Why is my back pain worsening despite treatment?
This is a situation where the discs that act as cushions to separate the spinal bones slip out of position and eventually start compressing the neighboring nerve roots. This condition could cause pain in the back as well as difficulty in sitting or bending. Some measures like soft movements of the body, hot and cold compresses, or physical therapy may be helpful. If these treatments do not work, you can consult an orthopedist for further treatments.
