I frequently get asked “who takes care of you?” Well, Friday I “tweaked” my low back. I had trouble bending, getting up and down. So what did I do??

I’ll break it down further and in greater detail, but basically I dialed things back for a while, did some stretching and movements that didn’t hurt, and repeated the process - once Friday, twice Saturday. Added some light walking on the treadmill Saturday (30 mins), and by today I’m 90% better. I did my normal Sunday weight lifting, slightly easier than normal, with no extra pain.

Acute back pain can be scary. But it doesn’t have to be.

We will be closed on Monday. Patients should be notified shortly, if they haven’t already. Stay safe and warm

With the impending snow storm, surely one of the news stations is going to trot someone out to tell you how to safely shovel snow to “protect your back”.

Here’s what they’re missing — are you healthy enough for strenuous exercise? Heart, lungs, muscles, joints, etc? If you’re not healthy enough to go lift heavy weights at a gym for at least an hour, then you’re probably not going to fare well shoveling, no matter how you do it!

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your feedback and support. Maybe I am doing something right!? 😉

I have been saying this for a while…it’s not your phone! Not “text neck” causing your pain.
