Description of the problem	I purchased a new kia spectra (2009) november, 2008 and within few months i started experiencing low back pain. I tried to sell the car without luck. I tried to trade it in but didn't do it because of the low price that was offered to me by dealers. The pain started to get worse even if i drive it for short distances. I have been taking pain pills otc or by prescription without much help. Recently i sought the services of a chiropractor hoping for better pain management. He took two x-rays, did a spine adjustment, spine traction treatments and tens. My x-rays show that i have misalignment of the spine between l4-l5 which could be as a result of the poor lumbar support of the driver's seat in my car. I have no previous history of back pain or any trauma to my back. Just wanted to know if you can help [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
