it didn't as well for my husband for his back issue. The difference between us is the cause.

For instance... I was born with a hip that likes to pop out and in. In doing so nerves get pinched, sometimes to the point where I can barely move, no less function. issue

OTOH my husband has a bad back with a degenerative disease affecting his spine. Early on in the disease a slight chiro adjustment would help a bit, now, unfortunately, it no longer does.

I suggest a bit of research since being able to help can be dependent upon what exactly is wrong with your back. If you choose to use a chiropractor ask around for recommendations. While I have yet to run into a truly bad one, I've run into some who are excellent and some who are 'meh' for helping.

Good luck and I truly hope you find relief. Being in pain really sucks the ability to enjoy life way down.
