Only 2% back pain patients have to go to surgery.
Make sure that your doctor have right decision anyway.
Take care!
Alternative therapies only work for some kind of back pain.

You might have sciatica if the pain runs down ur leg from your lower back. I really dont recommended surgery almost no one gets better. You can try to relevie stresss because its mostly what triggers some pain. Try phyiso and massage if you are in stress. Dont strain ur back. Try excerises, Stay active. You can try anti inflammtory drugs and see what happens but make sure u tell your doctor about all your medical condition history
