Dr. for Back Pain
 
My husband has been suffering from chronic back pain for a few months now. He has tried treating it himself, but I think he should see a Dr. Can anyone recommend someone who they had success with for this problem?

Start with your family doctor. He will evaluate to see if he needs a referral, physical therapy, MRI, etc. He may give some meds also.

There are many threads here on totv regarding back pain, check them out.
Personally after years of back pain I discovered QiGong exercise classes here and am pretty much pain free now. I had previously tried everything except surgery.

Not a problem to ignor or try to alieviate on the cheap. I would recommend seeing a good family practice physician and ask for referal to Neurosurgeon. No sense messing around with Pseudo medicos who claim to cure everything by manipulation. Some people recommend orthopedic surgeons or physical therapists. I would take such advice if the neurosurgeon made the recommendation. This is from a back pain sufferer , who has obtained significant relief though the path recommended above.

My condition has been largely alleviated by daily back exercises in a hot tub(102 degs) and minimal pain medication. No physical intervention.

This was the treatment process recommendeg by the Nuerosurgeon and Physical therapist( for my condition)
