Hi,My father is an Ex-service man. He is suffering from back pain from almost 20 years and it has become worse these days. We would like get him treated for the same. But none of us have the idea about the treatment that would be given to back pain. And also would the treatment given be a permanent remedy?
Hi, From history it seems that there might be having some degenerative changes in his spines giving this problem. He might be having osteoporosis as well. Go for x-ray cervical and lumbar spines. After report plan of treatment can be decided. Physiotherapy like back extension exercise, short way diathermy and if you require cervical or lumbar traction will be very helpful. Give him Calcium, vitamin A and D supplements. Ok and take care.
