Answer 1

Osteopathic Doctor: Consult with a doctor or osteopathic medicine that is using manual manipulation. Some physical therapist are also trained in osteopathic manipulation. This is not a chiropractor!

Answer 2

Exercise: There are many studies on the subject of lower back pain. The majority suggest the best method of controlling chronic lower back pain is exercise to create core strength and loose weight. I also suggest daily stretching and core strength exercises. You can find these exercises at: http://harvardneurosurgeon.Com/pt2.Html.

Answer 3

Work-Up: There are many ways to treat back pain, but this is an open ended question as it depends on the cause. The most common cause is musculoskeletal strain/sprain which usually is treated with rest, anti-inflammatories, physical therapy/massage. If the cause is more involved such as a bulging disc, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis etc. Then treatments vary widely. First, get a good work-up.

Answer 4

Strengthen stomach: And back muscles. Learn proper lifting techniques.

Make sure to have a good diet and decrease any stress you may have. This will help!

LOW BACK PAIN: Begin with a gentle range of motion and stretching exercises. Incorporate a neutral spine core stability program with mcgill exercises such as planks(front and side), "birddog", and pull ins. May progress to a global dynamic strengthening program as able. This should build a strong foundation for your back and eliminate your pain and potential for future pain.
