How can I get rid of sudden lower back pain when bending?

I fell asleep in my office chair the other night (with poor posture, of course) and I’ve had a bad pain in my lower back since (it happened 2 days before the posting of this question). I’m not usually feeling this pain when just walking around or sitting stationary in a chair, but if I [...]

Should I sue or just a write a letter of complaint, and product improvement recommendation…?

I was injured on an Inversion Table that came apart while I was preparing to use it. I had to get x-rays… the seat of my jeans got caught, punctured and ripped (5" rip) on a bracket. I had severe pain in my tail-bone, my ‘gluteus-maximus’ was badly bruised with a small puncture mark. I [...]

THORACIC SPINE BURNS?

My upper spine burns like sh** When I get on my inversion table, I feel that t4 or t5 disc popping, it also hurts when I raise my arms. I’m 40 lbs over weight right now, and I know being overweight is not helping my posture or upper spine. Could my Temperpedic Mattress be part [...]

Damage to the piriformis muscle vs bulging L4/5 disc?

In April 2007 I overexerted myself walking (long strides) and the next month was an endless string of emergency room visits, Demerol, Oxycodone, and ultimately oral steroids.

How long does Chiropractic care take, and when should I finally leave?

I’m aware of how many people want to take the opportunity to bash chiropractors, but I’ve already been to a very reputable doctor already (before I saw a chiropractor) who only prescribed an exercise rehabilitation program at an accredited center that didn’t help and cost just as much. I’ve had a sharp pain under my [...]

Can I still grow taller? Any help?

Okay, I’m probably one of two million people that ask this same question, but I really want to grow. I’m 18 and 5’7” and Asian. I calculated that my height should be 5’8” but I’m not even 5’8” and I want to be taller. I want to do everything it takes. I heard men stops [...]

I have a herniated disc L1/S1. Sciatica is a normal part of my life. Has anyone tried SPINAL DECOMPRESSION?
