Chiropractic

I have a lower back pain and hip pain just during walking. I cannot walk for more than 10 minutes, because it starts to hurt a lot and I have to sit down and don´t move. I´m really desperate. Do you have any idea what could be the problem, p lease? Thank you for the answer.

i had a sports massage last week to try to help with tightness ive been having in my legs and the day after my lower back went ‘solid’ and ive not been able to walk properly. i was ok seated but struggled to straighten out. its eased this week with some stretches to a specific pain in the bottom left side of my back and is especially painful when my right leg is weight bearing. do you think you can help?

HelloI have had lower back pain for several years and visited an osteopath on several occasions. Although there is pain relief following my visits it never seems to be anything long term and the pain always returns.
