its when one of your vertebrae slips forwards or backwards...
i just found out that my L5 is real out and its super painful. just wondering if anyone has this and what they do the counteract it.
yeah i study massage but i was just wondering specifics that actually help people. from a text book point everything i've read about doesn't seem to help me.
stupid backs.
it usually occurs down in the lumbar spine.. and its kind of obvious when people have it because there will be an indent or notable curvature of the spine. that sounds like whats going on with me right now, its fine if i'm sitting and not moving.. but when i try and stand up its mega pain. its also okay while i'm standing. i was told that mine is from hyper extending my knees (locking them backwards while standing) and its creating a non ideal pelvic tilt which is causing my L5 to slip anterior (towards stomach). just everything i've tried still hurts.. also massaging people all week dosen't help my situation at all either. i'm envious when i'm massaging their low backs haha!
beezy, that sucks heaps... monitor it though because if the middle of the disc gets herniated too badly it can push against your spinal cord and cause damage. sometimes going for massage is real good for "slipped disc" because it can sometimes get that fluid to go back in.
i'm canadian... health care is free.
if you read any of that, you'd see i study massage therapy... i know the "textbook" ways to treat it... but nothing is helping so i was hoping for some alternative comforts that work for other people.
fuck off.
