Q: Back Pain

Back pain describes pain or discomfort felt in the upper, middle, or lower back. The pain may extend to the hips and legs as well. The back consists of a complex arrangement of bone, ligaments, joints, muscles, and nerves, and pain can result from a problem with any of these components.

The most common cause is a strain of the back, which is small tear of the back muscles or ligaments. This usually results from a sudden or awkward movement, or from lifting a heavy object. But often, a person can’t remember a particular incident that brought on the pain.

My chiropractor has me do something called a "wobble." you stand on a balance board on one leg and do arm raises. This strengthens your core muscles. You can also do core exercises with a pilates or balance ball.

Bridges are another one my doctor makes me do. You get in push-up position, except with knees on the floor, and raise one arm and the opposite leg at the same time. Repeat sides.

I am currently looking for other exercises besides these to vary my routine. If you find any, let me know!
