Lower Back Pain: Remedies?

GGF, there is absolutely nothing that would make me see a chiropractor ever again. The damage that was caused to my joints by two different chiropractors, two different decades, two different styles, was enough to push my medical condition further along than if I had done absolutely nothing and suffered with the pain. I do see a chinese doctor who practices eastern medicine and he does Gua Sha on my joints but it is far removed from chiropractic. I have also had accupunture done.
Because I suffer from arthritis (rhematiod) I take pilates classes to help with alignment of the body and the core. It has helped tremendously but is quite costly over a year (but for me well worth it). And I see a physio therapist on occasion (as well as massage) just to have some pulse/heat treatment done to relax the muscles without having to use prescrition drugs. I am also a strong believer in naturalpathic and homeopathic remedies and go to the Centre for Natural Medicine in River Heights.

Then again so does getting really drunk and playing football.

Marijuana works good, but I quit doing that long ago.

I've never been convinced on the whole Chiropractor thing. Never been, never want to. My wife is a regular and #3 son has started to go, but he's getting the treatment free. I'll stick to my family doctor and follow his recommendations, which have served me well.

I've actually never been to a chiropractor...though thought about going many times.

Sometimes, there's nothing that feels better than a good back-cracking...and there's a few points which I wish I could crack, but never seem to "pop" no matter what I do.

Crackle and pop, sounds like my knees.

holly golighly...That's fine...I also have a father that is 75 yrs old right now that had all kinds of bad experiences many years ago (60-70's) with chiropractors as a result of his 3 herniated discs in his back and he also will never again go see a chiropractor again if his life depended on it...and...

And for me some of the experiences that happened with my father which I grew up witnessing where some of the very reason's I was so anti chiropractor etc and then came Sonny along in 2007 who changed all of that because he is honestly a one of a kind chiropractor who practices as I said other procedures that are "All Natural Medicines" along with chiropractic procedures...GGF

Not sure I would trust a doctor named "Sonny"

Should Dr. Sonny also have to be white instead of perhaps colored to satisfy Freeman's "prejudice beliefs"?...GGF

@GGF, Now there you go again. I make a comment about the guy's name and you call me prejudiced. Did I make any comment about his race, colour, religion or anything else? NO. You're just being an a$$hole, again.

I suggest that you check the TOS for this forum, because you just crossed the line.

And naturally Freeman attacking someone as a result of their birth name is not considered "Offensive" and or "Prejudice"...and...

And one way or the other...Please back off Freeman because "I am Allergic to Throlls" that have nothing to add to the subject matter on a thread but attacking someone's birth name...GGF

@GGF, I made a comment about his name, nothing else and you came back with an accusation that I was prejudiced and now you, as usual, try to back track with more of your barely coherent bullshit.

What the frick is a "Throll" and why are you allergic to them?

Time to dig yourself a new hole, literally.

Let's give this a rest right now.

Remove his comments and I will.

Unbelievable Freeman...So let's find out what your real birth name is already...and...

And then let's "All" have a bit of what you like doing with someones else's birth name...and...

And or would you not prefer to stay on thread instead?...GGF

@GGF, have you been told today?

My name is Freeman. Got a problem with that.

I would have to agree with Freeman on this. It did not sound at all like he was making a racial remark.
Having said that, thanks to all who offered input.

It was an innocuous comment that certainly did not warrant a racist accusation and it certainly does not require a single further post.

Give this BS a rest.

Oh, and read the sandbox TOS.

Hasn't Freeman himself been told to back off because GGF is "Allergic to Throlls" that have nothing to add to a thread but an attack in relation to "Someone's Birth Name"?...and...

And hasn't Freeman been offered to get back on thread already instead of what Freeman is continuing to do?...GGF

Whats a "throll"?

GOM...OK...Thanks...Let's get back to the thread now...I truthfully enjoy watching others post their opinions/experiences/ideas in relation to lower back pain remedies...GGF

GGF enough already. Freeman was making a joke about the name Sonny, there was nothing racist about it.

Goth chic you said:

That's fine goth and if I took it the wrong way then I Apologize and one way or the other all I want is to get back on thread...GGF
