Best form of treatment for low back pain (weakened core)?
« on: May 11, 2017, 12:35:13 AM »
Had an ab injury last summer. Since then my core weakened and my posture was horrendous during this time. MAJOR compensation on one side, which affected the muscles around my pelvis and has led my lower back to be in serious protection mode. It's painful as a bitch. What is the best way to get the lower back out of protection mode and restore alignment and strengthen my core. I'm 39 and this ain't fun. I've NEVER had back issues until last year.

You have to work the front as well as the back, those two sets of muscles work together...

Strengthen your core the best you can
Also make sure your back is flexible - especially thoracic spine area


Use cannabis and don't go to narcotics

A lot of old farts swear by reverse hyper extensions for the low back. You need to work your abs as well for balance. Good luck.

Any chance this can be combinated with a supinated bicepcurl machine?

1. Start w/soft tissue work foam roller, lacrosse balls, etc

2. Glute, Psoas activation with mini-bands this a just an example of the complex we do every lower body day

3.Keep core work limited to anti-rotation (Pallof press, etc). Transverse Abdominis for about 4-6 weeks

4. Posterior chain work. Most people are quad dominant and takes over the hamstrings leaving the glutes and lower lumbar, psoas weak and vulnerable to injury. One weak link out the chain is all it takes. Weak hamstrings also leave knees vulnerable to injuries as well.

5. A shit load of hamstring, glute and low back stretches, static holds.

Am I doing all 5 points at the same time, or is there an incremental timeline I should be following? Thanks for all the info btw man. It's much appreciated. I'm losing all patience over here. I've seen a chiro 4 times, a therapeutic masseuse, 2 osteopaths and still 0 relief. In fact, it's been getting worse (spreading). Was going to try an acupuncturist next week, but I realize they don't help to rehabilitate me. Just need some relief from this constant pain. Should I be aligning myself with any one professional? Athletic Therapist? Physio?
