Pain When I’m In Bed

Is it pain when you lie down? On your back, from that old injury?

Inevitably It Comes Down To Your Spine Alignment...

It should be a bit better than a stack of pancakes. I’m thinking of this because I’m eating that for breakfast. They are a bit wobbly and aren’t perfectly aligned.

The lumbar spine or lower back is straight up and down looking at it front to back and an elliptical curve from the side. That’s like a half oval.

When it’s anything other than this there can be pressure on nerves. That can mean pain but can be many issues. It may be pain, it can be the way you walk, it might be bathroom issues, who knows.

Sleeping with a pillow under the legs when on your back and a pillow between the knees on your side.

I Get Pain When I Run!



Our spines go from our head to tail. Okay, we don't have tails - -it ends with the sacrum and coccyx at our butt. Where is the pain? Is it in the middle? Is it on one side? Is it in the neck or back?

I used to drive to work and always see this woman who walked on the road. She had a huge head tilt. You didn't have to be a doctor to notice that one. Maybe walking on the road got her into some trouble. It goes to Not Putting Yourself In Harms Way! Either way, when the spine is off, whether it's the neck, mid-back, or low back, we can get pain somewhere.

The whole spine is connected so you could have pain anywhere. Nerves that exit the spine go to every part of the body. Sometimes you have pain, butit could be somthin else too. Let's say those particular nerves supply the thyroid gland. Then it won't work like it should.

The bottom line is: If you are getting a symptom the there is nerve pressure somewhere. Even before that you may notice your posture isn't right. Posture that's abnormal typically means there will be nerve pressure somewhere!

If I Sit Too Long I Get Pain!

In the house I can move around quite a bit but sitting at the computer or being there too long can be an issue.

The solution: get the veridesk; so you could stand up and do your work. I see the commercial all the time where the employee stands at the station to do their computer work. As far as dinner goes, just get up after a while and move around. If you’re sitting watching TV with your spouse you know the same thing; you watch for a while, then move around a little to ease the back pain.

Get to the Chiropractor. He or she can adjust the low back to correct the issue. They also may have exercises and stretches specific for you.

So in the meantime do what you can. Periodically stand. On that car trip, plan for extra time so you can move around. When watching your son play ball - stand. These are just some examples but while taking a break from sitting is great but sometimes you are stuck. That’s when you can utilize that twist pillow for the lower back. Put it behind the back when you sit; maybe place it under the knees whey lying down. The Back Dr’s specializes in pain relief for the neck and the lower back. We will help you have better posture, get better sleep and help you be more comfortable. Helping you find natural remedies for your active lifestyle.

I Am Pain Free, I Can Do It...

Just because you’re pain-free doesn’t mean you should go and do things that are dangerous and possibly hurt yourself. Things are harmful to your body or mind qualify for things that are not good for you.

This also includes eating bad things, drinking in excess, exercising the wrong way or doing certain things that put you or loved ones in harms way.

This reminds me of someone I know that does crazy things so people see him on the internet. I even saw someone on tv who apparently makes wild jumps for YouTube. Sure, you may get some notoriety, but is risking your life worth it.

If it’s to make money; I’m sure there are other, safer things you can do. Whatever you do, Don't ever neglect your body!
