Top 5 Essential Exercises You Need To Help Fix Back Arthritis

Back arthritis is often seen as a doomsday diagnosis by people and their doctors. Doctors often tell their patients that they’ll “eventually need surgery”, and “it’s just a matter of time” because it’s an “age-related problem.”

Once healthcare providers show their patients the x-rays or MRIs of the their lower backs and tell them they have things like, “facet arthropathy,” “lumbar osteoarthritis,” “facet arthritis” or “facet osteoarthritis” (these are all medical terms used for back arthritis) they don’t have much to offer to fix this. Doctors are best trained in offering medications and recommending surgery.

We staunchly refuse this!!! In more than 9 out of 10 cases of lower back arthritis, it is possible to get more mobility, reduce pain, and return to normal again!

You’ve just got to start on the right treatment. Chances are you’ve got a muscle imbalance that is causing your back arthritis problem. It’s the muscle imbalance that’s the true root of the problem.

Muscle imbalances don’t show up on x-rays or MRIs. Doctors and surgeons aren’t trained to find them and very rarely know about them and how they influence back arthritis so much.

In this video, Dr. David shows you how to start exercising properly to help fix back arthritis at the root so that you can get back to normal without surgery, injections or medications.

After 2 days of horrible pain, you bought me relief. 😊

[annaj]

Thank you for your video! I am 51 and have been diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis in my L4 & L5 as well as a bulged disc. I have intense pain and tightness in my left hip and find standing for extended periods of time difficult. I was seeing a physio who had me doing knee to chest stretches, side to side bent knee stretches and standing upward stretches, all of which was causing me more pain. My mum has been telling me to do planks to strengthen my core muscles but I didn’t feel any of this was helping. Thank you for explaining the mechanics of the lumbar spine and giving me simple exercises that will actually help my condition.

Best advice I have found on YouTube for low back osteoarthritis! Thanks! I have long term chronic back & hip pain, severe arthritis, scoliosis, spondylosis, worsening stenosis, bone spurs & kyphosis. Inherited some issues & early years in poverty without proper nutrition are factors. I teach yoga & Pilates for many years & have kept my pain manageable until the last 6 months, your instructions are very enlightening. I thought focus on back muscle strength was good, bit with all the arthritis it was too much.

[jackrook]

Thank you for always giving useful ingormation. My own improvement is miraculous from your instruction, so I am very grateful for your being here for so many. God bless you always.

[AnneKalil-oy]

Best presentation for help with osteoarthritis I have seen. I would like to see one for back muscle stiffness. Thank you.

[va]

Very well explained and demonstrated. I hate exercising (LOL) but I hate my arthritis pain more. I appreciate your explanation on what is felt when the exercise form is incorrect too. Thank you for your videos! You have your own playlist in my saved videos.

[mikelittle]

Well I just found your page and I've been doing the stretches for about 5 days now. And wow what a difference. I'm not giving up my golf game. I know that probably makes you cringe but it has made a significant impact. I still hurt but it's manageable now

[lynchian]

I love the way you take time to explain the mechanics of the exercises in detail. The best out there...

[ladyvirgo]

Hey Doc, , Would You Recommend I Get Deep Tissue Back Massages For All My Spinal Issues Or Could It Only Make My Issues Worse?? PLEASE HELP 🙏🏽??

[ashleyholt]

Thank you for sharing this and also what is a good one for the middle back with OA and scoliosis?

[mary-janechambers]

This is great! My doctor gave me a few of these exercises but you make sure technic is correct! Thanks so much 😊

[carolbenson]

So appreciated! Thank you for leading me to these videos!

[CarnivoreConnie]

Thank you! Can't wait to try this.
Previous physio gave me a bunch of back exercises that hurt like hell every time!

[tonylennon]

Those five exercises are easy to follow and easy to do, which is exactly enough of a daily challenge for an octogenarian like me.

[jamest]

Thank you sir. Your exercises are effective, really provide instant relief and its good knowledge. Happy to know it will get better and may improve without surgery. Thank you doctor.

[dianeconnell]

Trying for the first time and I get lil released thanks will continue ❤

[monicaturner]

My physical therapist had me do this standing up, but doing the tilt while bending my knees. The point is to tilt your pelvis without using my thighs or butt muscles. It took weeks to barely do it. Then I had to do it standing, then do it while walking, and finally do it while doing lunges. I was doing this to help with my pelvic adhesions that tightened up my core. It really helped with pain and flexibility.

[GrimsbyNath]

Would you avoid the bird dog exercise and dead bugs?

[shaymalamanjunath]

[pamwedel]
