Question by InsanityInked: What would cause a case of chronic back pain?
My fiance’ has a pain in her lower back almost everyday. When i massage it i notice that her muscles are almost rock hard/knotted until i massage them. Her doctor has prescribed her with meloxicam which is an arthritis medicine, the medicine does not help at all any other suggestions, besides icy hot, or ibuprofen/pain meds or some sort of diagnosis?
Best answer:
Answer by pressy Does she have a desk job or is she a nurse. Those two occupations produce a lot of low back injuries.
Have her ask her Dr for a referral to a Physical Therapist. At least she will get an actual diagnosis.

Question by jaybaba: What is better for a bad back, swedish massage or thai massage?
I have lower back pain, probably due to trying to sleep on a Detroit to San Francisco flight. I have heard that a good massage would help ease the pain. I have seen advertisements for both Swedish and Thai massage and I don’t know which one is better.
Best answer:
Answer by a_blue_grey_mist swedish massage might be better for lower back pain. It will relax the muscles in the area, allow improved circulation, and release tension.
Ultimately, you might want to do some form of yoga also, to complement the work of the massage, and improve the flexibility and strength of the muscles in the area.
