  Now we need to have a psychiatrist on to explain how chronic back pain is often psychosomatic. Several family/primary care doctors I know and know of are so convinced of this that they won&apos;t take a picture since they don&apos;t think it will be useful.<br> <br>And in my case, they were right. Losing weight and yoga fixed me right up. But in my buddy&apos;s case, they were wrong. After 3 years of complaining, his third doctor suggested an x-ray might help. Stage 4, gone in 6 months.

  To reduce your chances of having back pain you need to strengthen the glutes, core, and also stretch and strengthen the hips.

  As usual I think the issue for &nbsp;people is how long it takes to get a clear and accurate diagnosis to 1. Streamline the therapeutic approach, 2, not do things or know which things you cannot do with your specific condition, and 3. Not have this process take years to accomplish both accurate diagnosis and condition focused intervention. People spend years having back pain on in part because they have never had a specific plan to specifically address the cause of their particular back issue. More on back related injury rehab etc will be something to look forward to in these videos. 😊

  I think massage should once again be covered by our medical because massage is a top self-management

  I have a 3 lumbar fusion and since I started doing tons of leg squats and abdominal training my back pain is almost completely gone. Sitting for long periods makes it go into spasm thank you for giving back pain suffering a voice!

  I just had s bilevel lumbar laminectomy. Unbelievable pain prior to the procedure for a little over a year. The pain right after the procedure is again unbelievable but 4 weeks post surgery it is now more manageable. Lots of PT coming up. Best wishes to all who suffer from chronic back pain! Thank you doctors for featuring this malady.
