Just curious, all those with some form of back injuries...

do you need to have this mandatory "crack" on your back every morning? (a left - right swing, then a touch the toe)


Regards,

Regards,

There's always a crack whenever you move your back man

but to be honest, I had many years of back pain. It was so bad to the extent of calling my missus to use her entire body weight to press my back on a daily basis. But since going to do acupuncture about 2 years ago, the pain stopped and I hadn't needed any massages from her since.

However, you'll need to find a good acupuncturist. You'll know when you meet one.

There r many good info posted by many bros, be it TCM, ACUPUNCTURE or CHIRO.
Best is to know the root of ur probs.
1) Is it due bone trauma?
2) Is it due muscular?
3) Is it due neurological?
4) Is it due broken, dislocated bones?
5) Is it due slipped disc?
6) Is it due disc degeneration?

This one, for me, based on experience, X-RAY shows signs of disc degeneration but MRI revealed the cause as slipped disc.

Best to get to the root of the prob & only then, apply the right treatment.
Anyhow try try may make it worst than better

I think any bro here having back pains best to first seek medical help and get MRI done. When i was in my early 30s, I never recognize the signs of a slipped disc, I always put it down to a strain back muscle. It would get so bad that I could not even wake up from bed and walk. I had to hunch around like a old man. My ocassional visits to the doc would have my condition brush off as bad seating posture etc. It was only a visit to my Chinese sinseh that got the alarm sounded off. He had warned me against doing anymore physical exercise like jogging, I was actually doing 5km three times a week. But the pain during jogging got so bad that it felt like a knife was been stabbed into my lower back. Funny thinking back, it never occur to me to seek any med opinion, again i put it down to muscle strain, how i regret this decision now.

Following my sinseh advise I went to a specialist who got me to do an MRI, it was during this that I found out that my disc condition got so bad that it had totally degenerate. Now there is nothing cushioning both veterbrate, the pain is a perpetual one at the lower back. Doc has advise me not to got for ops if pain is bearable. So now I visit my TCM chiro once a month just to let him "crack" here and there.

Bro, this is very risky business. Since there's no cushioning of the vertebra, ur bone will be rubbing against each other, no matter how much cracking the TCM does, it'll only erode the bone away.

Seriously, I think u should seek some serious options for personally, the TCM path is not a permanent option.

Just my concerned 2cts worth no offense

Thanks bro. Gonna make an appt with him soon. Hopefully I'm able to get a slot soon. I'm probably having some mild scoliosis that is causing some chronic pain/sore in my neck and shoulder. They are bearable. But I think I would like to get them treated. Previous chiro experience doesn't seem to able to help a lot.

What kind of treatment are they using and what are the charges like?
Your scoliosis is better as in they are more straight now?
The one I have been to have been doing Adjustments only, each session is Abt 5-10 mins.

Bro, I had an xray done, mri also done, but nothing found.. its just I have this serious ache at my lower back, especially if I do not stretch once in awhile (once in few hours or less).. and whenever I stretch, I can feel the 'crack' followed by a 'lengthen' sensation

No problem bro, I had explored options of surgery but oc not in favor as doc put risk of complication such as paralysis at 5%. So that sort of scare her off. I am also a little worried now since i am now entering my 50s, for the time being i still can tahan but i worried when i get older how am i going to deal with the pain and ache...

Most welcome HTM.
Ur worry is the same as the one I expressed in my post to u.
I hv disc degen on a disc, one disc above the slipped disc but still not RED ZONE yet, so still can maintain.

But after what u said, honestly, u r rite in the fact tat since ur entering ur 50s, if u wanna do it, now's a better time than later.
Once past this age into silver age, the complications will even be at higher risk.
Not forgetting recovery rate will not be faster than now.
Too much too lose bro IMHO!

From my limited knowledge of disc degen, the older we get, the stiffer we r. Imagine ur condition in 10yrs time.
I actually visualised it bro, & I'm sorry to be honest, but I didn't like wat i saw.

Seriously, wat ever our OC says, at the end of the day, we LIVE the pain. They can only watch but never feel the pain we went thru no matter how much tears they contribute.

In total honesty, if it wasn't for my GP, whom I trust wif my life, I wud hv gone for the disc OP without a second tot.

It was my wife who constantly reminded me at the clinic tat we're suppose to go back to the GP for a second opinion, else I wud hv booked the next avail OP schedule at Mt E.

But if I was in ur shoes bro, watever who says wat, I'll just fix it.
My personal opinion only bro no offense

If you have a serious backache especially accident, after carrying something, jumping or even standing from a squat & felt that sharp pain at lower back. See a doc & go for an MRI. Most of us suffer from lower slip-disc & this will hurt you really bad once you age. Stiff shoulders, neck pain, headaches, numbed legs & arms will show up then worse. Your sex life will be compromised.

A few of my friends woke up one morning & were bed ridden due to slip-disc complications. There's a lot of nerves on our back & try not to go for an opt until the last resort.

I'm practising Qi-gong now to improve blood/Qi flow to whole body & joints. Avoid duck, sour & spicy stuffs. Sometimes even the caffeine in coffee will affect especially cold drinks, avoid them.
