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!

Getting Adjusted Is A Piece to the Health Puzzle!

Aligning your spine is very important for your nervous system. Your nervous system is the main system of your body. It controls other systems in your body like your immune system for example. Keeping things in alignment helps that nervous system as best as possible and the reason is you could imagine the spine and nerves that come out of it so when the spine is out of alignment there’s pressure on nerves.

Therefore, if you have pressure on nerves and things don’t work like they should then they can start to fail or decline it may not be just your health in general, maybe your gait or the way you move. That may be a first time, so be aware of them keep in your mind and make sure your health is at the best possible level it can be a big help in the long run; and not only is that good for you but good fair family as well.

How Can I Alleviate My Back Pain?



The 1st step in getting rid of back pain is prevention! Don't get it in the first place. It most likely will happen though. So not only know what you can do to get rid of it but know how to prevent it too...

About 80% of us will experience some back pain in our lives. It’s responsible for a lot of lost work and has cost many a lot of money.

Let’s not be a statistic. Aligning one part of the spine can help align another. So, for example, putting the neck in place, may help the low back, etc...

That being said, we may use a back rest for the lower back but maybe a good neck pillow too. In fact, doing as much as you can is often the best bet!

When I Have One Pain Already, Any Other Pain Or Problem Seems Much Worse...!



We really need to do two things - 1) work on that 1st issue (probably the more major issue) 2) Try to fix and/or prevent any other issues from occurring.

For example: Joe has major back pain. Because of it he sits a lot (less pain). And because of this he’s not going to the bathroom...

That can lead to other issues too, so he walks a little back and forth in the house. He’s also created a good stretch routine each morning. This helps get things moving and it helps loosen him up. This comes in handy for many reasons!

I Have Pain When I Sit At The Dinner Table

If you just have pain in one spot you must ask yourself: What Is It About That Spot?

So, let’s examine the chair at the diner table... Is it to hard? Do you sink in it?Does it slope to one side? Maybe it’s something else. Maybe you just spend too much time there.

I used to have a chair at my computer desk that I had to get rid of. When I did, my back felt so much better.
