• Has your pain lasted longer than three months?
• Does your pain change in intensity, but you still have pain?
• Have you tried:
  • Injections?
  • Occasional physical therapy?
  • Chiropractic manipulation?
  • Surgery that did not relieve the pain or worked only for a short time?
• Are you or someone who cares about you worried that you take too much medication?
• Do the medications give you less and less relief?
• Would you like to reduce or stop altogether the pain drugs you are taking?
• Has your physician said there is nothing more he can do or that surgery is a last resort?
• Do you feel like you are at the end of your rope?

If you answered “No” to the questions, you probably have acute back or neck pain.
