It depends on if your lower back pain if recent (Acute) in its onset or if your back pain has been present for a while now (chronic). If the pain is acute lower back pain, heat will only make it worse, but if it is Chronic pain it can be helpful. I recommend that you address the cause of your lower back pain either way. If the Spinal joints are stuck and not able to freely move, this area of dysfunction of your spine can lead to age accelerated Arthritis in your Spine. This would cause an increased chance of this problem becoming an area of pain in your future. As Arthritis gets worse, it becomes more difficult to obtain a long-term solution for the pain. Even surgery could become necessary if the pain is unrelenting and severe, or the bony spurs from the Arthritis start to put dangerous pressure on the Spinal Nerves or the Spinal Cord itself. I can be reached at 336-773-1177 if you have any questions or concerns regarding your lower back pain. Chiropractic care has been found in Scientific research studies to be a very safe and effective way to treat Lower Back pain.

There are indeed injections for knee pain like cortisone injections. Although they usually are temporarily effective, everyone is different regarding how long the pain relief will last. I have spoken to patients that do not get any relief and I have talked to patients that get months of relief. Usually, the results are for approximately a month according to recent research findings. At 3 to 6 months afterwards other treatments work better and are safer. I have had terrific success using Laser Treatments on patients over the last 4 years. I myself had a torn medial meniscus at two places on my left knee. I could even walk as any pressure on the knee was unbearable. The MRI clearly showed the tears. I had an appointment with a Orthopedic Surgeon believing this might require Surgery. I decided to try Laser Treatment as a last resort before seeing the Orthopedic Doctor. Four Laser Treatments later, I had no more pain or limitations in my left knee. That was 2 years ago and I am still completely out of any left knee pain. There is Scientific Research that found Laser Treatment effective for Knee pain also. You can reach me at 336-773-1177 if you want to give Laser Treatment a try or to talk with me for a free Consultation.
