My husband had surgery on his lower spine about 15 yrs ago. The pain was relieved after surgery but after a few years the pain started to come back. He was quit worried as his occupation is very physically challenging. He went to a few Drs, finally one said "buy a hot tub". So he did. This did seem to help but then he found a chiropractor and he told him " The pain is coming from the scar tissue surrounding the incision area. Scar tissue is not flexible and pulls on the other tissue surrounding it causing pain." The Chiro. treated him with a varity of treatments plus he used the hot tub... that was 10 yrs ago and hes still pain free. Terri L.
