My lower back is screwed

[Mimol1]

Morning all,

Just had my 4th back sprain of the year and getting kinda sick of it. The dr and chiro all say the same thing it's chronic due to the injuries suffered from my cricket days. They tell me to strengthen my back and that goes well for awhile then one day getting out of bed and it feels like I'm paralysed.

I've been doing some reading on hgh and some people claim that it can help to rid you of ailments and help the healing process.

Can someone help?

Been getting these too... I'm going chiro tommorow... In on back injury tour of asia lol

sprained mine three times this year... first two times i went to physio, and felt reasonably okay after a month or so. was assigned stretches/strengthening stuff etc

third time i went acupuncture instead (wasn't my idea)... two sessions later i feel like i never sprained it at all

maybe try acupuncture? beats fishing nzbb for hgh...

I find an osteo always helps me a lot more than a chiro. Just my 2cents.

Seems like with a chiro I constantly have to go back but with an osteo there is longer term relief. Plus rehab training.

GH don't do shit to help imbalances and let's be honest it's muscular imbalance that creates these spinal issues generally.

I have the chiro today and he'll be scanning my X-rays to make sure it's not another stress fracture. I'm just sick of going through the same motions all the time I want a solution not a temporary fix

Turns out its a back sprain combined with a small herniated disk. Have to step away from the gym for 3 to 6 weeks fml

I'd personally stay away from chiros...

I have the same feeling, maybe because I'm heavy and feel lots of things I don't understand. Hi Diabolic, why do you stay away from chiros?
