Back Pain

Recommended Posts

As a veteran of dealing with chronic back pain (I had 5 vertebrae fused when I was 21), I hope I can help ease things a little.

First, as was said here, see the doctor, immediately. The back is involved in EVERYTHING you do. You want to keep it healthy.

Core strengthening (along with stretching) is key. While practicing MA gives a head start in both these areas, definitely need to do some more outside of class.

Here are some really good exercises that have helped me tremendously:

That's crazy! I'm looking at two, maybe three disc replacements in the not-too-distant future. The new technology and techniques available these days are amazing. Plus the consensus seems to be that post-op, subjects are mechanically stronger and flexible than "perfect" human discs could ever hope to be.

Best thing is to meet the doctor. But I have used rolled tower treatment for my backpain. It was cured within 2 days.

Here is the video for that.

Also there was another treatment as "2 tower treatment". But unfortunately I was unable to find the youtube video for that.
