How can I get pain relief from my back if my doctor won't/ can't get me into physical therapy? Curve is less than 10°.

      A DO would replace your primary care doctor

      Would I need a referral? Going to assume they're similar to a therapist in finding the right one for md.

      DO = doctor of osteopathy

        @MaryC They can do adjustments for you & are much gentler. Also they are more willing to work with alternatives to medications

      You can buy a tens unit on Amazon for less than $20. Stretching helps me the most. Have you tried a DO or chiropractor?

        @MaryC DO? All the chiropractors around me are really rough and constantly knock the wind out of me.
