That crank in the back, the mind-numbing pain in the lower back region of the body is one of the worst symptoms a person endures. Nothing is pain-free. Be it sitting, standing or driving. A doctor’s visit is in the cards. However, these days, doctors and specialists have been focussing on non-surgical methods to heal one’s back pain. Medication is given primarily to alleviate the initial pain and then rehabilitation methods are looked into.
