Having back issues is a real Pain!! (Sorry I just had to do that)
Back pain especially lower back and sciatica is becoming all to common a problem for many people.
Most of the time it’s due to extremely weak core area. The core is not just the abdominal section but also the lower back, obliques, hip flexor region and the glutes.
When this area is not conditioned properly as a whole, the lower spine is not readily supported and is exprosed to undo stress and agrevation.
Once the vertabrae in spine start dealing with shifting and stress beyond what it was designed for the spinal cord starts getting into trouble and the next thing you know your back goes out because you bent over to pick up that paper on the ground.
Im my opnion when your back does go “out” it was mostly a long time in coming and not the result of the the random act you just did that caused the injury.
Being over weight doesn’t help either, 20 extra pounds on the scale can put hundreds of pounds of extra pressure on your back depending the movement you are putting your back thru.
Infact my own lower back / sciatica issues are one of the prime reasons I started Hostyle Conditioning.
The four areas to work and improve on are.
- Mobility and core strengthening
- Walking
- Ice.Ice.Ice
- Chiropractic care for optimal Spinal health.
