Answer:
Unfortunately, pain medicine will not heal your mothers back. It might mask the problem so she is able to make it through work and daily activity, but in the long run, she will only be damaging her spine more by blocking the pain with pills. Pain is our body's way of telling our brain that something is wrong. I would recommend that she see a physician to determine the extent of her injury, so she can choose an appropriate treatment solution.

For the pain have your mother use ice on the lower back for fifteen to twenty minutes each hour. Get her to see her family doctor if this is not considered a workman's compensation case. If this is a workman's comp case she is going to have to go where they tell her for a while unless she is in a state where they have total control of medical issues. Ask for a referral to physical therapy. There they will work with her on stabilization of the pelvis as well as any postural issues and muscle imbalances. There are a lot of techniques that are available including mobilizations. She is going to need exercises that are specifically designed for her and someone that will work with her in a hands on fashion. There are a lot of possibilities for help but there is not enough information given here to do any advising. Get her to a doctor either at workman's comp clinic or private doctor if she is allowed. Ask for the referral to physical therapy.

That's because chiropractors do not go to medical school and cannot write prescriptions. Your mom needs to see a spinal specialist.
