<human>: I have been experiencing back pain for a while now.  Its not really bad, its just continual until I lay down or take ibuprofen. I dont like taking ibuprofen, and would like to know if I should see a chiropractor or not.  I think  my pain has to do with standing for long hours, sitting in one position for a while, or even sleeping bad.
<bot>: HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorI have gone through your query. Your problem is most likely due to lumbar intervertebral disc injury like herniation or osteocyte Chat Doctor. A physical examination with an Orthopedic will give the clue for that and an X-ray lumbosacral spine followed by an MRI should be taken if needed to confirm that. I usually treat my patients of such conditions with muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside NSAIDs like Diclofenac and neurotrophic. I send them to physiotherapy along with this. If there is a serious injury or pain not effective on therapy then I recommend surgical correction. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.
