Pain, Pain Go Away Don’t Come Any Single Day

Acute back pain comes on suddenly but improves over time; chronic pain worsens and can last months. If you don't feel better after three to four days, see your primary care physician. She may refer you to a neurologist or a neuro­surgeon if the pain is nerve related; an orthopedist, osteopath, or chiropractor for musculoskeletal problems; a rheumatologist for joint problems; or a physical therapist or physiatrist for rehabilitation exercises. Back specialists typically recommend one or more of the following strategies:

Treatment: Chiropractic care restores mobility by manipulating joints and the spine; it often incorporates massage.
Best for: Acute back pain; not for those with nerve impairment or herniated disks

Treatment: Therapeutic, Swedish, or sports massage uses pressure to stretch and stimulate blood circulation to muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
Best for: Chronic low-back pain

Treatment: Acupuncture may block pain signals and/or release endorphins.
