Help with Lower Back Pain and Sciatica

For many people, dealing with lower back pain can be debilitating. Whether the pain is acute or chronic, millions of Americans experience it at some point during their lives. Lower back pain can also lead to secondary problems such as sciatica. While a Cox Flexion Distraction table can often relieve pain, there are several types of treatment that could offer some relief once the root cause of the problem is identified. These include simple exercises you can do at home as well as more complex therapies that require the help of a professional.
 

Exercises To Help Back Pain

Back pain can be the result of a spinal condition, a strained muscle, pulled ligament, an inflamed or irritated joint, or a ruptured disc. The severity of the condition or injury plays a crucial role in determining the best treatment option.

• Knee-to-chest stretches
