I picked up something incorrectly a week ago, re-injuring my back. It's been bad for a while, but I normally injure it about once a year, and I'd love to get it fixed somehow. It's in my lower back, feels like it is right in my pelvis. When it's really bad, I cannot bend my back at all. When I walk, I have to take very small steps, otherwise it feels like my legs are pulling some kind of nerve that does not want to be pulled. It gets better every day (until re-injury occurs), but I need to do something about it soon.
I need to know who to go to first. Some people say visit a doctor, because chiropractors are quacks and it's not a real science. Other people say doctors don't know how to properly diagnose back problems, and that I should visit a chiropractor. Does it depend on what type of injury I have?
I have good insurance, so I'm not terribly worried about the cost, but I'd like to be able to bend over and tie my shoes Thanks much.
