Have you ever experienced throwing your back out? Has the pain ever been so bad you can't move or are even stuck on the ground or stuck in a chair?! Well we have seen that before and we can help you. Pro Motion Chiropractic will do an emergency at home chiropractic visit. Typically when this happens it does not take much to set it off. Something as small as sneeze or twisting wierd can set off major back pain or a back spasm. Especially with Spring cleaning and all that landscaping work needing to be done, we are seeing this more often.
After a thorough history and examination we will include a treatment based off of Mechanical Diagnostic and Therapy (MDT). Most of the time this issue is due to some type of a disc injury and the surrounding musculature is guarding/protecting. Majority of the time we find extension as the directional preference with this. The steps include taking the person through a sustained extension process by increasing the degree of lumbar extension within a certain pain scope. This should help the injured area enough to help the person get up and walk around. It is recommended that once you can get up and walk around with less intensity or frequency of pain you will need to get into the clinic for additonal treatment to help this pain completely subside and not return!
This video shows an intro of how to approach if you throw out your back to help calm down the spasms and decrease the pain.
While on the floor get on your stomach.
Get a pillow and slide it under your chest. Your back pain will increase at first give it up to 10 minutes to allow the pain to calm down.
Add an additional pillow, make sure to not add another pillow until the back pain has calmed down. Again the pain will increase when adding another pillow.
Repeat until you are at a height about as high as you would be if you were on your forearms.
Make sure to keep your glutes relaxed throughout this process.
Go see your local Chiropractor to help this pain completely subside and not return!
