From Bloomberg, "Antibiotics May Relieve Chronic Lower Back Pain Cases" by Andrea Gerlin:
As many as four in 10 cases of chronic lower back pain are probably caused by bacteria, and treatment with antibiotics may cure them, a study showed.
As many as 80 percent of the participants with persistent back pain following a herniated disc and swelling in the spine reported an improvement after taking antibiotics three times daily for 100 days, Danish scientists wrote in research published by the European Spine Journal.*** The findings support previous research that has linked some cases of chronic back pain to bacterial infection.
When I got injured I had to find a local Salt Lake City chiropractor to treat my injured back. They did recommend that I get antibiotics to held ease the pain that was building up in my back.
