Low back pain and slow healing

[gondar1]

@OmegaBravo7
Diagnosing and prescribing treatment of an injury on a forum is difficult at best unless the injury is very simple.

Having said that, the best sort of overall back treatment I've experienced when shit goes sideways is the simple hang from an overhead bar. 30 seconds minimum for a handful of sets. Provides a natural(?) form of traction/distraction/decompression and is great for the shoulders for most folks too. Helps me with overall tightness and sciatica in particular.
At around the 30 second mark I can actually feel my spine lengthen. I saw a reel recently of a girl in tight gym wear doing it and it looked like her spine lengthened by about 2 inches.

If you can find a good chiro they can make a world of difference.

Ive also been using the reverse hyper extension and it’s really helped strengthened my back.

I had lower back issues for years sometimes would last for couple months at a time barely being able to even put socks on . Chiro didn’t help too much for me it would always come back but hyper extensions and massages I think is what cured it for me. I make sure I do hyper extensions at least couple times a week now and go get a massage once a month and haven’t really had any issues in over two years now

For me it’s when I’m SI joint gets inflamed it pretty much cripples me . Can’t do anything . I just ice it , mild stretch and have to wait it out .. I’m at that right now.. taking a month off the gym to heal it .. just sucks cause I lose my appetite and lose all my gains .

My wife also has SI issues, very debilitating. Before she finally had it diagnosed the SI was so severe it compromised her shoulder (nerve damage) and her glutes were in constant pain, “on fire” her word's. Couldn’t stand, sit or lye down. For lack of a better word she was crippled more or less.

Long long story short she found a husband and wife team, trainer/chiropractor in Colorado. They had her do specific excercises and film it and through that they diagnosed the issue and gave her a program that in the first month her discomfort was cut in half and now she says shes at 99%, its always there as a constant reminder though but omg she is so much better

She says "Immobilty is a killer"

100%. I get SI issues once or twice per year. It’s brutal! Last time it happened, just before Xmas the wife had to put on my socks and tie my shoes for 5 days.

Chiropractor and mobility work only thing that works

Well the good news is as we get older the discs harden and these issues usually lessen, lol. But then we are old, lol

Its not a disc its the Sacroiliac Joint. Not that uncommon in strength training. You definitly have to switch up your program, load bareing like squats or dead lifts are out.

Oddly enough the two types that seem to be likely to get this is like i first said, strength training and obese people sitting all time.

Mine is from the way I need to stand and lift because of work. I have no way of fixing my movement that is why I do massage every month and the stretch I posted above a couple times a day.

I also do lots of martial arts inspired leg stretching, lol. Well because I’m trying to see if I can do the splits again like when I was 16 in martial arts, lol. I can tell you it’s not going well. Not sure if I’ll ever be able to.

I can squat and dead lift again without issue thank god. But my issue is likely different than your wife’s.

Before embarking on any stretching program, a good read of Stretching Scientifically by Tomas Kurz is a must. Maybe even Science of Sports Training by Tom Kurz as well.

Yeah it’s worst ever .. I’m going for injections tomorrow and hopefully they work and I can get back on track

What works best for me is stretching hamstrings, active release on my back shoulders and hips using a lacrosse ball, and working the muscle with extremely light weight and high reps (50+ reps nowhere near failure). Half reps work too. Build slowly from there.
