    Back Pain

    While it is true that exercise will improve the low back pain. However, it can also make it hurt more. For example, if the problem is coming from a slipped disc (disc protrusion, disc herniation, disc prolapse or disc bulge). In these cases the root cause of the problem needs to be addressed. Best way to find out, is if the "L" shaped exercise as mentioned in the message above cause discomfort or pain, then chances are that you have a disc problem. Also, you can get to do a self test as mentioned in nsdtherapy.com site. Visit the link below to see how it is done. However, this is only a tool and the best person the evaluate your condition is a professional (a orthopedic or chiropractor). If you suspect a disc problem, google nsd therapy Malaysia to find a center near you.

    I hope that this helped.

    i have lower back pain for several months now. it ebbs and flows. it caused by a number of factors: poor posture whilst sitting, poor posture whilst walking up and down the stair, no or inadequate warming and cooling down, and last but not least, sitting in front of the TV and Computer Monitor for many hours a day.

    what specialists should i go visit:

    a. doctor. [which kind?]
    b. chiropractor
    c. physiotherapist
    d. accupunctunist
    e. bonesetter
    thanks..

    ....and while you're at it, maybe a brain specialist! :p You know what you're not doing... so do it! :D

    I'd like to repeat here what contless others have stressed time and again. Stretches and a decent warm-up routine are absolutely imperative -- more so once you've hit the 30 or 35 year mark, or more. Equally important is stretching and warm-down (or cool down) after you've finished your session. It doesn't take that long - maybe just 10 minutes before, 5-7 minutes after. Also, if you can begin your day with some really good stretches and breathing exercises, it will set you up nicely for the rest of the day. :)

    depends on how old you are, how well conditioned you are.

    my first thought was that if it took at least a few days to recover then you might not as young as a teenager since older people, myself included, need more time to recover from muscle fatigue as well as a pinched nerve. also, if you don't play all the time or you played too much, it could means that you didn't allow your body enough time to recover, which could also cause you to perform a bad movement as mentioned in earlier posts.

    my suggestion is that if this is out of the ordinary FOR YOU, then go see a doctor right away just to be on the safe side. i truly believe that when it comes to your health, nothing is more important than getting a peace of mind that you know your body is ok. and like some others have mentioned, seeing a chiropractor is not a bad idea.

    the worst possible situation that i could think of is that there's a pinched nerve in your lower back when it hurts so much that it immobilized you momentarily. it happened to my father but it's up in the neck area but i figure it could happen to lower spine as well. that's why i think it's a great idea to get yourself checked out JUST TO BE SAFE. wish you a speedy recovery.
