For me it's all about prevention. In particular I like yoga for strengthening my "core" which helps stave off back issues. It's also important to know your limitations. For example, just because you might be able to lift something heavy, doesn't mean you should lift it by yourself. If you want to rearrange a chair in your living room, have a few people help you. |

I see a chiropractor for adjustments and also get massages twice a month. I was in severe pain from a compression fracture in my T9 but after 6 months of treatment I live pain free. I tried traditional medicine but it was just muscle relaxers and pain killers and I couldn't function. Plus I have resumed activities such as cycling, yoga, and tai chi. |
