Will a chiropractor fix my back from pain all over, Im 17, feels like its the muscles, is it growing pain?

Question

Would my back pain be a result of growing, because its already lasted for 9 months and wont go away! I need help please

Answer 1

I doubt if your back pain is a result of growing. If you do a lot of physical activity that will cause muscle pain because of overuse. Cut back on physical activity.

A good qualified massage therapist could help work out the pain and advise you how to prevent further problems. Ask your medical doctor if they know of a good therapist.

A chiropractor can definitely help problems in the back. That's their specialty. I've enclosed a link where you can find a qualified chiropractor in your area.

If you have any further questions please let me know,

You should go to the doctor. I've never heard of growing pains in the back - just legs and arms. At 17 your skeletal system should be pretty much finished growing. The growing pains you are talking about usually occur during growth spurts and those usually occur around puberty. You may be suffering from a curvature of the spine or misallignment. There are many spinal problems that can happen as you grow and develop. See a doctor it may or may not be something serious but only a doctor can tell you that.

Answer 3

Take this seriously and go to a doctor. When I was 15, I began hurting and would have stiffness, neuritis, and soreness. It was attributed to growing pains when indeed it was arthritis. Now at 66 years old, I've had surgery on my lower back and neck, several joint replacements, have both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and have been disabled for 11 years. I can walk only with a walker and NOT MUCH of that. So I would encourage you to find out the real cause of your pain as soon as possible so you could hopefully have a better outcome.

Hi,

You probably do need to see a Doctor to eliminate lots of other possible problems. I'd say you are grown now and a pain in the back lasting 9 months is a worry.

Answer 5

Hi,
Sciatica is a pain that results from irritation of one of sciatic nerves. This is a lower back pain that goes down to hip and then to both legs extending to feet and toes in some cases. Sciatica nerve is the largest nerve in our body. Running down the spine through the hip, sciatic nerve goes down to knee and ankle. Any damage or pressure on this nerve results in debilitating sciatica pain that needs thorough investigation of probable causes on the basis of symptoms to provide relief to the patient on a permanent basis.

Answer 6

u didn't mention wether or not u play any sports. i played softball in high school and never realized the effect it had on straining my back muscles. get a massage, it could be that the muscles in ur back are so tight that they are pulling on the bones (happens often). before seeing ur chiropractor get a massage and see if it benefits you better.

Answer 7

I have heard of "growing pains" but not growing pains per se. I think you should check this out with your family doctor!
