C.O. Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Help. What are some good excercizes, foods, stretches or supplements for lower back problems? I had a sciatic nerve injury that took over 8 months to heal. Shortly after I tweaked my back again moving a speaker onto a stand. Any tips/advice besides: be more careful and duh are you a moron would be appreciated. -CO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 More than anything you've gotta strengthen the mid section. Do lots and lots of crunches(front and side), as well as reverse crunches. If you have a gym membership I suggest you do these without weight for high reps first then move up to doing these things with light weight. The reverse hyper stand does wonders...even without weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odidnetne Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 How much water are you drinking? I remember reading a study that showed that water helped back pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkleinman Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Regular massage and acupuncture. I tweaked my back last year and this has REALLY helped keep me from doing it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offense74 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I have it too and I second potter, core training (mostly abs but lower back too) is the way to go. Having the right shoes and soles is also extremely important to me. Converses and the like will kill your back in no time.You will probably never get rid of it alltogether, I have outbursts like twice a year (usually when I have the wrong shoes). When I get those I have to take pills for 1-3 days and then it's gone again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offense74 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 what pills did you have to take that helped you recover? -COAnti-inflammatory. Like voltaren or diklofenak (I don't know if that's their name in the US). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 A reverse hyper stand holds your feet while your face down and has a pad that goes under your quads...leaving you hanging over the ground. You just drop your upper body and come up with a straight back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finbarrio Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 My wife showed me some yoga stretches and exercises that helped my sore back quite a bit. I now do that as part of my pre-biking warmup. Takes like 5 minutes and really loosens things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O. Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 Ive done reverse hyperstands lots of times I just never knew the name for the exercize... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
health freak Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Anti-inflammatory. Like voltaren or diklofenak (I don't know if that's their name in the US). After years of lower back problems i came to realise that anti-inflammatory chemical drugs like voltaren and the likes, only harm can they do in the long run... Going raw will eliminate lower back pains especially when you eat alot of natural anti-inflammatories like raw kale and vitamin C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I like the yoga stretchs the best.If you get into the habit of stretching EVERY day you'll be amazrd at how much better your back will be. I even know a retired guy in his late 60's who started daily stretching and his once chronic back problem hasn't bothered him in 3 years now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estgee Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Greetings, I am very familiar with your problem, as I also used to be a person with a huge variety of health problems. This bothered me a lot and at one point I started working on improving my overall health. And acupuncturist irvine ca helped me the most. after a few sessions of acupuncture I began to feel much better. My apathy and constant pains were gone and I felt as if I had been born again. You should definitely try this treatment if you have health problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
