Anyone got any advice to cure long term back pain?

I've tried 3 seperate Physio's, Chiropractors, Osteopaths %26amp; just recently Acupunture to no avail - if anything it's getting worse. I've been swimming 3-4 times a week and doing plenty of core strengthening exercised, but still am not seeing any results. Help!!Anyone got any advice to cure long term back pain?
I empathize with you, been there for many years.





The only thing that has helped is a core of exercises that were specifically related to ';my'; type of back pain, not the general exercises that are usually given.





I do them upon awakening, mainly three, that really do the trick. If I skip a few days or sit too long, wham, the pain returns. But I can instantly get rid of it.





The key is finding ';which'; exercises that pinpoint and stretches the area that is stiff and everyone's area of pain is different.





Depending upon what is causing your back pain, it may only be controlled and not totally eliminated. But you must do something on your own daily, and it should be the ';correct'; thing.





Just a note, I do visit an excellent massage therapist who gives me deep tissue massages in the areas when I really overdue it. I personally can't stress enough how tremendous this is when you find the best therapist for your pain. Once again, pain gone.





Check out below one of the best resources I've used now for the past 3 years that assisted me in pinpointing ';my'; trouble spots and thereby ridding me of the pain.





You can be helped.





Best to you...

There is a summary of the 'evidence based medicine' findings on chronic back pain here:

Most of the research is rather inconclusive. One intervention that it clearly says is beneficial is neuroreflexotherapy, but this is only practiced in Spain, I believe.





There is some new research on the Alexander Technique which found very good reduction in days of pain, published in The British Medical Journal.

Hi Vman,





Sounds like you are doing the right things, maybe your technique might just be slightly off.





Here is a program that really works Secrets To A Pain-Free Back.





See link below for more details.





Good luck.



You might try Yoga and massage. If you want a more conventional medical approach you should get an MRI done and have your doctor refer you to a good physical therapist.
