Sudden lower back pain might be the tip of a major problem and should be looked at by a qualified practicioner. I prefer to go to a chiropractor but others may prefer a physician.

Since low back pain may be the effect of many different things I recommend you have a health notebook. Some might think that it is like a diary but writing about what you expierence on a day to day routine may give clues to your doctor and help that person fix your back pain. This will help you describe your pain, when in most cases people can’t really describe it. Naturally only the emotional side of your low back pain comes to light and makes the diagnosis cryptic to the tending doctor.

I have mentioned that I see a chiropractor mostly because they deal with nerve interference and know what symptoms people get with pinched or blocked nerves. However, they do not poses the ability do what physicians do. Physicians seek the way to stop (maybe cure) the problem but don’t do the research to solve the root cause.

Often, nerve interference can give a variety of symptoms like: indigestion, cramps down your legs, impaired kidney function, liver function or low back pain just to name a few.  While a physician may recommend antacid, ulcer medication or in extreme cases dialysis. The chiropractor would treat the root cause. Namely an impared or blocked nerve that is supposed to provide nerve impulses for proper function of that organ. This does not mean that current physician care is not necessary but that your condition and treatment may (EVENTUALLY) -may not be needed once normal nerve function is restored.  

If you go the route of the physician for your lower back pain. It is a good choice to ask your doctor if he or she could recommend an alternative treatment program. The same goes for a chiropractor. If this person cannot fix your lower back pain and you need help beyond what they can offer then they can usually recommend a good physician.
