Satnam’s Symptoms and Assessment
Satnam woke up experiencing lower back pain, accompanied by stiffness on the left side of his lower back and around his hip.

An assessment helps guide decisions about appropriate lower back pain treatment and hip pain treatment, taking into account each person’s symptoms and presentation.
Chiropractic Treatment for Lower Back and Hip Discomfort
Following his assessment, Satnam’s chiropractic treatment approach focused on addressing his lower back discomfort, left-sided stiffness and surrounding soft-tissue tension.
The treatment techniques included:
IFC (Interferential Current Therapy): Uses electrical stimulation to target the affected area. It may help provide short-term relief from discomfort and support pain management.
Hot Moist Pack: Applies superficial heat to the lower back. Heat can help relax tight muscles, increase local circulation and make the area more comfortable before hands-on treatment.
Soft Tissue Techniques: Hands-on techniques are used to address muscle tension and soft-tissue restrictions around the lower back and hip. These techniques may help improve comfort and ease stiffness.
Spinal Manipulative Therapy: A hands-on chiropractic technique involving controlled movement of a spinal joint. Depending on the assessment, it may be used to address joint mobility and help improve movement-related discomfort.
These techniques were selected as part of an approach tailored to Satnam’s reported symptoms and assessment findings.

Why Massage Therapy Was Included Alongside Chiropractic Care
Alongside his chiropractic care, Satnam also received massage therapy as part of his treatment approach.
Chiropractic care and massage therapy can complement one another because they address different aspects of musculoskeletal discomfort.
How the Two Treatments Complement Each Other
May involve hands-on techniques directed at spinal and joint movement.
Can form part of an approach to addressing lower back and hip symptoms.
Is selected according to the individual’s assessment and needs.
Focuses on muscles and other soft tissues.
Can help address muscular tension and stiffness.
May provide short-term relief for some people experiencing lower back discomfort.
The Role of Massage Therapy in Lower Back Pain
Massage therapy for lower back pain may be considered when muscular tension and soft-tissue discomfort are part of a person’s symptoms.
For someone experiencing stiffness around the lower back and hip, massage for lower back and hip pain can focus on the surrounding muscles and soft tissues.
Depending on the individual’s presentation, therapeutic massage for back pain may also be incorporated into a broader treatment approach. Massage therapy can help address areas of muscle tension, while chiropractic care may focus on other aspects of spinal and joint-related concerns.
The purpose of combining these services is to consider different components of a patient’s symptoms. Massage is not necessary for every chiropractic patient; the decision to include it depends on the individual’s assessment and treatment needs.
What Does the Research Say?
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health reports that massage may provide short-term improvement for some people with lower back pain, although the overall evidence is limited.
