8. Lower Back Pain

Question: My mother is 43 years old and has been doing manual labor for many years. She suffers from severe lower back pain, but hospital examinations have not brought any improvement. Is there a specialized hospital that treats lower back pain?

Answer: The most common cause of lower back pain is vertebral protrusion. In addition to lower back pain, this condition can also be accompanied by sciatica. Furthermore, the most common type of lower back pain is muscle strain. The former is difficult to treat, while the latter is easier. Generally, rheumatology and traumatology departments in hospitals have their own treatment experience. However, currently, no hospital, either within or outside the province, can completely cure vertebral protrusion in just one or two treatments.
