I heard a back specialist on the radio a few days back basically saying 90% of treatments for back pain are pointless and can make the condition worse. Avoid invasive procedures like the plague and they recommend using it as soon as possible to stop pathways being set up.
I screwed my back after several bad smashes on bikes and got it scanned. I had a degenerative condition for 15 years with knowing it and it end my manual lifting pretty damn quick.
Spent two years staggering around on dual sticks popping Di-gesics like lollies with little relief and was pretty well crippled for a decade after that. I slipped a disk just after I met a nurse type about 17 years ago. She did a thing called "Bowen Therapy" on me and a cried like a baby for an hour after. Then I stood up and dropped a tree. 95% less pain from then on... Suffice to say, I married her!!
Bowen is non-invasive, retrains muscles to support your spine better. Hurts like a shot gun blast first time but keeps me walking now. It does not necessarily work for everyone but after I get one, my body temp jumps five degrees plus and my back feels like its on fire for half an hour. Try that before you try anything else.
