is it something else?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Muscular v disc: This is muscular if only a month & it occurred after massage. If longer, it may be from a disc issue that could be a tear in the disc or herniation. If muscular, it will get better by -8 weeks and 90% of discs improve over time. Otc meds can help as can heat &/or ice as well as guided exercise & activity modification. Lifestyle changes like weight control, not smoking & regular exercise are key.
