The second person developed back pain years ago and stopped doing certain movements because of discomfort. The pain is still present daily and they use a combination of meds, massage, and chiropractic to keep big flares up away. Their problems are different despite both dealing with low back pain.

This may mean more frequent visits and removing anything that makes their symptoms worse. We will likely see this person a few times per week
