It all starts by determining the etiology of your back pain. Treatment is geared towards each patient individually. From PT to injections to lifestyle modifications
Back pain is not a true diagnosis really, because there are so many disparate things that can cause it, that it demands a thorough hands-on assessment by someone with experience dealing with the spine and muscles and ligaments of the back. I respectfully suggest that you seek out the services of someone experienced in diagnosing and treating the various causes of back pain, including ordering any indicated tests like X-Rays or perhaps MRIs. Without a comprehensive examination of the back and extremities, there is no way to comment upon the condition of back pain,
and it is foolish for me to attempt to guide you beyond seeking a face-to-face assessment. Good luck!!
