I tried the inversion table. I tried the chiropractor — twice a month, for two years. I tried the brace, the massage gun, the stretches the physio gave me, and the shots when it got bad enough. Every one of them helped. For a while. That's the part nobody warns you about — that "it helps" and "it's getting better" are two completely different things. Here's what I finally understood, at 63, after spending more on managing my back than I'd like to admit: Every treatment on that list works on the surface. Alignment. Muscle. The volume of the pain. But chronic lower back pain doesn't live on the surface — it lives in the deep tissue along the spine, an inch or two down. The one place none of them reach. That's not an opinion. It's just depth. There's a form of light therapy that does reach that layer — near-infrared, over two inches into tissue. Not masking. Not numbing. It gives the cells the energy they need to run their own repair cycle. I wrote up the whole explanation, including the honest timeline and the week where most people quit.
