Answer 1

I don't think a chiropractor is the right answer. When I had pain like that my doctor sent me to a Physical Therapist. That guy said always sit on a comfortable chair (beds were not designed for sitting). He also said don't keep sitting for more than an hour - get up and move around once an hour. There are also some simple exercises to strengthen your back muscles that you can try.

Answer 2

You might want to visit a chiropractor who can x-ray your spine or give you a referral for an x-ray so that you can really get to the bottom of your spinal problem. You did not mention your age, so I cannot comment definitively on whether you might have osteoarthritis beginning in your spine, which would otherwise be another possibility.

Answer 3

I have the same thing..when I sit down on certain chairs in my house I get severe back pain...I crack it myself and it feels better.

So yea, probably best to see the chiropractor.

Answer 4

you totally should see a ciropractor

>> here is a tip, when you sleep try laying flat on your bed and your legs up on a pillow.. so basically you should be flat but you legs should be on top of a pillow or two...

Answer 5

Try a chiropractor! They work wonders. You may have to go back multiple times before everything gets back in line, but it's work it.

Answer 6

Are you pulling behind your head when you sit up? Try holding a medicine ball above your knees, and bring your upper body up to it (without moving your legs or the ball.)
