When should I give up on regular medical treatment for my back pain and try therapy to try and manage it?

Only your doctor can advise you when you have reached the end of what medical therapy can offer you. Much depends on how your back pain began, what caused it, and why you continue to have it.

However, you don't have to stop your medical treatment to take advantage of psychological counseling. In fact, the two work well together. By following a cognitive behavior program, for example, you could learn how to better manage your pain, which may, in turn, make the physical treatments more successful.
