i have had multiple problems with my lower back for a very long time. i had been seeing a chiropractor for about 7 years.

just recently, i had been having even more problems with it, and chiropractic was not helping. so i went to see my physical therapist.

she told me that i basically have a tight back. like really tight. she started a complete joint stretching program for me. she gave me homework, daily and hourly stretches to do. now, my back has never felt better. i am not seeing my chiropractor anymore

here is the reason: if you don't have joint mobility, and if the joints are not properly stretched, it doesn't matter how many times your chiropractor adjusts you and puts you back to neutral, you will always "pop out" of your adjustment. meaning you will NEVER hold your adjustment properly because your back is too tight.

i was asked by my p.t. why my chiropractor wasn't doing any joint stretching with me, and the answer is that i don't really think he knew what to do.

while i believe in many instances chiropractic has it's place, it no longer is needed for my ailment, because i now know what is really wrong.

if you are interested, i can send you the pictures and handouts of the exercises i do that my p.t. gave me.

btw: a male friend of mine is a cop, he carries a lot of extra weight on his belt, and his uniform. so he has serious problems with back pain. since i have taught him my stretching program, his back doesn't hurt anymore. another satisfied customer!!
