i actually got actipuncture and deep muscle therapy the other month becuase i was having alot of back problem's. it is pretty great, id reccomend that. it slow's the pain down.
the best advice they told me , just dont keep covering the pain with tablets or whatever, if its hurting then somethings wrong, thats why the body feel's pain. the first minute i was there and i laid down and they could see a muscle was out of place and apparantly you could see my whole back was kind of higher on one side, and they fixed that and i just had to rest for a few days. and the pain is connected to some muscle in the back of your leg, yea its kinda weird, there was a lump in the back of my leg which was telling them that i had a back injury, you can feel it when they rub it. its a whole body therapy.
