Case Summary  |  Lower Back Pain


Condition Back Lower (Lumbar) Herniated Disk
Case Description

For over twenty years now, I have had incredible lower back pain. I fell off the back of a hook and ladder fire truck and caused me to have slipped discs. I had surgery on my back but it still hurt. I have tried every pain medicine out there, but it wasn't until I had gotten frequent massages and constant use of heat on my back after work till the pain was alleviated some. I am not one hundred percent, but my back pain is tolerable with heat and massages.
