“Can you fix lower back pain?”

Nobody "fixes" lower back pain, because lower back pain is merely a symptom. People treat lower back pain but that requires that we can identify the source of the pain. There are many potential things that can cause lower back pain and this requires someone who is a good diagnostician (pain doctor; chiropractor; orthopedic surgeon; neurosurgeon; neurologist) take a careful history; perform a comprehensive physical examination; and obtain appropriate diagnostic studies before devising a treatment plan based upon the most likely diagnosis.

Hmmm. I need much more information. It depends on the cause. There are certain causes of lower back pain such as muscle strains or ligament sprains that can be fixed and there are causes such as disc problems that are not necessarily corrected but can be managed so that a person can lead a fairly normal life. This is why diagnosis is most important and the worst things you can do is take pain meds to cover up the pain or go to a massage therapist who doesnt diagnose or any doctor who doesnt seek the cause of your pain and either writes a prescription or lies you down a table to perform a procedure without understanding the cause. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Jay H.
