Only do this gently about three times daily until the pain subsides.

There is very little information about the patient. I understand that the patient is an aged person. Does he work hard or sit around on a couch? It is also important to know the patient’s mattress condition as a poor quality mattress can also cause back pain. Too much sitting, lack of exercise, improper lifting, poor posture, and/or obesity can cause back pain also. Arthritis is one of the most common reasons for back pain. The type of arthritis most often seen in the spine is Osteoarthritis-sometimes called Degenerative Joint Disease. This is a progressive disease that is most common in the hands but is often found in the bones of the back as well. This condition is seen on an x-ray and is more common as you age. It is thought that if you maintain normal back function and motion with certain exercises, stretches and regular back adjustments, arthritis can be prevented or postponed. Spinal Stenosis is an age-related disease where the openings in the spine that the nerves come out of become smaller. This often causes pain running down the leg (sciatica), which makes walking difficult. This condition is found with x-ray, CT scan, or MRI. This can be a difficult problem to treat successfully. Choosing the right doctor is essential for this condition. There are many reasons for back pain. There is very little information about the patient. I understand that the patient is an aged person.
