Effective Lower Back Pain Treatment

Effective Lower Back Pain Treatment
By Morgan Hamilton
I first recall having back pains in October of 2004. On the outset it was nothing more than a minor irritant after having sat for too long. It is now become much more than that. I am definitely in one of the risk groups for needing lower treatment. My problem is pretty much brought on by my own doing. I am only and I do not exercise nearly as much as I should. Add to this the fact that I work at a desk all day, and you have a recipe for disaster. Intellectually, I probably knew this, but it was easy to ignore the risk signs until it was too late and I needed to get lower treatment myself.

In the beginning I thought I could tackle the problem stretching thoroughly and sleeping on a firm mattress. It actually does help alleviate the pain as the mattress supported my back a little better, and I'm sure that the stretching exercises that I did helped out.

But once again the fault lies with myself because I was never disciplined enough to stick with my exercise regimen in order for it to be effective as a lower treatment. So, you can probably guess what happened next, the just became worse And worse when, one day, I finally did it.

I completely threw out my back and couldn't move for four days. It was awful. I went to a chiropractor
