Bad News for Me

[Spunky]

Lower back has been bothering me... I think from heavy deadlifts. Went to the chiro today... have a pinched nerve and twisted vertebrae? i think thats how u spell it... i have to go back tommorow for treatment, and twice a week until i am better. wish me luck. Only 21 years old too... hope this doesn't fuck my lifting up forever.

I have had the same problem and a severe bulging disc as well. The key is to rest and do a lot of abb and hip flexor work, DO NOT lift heavy on any muscle for a while or you will just make it worse. Be very careful at the Chiropractor and make sure they do not perform any major manipulations. It would also be helpful to have an MRI done so that you know exactly what you are dealing with. Good Luck

I think Chiropractor's are all a joke. I want to go in to one and tell him by back is hurting just so see what BS he makes up.

Oh you spine is crooked, you need to come in 3 times a weeks and let me pop your back..

Chiropractors == Drug Dealers

my mom had severe back problems and she has been seeing a chiro for 6 months and she is 100 times better.. so i do not agree.

I had problems with my back and shoulders and my chiro was a freegin miracle worker. I walked ..... if you want to call it that ...... into his office once with my lowe back KILLING me after I twsietd it. Within an hour after the appt I felt a LOT better. Awesome.

He also helped fix shoulder problems and problems with my neck as well.

Make sure yoyu get a good one with good referrals.

Chiropractors are miracle workers!! I would have chronic back pain without treatment.

just went for 1st actual treatment yesterday. the doc put some pads on my lower back and it kindda shocked my muscles. felt kindda odd, but my back felt a little better after first treatment. then he sat me on a weird looking contraption and stretched my lower back which felt great. too bad its hurting just as bad today.. of course he said it may take weeks worth of therapy to heal completely. can't wait for my next session tommorow.. back is killing me!!!!

Sorry to hear about your back. You might want to look into something called a reverse Hyperextension machine. It was invented by Louie Simmons a famous powerlifter, he invented this device when he developed a lower back injury. If you go to www.elitefitnesssystems.com it will tell you about it. I use it at my gym and it basically acts a recuperative therapy, it supposed to open up your vertebrae relieving stress. Check it out, can't hurt. Good luck.

Bro, be aware - Chiros are con men. They are NOT a legitamate medical practice and there is NO supporting medical evidence for benefit for what they do.

Their job - their life - their practice - is to convince you that there is something wrong with you that they need to treat. Hence, you need to go twice a week... so that they can BILL you twice a week.

Go to an orthopedist if you seriously believe you have a problem. AN orthopedist has been to medical school. A chiropracter hasn't.
