I have been suffering with chronic back pain for a couple a months. Seeing a chiro. What I love about you is you explain the whys and it makes total sense to me. For someone like me who has never suffered from back pain in my 71 years I am grateful to you and although I do do the exercises you suggest I now know why.
May I ask a question please. When I push my fingers into each and every part of my musculature or pull my fingers over the area it feels sore. Is it moving the connective tissue sheath that is causing the soreness/light pain, or is it the muscle fibres themselves. Had lower and mid back pain for the last 30 years, but the general soreness has only been for last 2 years and seemed to coincide with the use of an inversion table where something made a tearing noise. Thanks.
I'm sure you can appreciate it's pretty difficult to say what is going on for you from this information. It could be that you have damaged some part of your body when using the inversion table. The general soreness you feel could be due to an overstimulation of your nervous system caused by (possibly) the inversion table combined with your history of back pain. This could cause the localised sensory nerve fibres to be on high alert especially when touched. If you've not already discussed this with your GP that would be a good starting point. Myofascial release treatment from a suitably experience therapist may also be beneficial. I hope this information helps you and that you find a solution to your current pain issues.
@@paincareclinic3838 Thank you. Tried physio when I had the initial back injury and about every 10 years but it only makes it more painful, hence tried inversion out of desperation and it causes it to spasm! Not been to GP as they only have 2 options, physio (which has never worked) or corticosteroids (as a clinical researcher I know the cure is worse than the malady). I did try the knee to the chest and it did seem to stretch the back out and give a little relief to the nerves going down the front and back of my thigh and strangely my pelvis became less sore when I prodded it. So thanks.
@@paincareclinic3838 I see you sell them so will be ordering some. I have been doing the side, lower back and breathing exercises. How many times a day should I do them and how long will it take for this dreadful pain of more than 2 months start to abate without painkillers?
Yes these can help with sciatica - be mindful with the hip flexor stretch and have your foot/leg supported if you do the version lying with your leg off the side of a bed.

what size is the myofascial ball?
it's about 10cm in diameter

Can I do these exercises with herniated discs/sciatica? Might they help?
Can I do these exercises if I have herniated discs/sciatica? Might they help?

Many thanks for that. Really helpful.
