Bad Back
Posted: 03-30-06 22:06pm

Ive had a bulging disc for 15 months now ,have done phsyio,rested and was told it wont get worse and would fix itself in about 2 years it is getting worse and im thinking bout getting an opp done where they sleeve the nerve ,this is only a tempory solution that only lasts 6 weeks - 6 months. Im almost at the point I can not ease the pain no matter what I do.
My doc dosn't like the idea of any opp on the back as 1 leads to more and if any opp is going to be done it should be the 1 that fixes the problem but that will be years from now.

Whatt would you do? Put up with the pain and wait?

Or get the temp. Opp done?

Back Pain
Posted: 03-31-06 12:04pm

It is a crime that nobody has suggested seeing a chiropractor. A good chiropractor can usually relieve and thoroughly evaluate this, possibly preventing surgery. My guess is that you have problems with the way you walk which is inherited. Shoe inserts help many people with chronic lower back pain and is part of chiropractic management

It was mentioned to see a bone jerker but several ppl have advised against it even doctors. My condition came from sneezing in the shower(this time ). I have a trouble since I was 16 ,being a truckies offsider in the removal game. I have torn muscles over and over for years would this be a part of the reason...Damaged/stretched muscles = bulging disc???

Thanx for ur response ,i will check it out and ur site too..

Crazy ivan ~

like you I have been told no chiropractor! You condition can a simply as mine which I was never in a mva or had an injury that caused my spine problems that we know of. I also have personal reasons for not seeing a chiro. :( my surgeon is not one who would say never consider a chiro but when it comes to problems like I have and like you have been told a chiro is not the answer sometimes.

I really don't think is's a crime that no one suggested a chiropractor maybe a "shame" is a better word to use. My guess is you are a chiro from the username you choose to use? I will also check your site out. You seem to mention "inserts for your shoes" and seeing a "good chiropractor" often in your posts. ? Do you yourself suffer any pain from spine problems?

Regarding to your question of back problems, most chiropractors have chronic problems due to working on people. Fortunately, their coleagues take care of them and keep them healthy so they can continue to help the public, much like psychotherapists who often see their own to deprogram them from the stuff they hear from their clients. It really is a crime when a doctor who knows little of the benefits of what chiropractors do says not to see one. It is well established that chiropractors are quite safe and effective for back problems and sciatica. Most sports trained chiropractors in in highest demand from athletes because they do it right, faster and more effective than other types of practitioners. This is partly due to the fact they use manipulation, but also because the best also use techniques such as graston and myofascial release and incorporate rehab. Over the last 20 years, other groups such as physical therapists have attempted to learn these methods, however, without understanding the chiropractic thought process, methods and being full time manipulators, most are simply not as effective. I have a neurosurgeon who sends us post surgical cases and we do well with some but some we cannot help, even with the best intentions. This is still safer than sending them for pain management which is another name for more agressive drugs with side effects and injections. Most chiropractors will tailor that care to the patients tolerance. The irrational fear some people have is fear of the unknown and some if this has been from others who badmouth or just advise them to stay away. I would always urge anyone who has back problems to see a chiropractor first. The benefits will always outweigh the risk, even if you have had surgery already

Tyr Managing Your Back Pain With Acupressure
Posted: 04-24-06 14:24pm

Hi ivan,
due to pain your back muscles are getting more and more tensed. This causes pain to become even worse. Try relaxing your back muscles with acupressure that you can do yourself. I have used it a lot and eventually put together an ebook with video clips showing exactly how you can use these techniques as well. I hope it will relieve your back pain problem too.
All the best,
virpi
