Thanks very much. Yes, heat helps, but my chiropractor explained to me that only so much will help - he likened it to a glass that you fill with water, and eventually it’s just overflowing and doing no good.
I find Chiro adjustments very helpful, as well as physical therapy - the stretching of the lower back especially. I’m just so busy with other stuff, and lazy about doing it. When you go for treatments, you’re sort of under the gun, and have to perform. After you learn it all, and need to keep it up at home, you get lazy ;-)
I need to quit being lazy! and realize that at my age, this is just as important as the other ‘busy work’ ;-0
Me too. I went for physical therapy when my knee froze up, and I used to do the exercises for low back pain daily, then several times a week and less and less.
While I used to have back pain, the surprising thing to me is that my back isn’t hurting. It’s from the glutes all the way to the end of pinkie toe. Especially the butt, thigh, calf and heel.
