Best video to explain lower back pain ...iam also suffered from lower back pain for many years...the best treatment of lower back pain is only exercises not medications....analgesics and muscle relaxant affects is short term and but exercises affects long term and may life good ...so only do exercise and avoid medicine as possible...because doctors never give information about it, doing business only...this is my experience.

My pain is gone. After months of effort. It is extremely important to have an active role in your own health. You have to sense what your body needs. And track thoughts and emotions. It is much more than lower back pain alone. 😊

I can understand that a lot of people posting comments or replies to others' comments have felt pain before or feeling pain now. I am one of them

God bless us all so that all of our ailments, diseases, and injuries get well soon and recover well soon 🙏 Please take care. Health is Wealth. All the best!

I have seen plenty of videos on low back pain but this is by far the best in terms of explaining the spine, lovely animations and guiding the back pain sufferer. well done Guys.

This video was very helpful, I developed chronic back pain about a year and a few months ago. I have a few bulging discs in my lower back. I wish I would've found this video sooner. I've been applying myself A LOT for the last three months and I'm finally seeing progress in alleviating my low back pain. what i want to say to anyone reading this is suffering from low back pain is that there is light at the end of the tunnel, stay the course and trust the process.

My treatment as a person who suffered from chronic low back pain for years, which has already been cured, I would add: some massage in the deep muscles of the spine and around (osteopathy), some stretching of muscles attached to that area, some tractions of the low back (standing between two chairs hold your own weight partially, using your hands/arms), constant gentle movement, bending/bowing without fear and after that, when you feel better, start lifting some good weights (squats) to make all than chain of muscles work again properly. Warning: it could take several years but the results worth the effort.

I'm not alone😭its been 13yrs I'm suffering this pain cause by accident😢until now I'm struggling 😢thank u so much for this video I clearly understand now.. Im hoping exercise will help me feel better 😊

I've been searching, asking, visiting doctors and having MRI for about 8 years just for finding what is exactly my problem, but None of them could explain to me what my problem was like this video.
So thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹.

[elnurhuseynov]

I would recommend everyone whose back pain just started and still can walk, just watch this video and do these things after MRI checking. No need to anything, if it is bulging you guys still can fix it.. good luck!

Finally a professional video. Thanks Canada.

I am a Physiotherapist and feel very sorry for patients who are pumped with analgesics by doctors without referring them for physiotherapy. My heart aches when I see someone suffering from chronic low back pains that gets to the severity of requiring surgery. It's my prayer that Physiotherapists and other spinal specialists engage in more advertisement to introduce our profession to the general public because some genuinely have no idea of what we can offer them

Great video,
I have been struggeling with lower back issues for the last 2 years, my physiotherapist gave me the advice to buy an infrared massage appliance. I bought an Inframass mattress, I feel so much better after every session. I use it once a day sometimes even twice, I would highly recommend it to everyone who has chronic back pain.

[HiVizCamo]

There really is no short-cut or magical manoeuvre to fix this. I've got myself into this and I have the ability to get myself out of it as well. Age-related wear and muscle laziness has been an eye-opener here, I have got to get busy re-strengthening to prepare for the coming decades. Great video, both narration and images, thank you.

2.48 was so pleasing to see. I have recently had a disc bulge and was on bed for 2 weeks straight. After the spasm is released I am experiencing sciatica perve pain back from the butt all the way down to calf muscles. I was told the disc can't go back to its normal position and have to live with a damaged disc. I have just started lower back strengthing exercises and this video exactly reflects what I am going through. I hope the exercises help.

[khairul]

This is the most good explanation of lower back pain i ever saw. Who ever do this video, thank you so much. Im having slip disc after mri scan few days ago. Im im searching explanation video of what im experiencing. Thank you so much.

I've been having sever pain from L5/S1 herniation and have already gone through 2 surgeries in the past 2 years.
The pain sometimes gets so much, in spite of painkillers, that sometimes staying alive seems an absolute agony and torture.
Thanks for a nice video 🌷🙏

And the doctors in Germany wanted to operate on me directly. Weakness. I'm going to try that. Thanks

[ghieoptimist]

Having chronic neck and lower back pain is most debilitating condition one could ever have. Doing frequent back core exercises helps me a lot. Thanks for this.

Informative video. 👍🏼 Yoga has been helping me significantly with my lower back pain along with working with my posture, taking vitamins, sleeping well, having a healthy diet and trying to control my stress levels.
