Chiropractors/Lower back extending to hip

Advertisement


Question
The top of my hip by my lower back has a constant low pain.  When I have a BM the pain is worse when I push.  About a month ago I had a treatment and the Chiropractor twisted that side.  I have had a pain in this area ever since but it has become constant.

Thank you for your recommendation.

Answer
Hello Joan,

   It is difficult to say what exactly is causing the pain without performing a exam.  You may have a irritated lumbar disc!  Your doctor of chiropractic will be able to determine the cause after a exam.  You may want to ask him to check out your lower back pain and determine the cause.

Have a great day,
Dr. Brendon O'Brien D.C.
