Hi, Dr. Greg Malakoff here, sharing some life experience hoping that it will make your experience of life a little more hopeful and pleasant.
Often people go to a chiropractor for mid back pain and find that the middle of their back still hurts.
That can often be because even though the middle of your back is hurting you the pain is not coming from there. It could be coming from spinal segments above or below. Quite often it is not the vertebrae that are the problem, but the ribs that attach to them.
I’ve found, as well as many other chiropractors that treating the area of pain is not always a very wise thing to do. In the case of middle back pain it is quite often the ribs that need the adjusting. Sadly, many chiropractors these days don’t know the difference, but the patient will immediately recognize the difference if that is the correct diagnosis.
If you feel that I may be able to change your acute or chronic middle back pain and you live in the Los Angeles area, feel free to call me at 310-663-9975.
