i feel that you should be medically diagnosed first; a chiropractic assessment is not sufficient. before any home treatment of back pain that has lasted a month it would be wise for you to see a back specialist (md) and have some diagnostic tests first. there are plenty of exercises and stretching regimes but getting a definitive diagnosis is the most important thing first.
i have really intense lower back pain. the chiropractor said it could be unbalanced hips. about a month ago i suffered from a really intense lower back pain. the pain started of as a normal light pain one morning when i woke up but it progressively got stronger to the point where it would hurt to sit lay and bend down. i went to a chiropractor and he diagnosed that my hips were unbalanced and that they had slightly shifted possible causing the lower back pain. is there anything that i can do to better this problem myself. such as exercise and stretching.
