Back injuries result from damage, wear, or trauma to the bones, muscles, or other tissues of the back. Common back injuries include sprains and strains, herniated disks, and fractured vertebrae. The lumbar is often the site of back pain. The area is susceptible because of its flexibility and the amount of body weight it regularly bears. It is estimated that low-back pain may affect as much as 50 to 70 percent of the general population in the United States.

Low-back pain is often the result of incorrect lifting methods and posture. Repetitive lifting, bending, and twisting motions of the torso affect both the degree of severity and frequency of low-back pain. In addition, low-back pain may also be the result of bad lifting habits. Sedentary lifestyles most often lead to weak abdominal muscles and hamstrings. This causes the stronger muscles which have remained strong to pull the body away from its optimal anatomical form. The imbalanced muscles cause people to continue to perform these repetitive actions. This results in misplaced force application within the spine, often resulting in hemorrhage of disks within the spinal column.

How long after a back injury should you wait before working out again?
Q. How long should you wait after pulling a muscle in your back, leading to pain for a few days but able to function fairly normally, before you return to your workout regime?
Asked by Magnum Opus - Fri Nov 7 02:52:22 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Your Doctor should advise that to be safe. From experience I know as long as it doesn't hurt to do it though it should be ok. Most exercise tapes have a person doing the exercises with modification so you don't hurt yourself. I personally recommend Turbo Jam through beachbody.com and just modify for your level. Start slow and increase as tolerated, if it hurts don't do it!

Is energy healing, or vitamin or herbals, able to treat a back injury from an accident, as diagnosed on MRI?
Q. I have several herniated and bulging discs that occurred during a horse riding accident. I have been reading about a lot of different energy healing approaches, and I know that it can especially treat pain associated with emotional wounds and Quantum Touch will even straighten a spine. But has energy healing been shown to help your body heal broken disc walls, in your back, etc?
Asked by rage'n - Mon Nov 23 02:15:31 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In time, the discs will heal, regardless of if you do fringe medical things like herbs, etc. At the 1-year point, surgery and "conservative management" have similar outcomes.
