Hi there,


I seem to have trapped a nerve in my back in a foolish overexercising kind of manner and it's proving rather challenging to get my toddler out of his cot etc. Fun times.


Anyway never having been in this position before I don't know whether a physio or a chiropractor would be better to go to. Does anyone have any local recommendations for me please? I'm in SE22.


Thank you.

It could be a bulging/ruptured disc - I have had these and am not a fan of either chiro nor physio, as they manipulate something that shouldn't be manipulated. I would try and get it checked out (MRI) if it's not disappearing quickly. Equivalent of "spraining" your back - rest, time and gentle movement is the key, then core strengthening when pain has gone.
I would second bobbsy about the fact that it could be a bulging/ruptured disc and the need to get it properly investigated, although as an interim measure (until you can get to see a doctor), I would definitely advocate seeing a good physio (no physio would manipulate until after diagnosis) who may be able to give you accupuncture. I would definitely recommend Dulwich Physiotherapy in Crystal Palace Road. They are not related to the doctors practice but have offices above. They offer great flexibility with appointments including evenings and Saturdays. Do not see a Chiropractor!
