Don't forget about massage and soft tissue work! They are equally if not more important than stretches when dealing with pain.

I wouldn't do all those exercises. LBP is more times than not relieved with flexion or extension. Not both at the same time.

As someone who regularly has lumbagos, I can confirm the exercises above help relieve the pain

My brother has ankylosing spondylitis, a spinal arthritis (your vertebrae fuse together). I'm being tested for it this week. I'm terrified.

This works wonders for those people suffering from back pain because of lack of exercise. For people with some medical problems not so much.

also, elongate your spine.. contradict gravity , reach up , down , contradict gravity and sitting on your ass at a computer all day.

Always pull from the lumbar region and make sure that you are pulling from an angle.

I could amateurishly ablate the nerves so you never feel anything again. Maybe don't take me up on that...

What about upper back pain? :-)

9 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

Stretch and rotate your arms, neck and shoulder blades and whatnot. Though it does kind of depend on the pain.

I've been having a pretty annoying back pain right below my neck for sometime now. And I've tried that and it doesn't work lol

I would recommend a doctor or a physical therapist, then.

Have heel inserts to help me lean forward & anti fatigue mats but seems to do very little & constantly have lower back pain. Any reason/help

Any reason I keep leaning back I mean. Need to work core? Do good morning lifts?

I wouldn't put your health at risk by giving you some online diagnosis without even seeing you, what I can say though, is that ...

... 8/10 of the lower back pain cases I treat at work show a very positive response to muscular reinforcement. Next step is up to you ;)

I've heard just don't sit with it in your back pocket, walking should be fine. I'm not 100% on this though.

I'm pretty sure you're right. It's when you sit on it your spine has to compensate

Also it fucks with your piriformis muscle in your ass which can irritate your sciatic nerve.

Thank you! I'm hoping I won't need the bar across my ribs and just the pins. I'm glad it worked for you!

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The bar under my sternum is from an unrelated separate operation. As long as you don't have pectus excavatum you won't need that

I have scoliosis, is the surgery painful? and should I get the back brace instead?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It was the most painful thing I've ever experienced. And the surgery is for when the back brace can no longer do any good

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

did you experience back pain when you first had scoliosis because for me that was the most painful thing?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I had severe scoliosis that was progressing very rapidly. It was very painful and hard to walk. If I had not had the surgery I would current

Difference is they cut away 6 deformed ribs and placed in a bar for 3 years. (First bar was 6 months, not enough time so second bar later)

Mine was for pectus excavatum. I've had wonderful results now that I can breath. My chest was literally pushing on my heart

That sounds awful :( I'm glad it worked well for you :) I was thinking about getting the modified ravitch done since the nuss didn't work
