should people with back pain visit chiropractor?

Question

I work in office with a laptop, and I do experience sharp pain from the middle to the lower part of my back. Sometimes I also experience stiff shoulders and numbness around my forearm. My friend saw this post (https://www.sgpainsolutions.com/back-pain/) and she recommended me to visit a chiropractor. I find the post is quite accurate. Anyone can answer me?

Answer 1

While a chiropractor may be able to help, I just thought I'd mention that sometimes back pain is actually related to your feet and therefore a visit to a podiatrist might be helpful. I wrote a post about it on my foot care blog: https://trevorlanepodiatry.com.au/podiatry-and-back-problems/.

Alternative for chiropractors

There are other effective ways to manage pain without visiting the chiropractor. The use of Soma pain medication is one of the most sought after choice for body pain. It is a muscle relaxer that can help manage body pain within 30 minutes of taking the Soma dosage. One can take Soma pill 3 to 4 times a day for sharp and severe pain. It contains Carisoprodol as the active compound and is a great solution for acute pain in people.  For users who wishes to know more about Soma pain medication and its usage can visit my website.
