Help Back Problems
i had a car accident last may and i have been having back problems since.i had 9 sessions of physio which didnt really help.i was sent to two different hospital for physio but was told they couldnt find anything wrong.i started having upper and lower back pain and numbness in my left hand and sometimes i can hardly walk. late november a friend suggested seeing an osteopath had quite a few sessions but it didnt help much.did lower back scan and a chest xray which was normal.i was basically told that the best thing to do was to return to work and it would settle with time.i was convince that someting was seriously wrong so i went to a chiropractor who did xrays of my neck. turns out that my neck is twisted,and she suspect that there is a slip disk. she recommended 3 months of treatment.i am two months into but my back is worse than ever and my pelvis keeps coming out of line.i have recently started to have some weird headaches.went to the doctor and ask to be referred to a specialistand was told that she needs a report from the chiropractor before she can consider that.at the moment there is this horrible burning sensation in my back. i am feeling all kinds of emotions but above all i am very upset and frustrated because i feel like i have tried everything.please help me.what do i need to do?

You feel like you've done everything you can do and still there is not relief.

There are other alternatives out there that might help you - if you have a look through the back pain threads in this forum, I'm sure you will find other suggestions that you may want to explore.

Some of the lesser known therapies may have things to offer you that may be different from the heavier manipulation you've had so far.

I regularly have people come to try Bowen and Emmett techniques with me that have been through the same route as you and nearly all of them say 'you're my last resort'. It's quite a challenge to live up to!

But I would suggest that you look wider at the whole range of therapies that are out there.

I'm sure you'll get lots of other help and advice on here - so good luck on your journey to recovery.

Best wishes
