i lifted a heavy box and i've had a pain in the sides of my lower back, the butt area specifically for about 6 weeks, i've went for chiro treatment and he recommended stretches, but the pain always comes back it seems as though i pulled a muscle on both sides, and its very stiff and sensitive sometimes, and they say its a muscle strain, Any idea on how long this condition can last or what is the best treatment, some people recommended physiotherapy but i'm not sure if it can make things worse or not? Any suggestions for treatment, or how long this will last, i'm only 27 and never have been hurt like this ever,thanks so much for your help
sounds like a combination muscle strain and sacroilliac sprain (ligaments) one chiro treatment wasn't enough. 5-6 adjustments within a 2 weeks period would be warranted, as well as some physiotherapy (ultrasound, electrical stimulation) which could also be provided by your chiropractor. Our low backs are our weak points. At 27 you don't want his to linger and accelerate the degenerative process in that area. Manual manipulation is the #1 treatment choice for musculoskeletal complaints like this. Make a commitment to yourself and alleviate your complaints, because you'll have to lift something or contort your body again at somepoint and the second low back occurance will be worse and we don't want to think about the third one, and so on.
