LOOKING FOR STRETCHES THAT
MAY HELP YOUR LOW BACK PAIN?
Before I reveal to you how to relieve your low back pain, I must first inform you when it is imperative to seek medical attention. It would be irresponsible of me to say you could self-treat when, in fact, your low back pain could be a symptom of an underlying disease that needs medical treatment, if not immediate care. Before doing any advice from any website or video, make sure it is appropriate for your specific condition.
More Excerpts From Dr. Karin Drummond's Book: Combat Low Back Pain
IF YOU HAVE ONE LEG that is longer than the other, be it from growing unevenly or the result of trauma (like a fractured leg that didn’t heal correctly), you may be experiencing low back pain as a result.
Standing on uneven legs causes a tilt in your pelvis. Remember, a tilted pelvis can cause your lumbar spine to curve, which can cause a strain or sprain in the low back (lumbar spine).
An example of a leg length discrepancy causing a pelvic tilt would be if your right upper leg is shorter than your left; this would cause your right pelvis to tilt down, as shown in the Figure above.
Can you see how this can cause low back pain?
Collapsed Arches and Orthotics
If you have equal leg lengths, yet your pelvis tilts, the tilt could be caused by one foot collapsing more than the other when you walk. The foot that collapses more will cause the pelvis to tilt just like a short leg would, which can lead to low back pain.
The solution for collapsed arches is orthotics (a supportive device you wear in your shoes to provide additional support for your feet.
To see if collapsed arches are the cause of your low back pain,

OTHER HIDDEN CAUSES OF LOW BACK PAIN:
Maybe your low back pain is from a sprained sacroiliac (SI) joint. Maybe you do not need to be adjusted but stabilized!

POOR POSTURE CAN LEAD TO LOW BACK PAIN:
If you have low back pain, improving your posture should help. Poor posture puts pressure on the low back as it strains to hold your torso up while being compressed from the slouched position. To learn more about how to improve your posture to help your low back pain, check out my book, Combat Slouching.
The following advises how to improve the workstation to help better you posture.
Remember to also move and stretch frequently.
A POOR MATTRESS CAN LEAD TO LOW BACK PAIN:
If you have low back pain, it may be from a poor mattress, or a good mattress that has become too old and worn.
LOOKING FOR Stretches TO HELP relieve YOUR LOW BACK pain?
Remember to confirm with your health care provider to confirm these are appropriate for your low back pain. You do not want to be stretching your back if your low back pain is coming from a spastic gall badder, ovarian cyst or some other diseased organ. You also do not want to keep stretching your back if in fact your low back pain is coming from a sprained sacroiliac joint, or imbalances in your feet that keeps re-spraining your low back. Maybe your muscles are tight for a reason. Why wait? Get evaluated by us today! It's easy. Click here to schedule with us online.
LOOKING FOR EXERCISES TO HELP STABILIZE YOUR LOW BACK?
Stabilizing Your Back Will Make You Less Prone To Injury.
Low back pain is often a symptom of a weak core. Many low back pain patients think (or have been told) they need to work out their low back muscles. Chiropractors know better. Low back pain suffers usually need to stretch their back and strengthen their core. Check out Dr. Karin's favorite abdominal exercise. It does not look like she is doing much, but when done correctly, it is an exercise that will firm up the lower abdominal muscles.
If this is too difficult, she has an easier abdominal work out version:
