tore some muscles in my middle back last month.. never done chiro before but got recommended to one..
took about 2 weeks and 8 visits but its a lot better now
I always just did massage or physio but this whole chiro thing really seemed to help
Chronic back injury checking in. Find a good chiro that you're comfortable with (whether it be the classic back cracking kind or torque release with the little spring loaded gun thing, which I prefer) and you will feel a lot better.
Dr Brandon Grant at Catalyst. Hes the third one i went to and he does things a little different but so far he works wonders with his voodoo black magic.. i mean Chiro abilities

Good call on Catalyst. I go to Dr Stephan Sigalet there, and he is an ace.
It took months to get in to see him, but well worth the wait. Plus, I wasn't doing much else at the time.
He put Sidney Crosby back together after his concussion. Walking in and seeing all the NHL jerseys gives you some confidence. Plus, Milan Lucic was there the last time I had an appt. That man is huge!
Anyone ever strain their lower back muscle? Near the SI joint / lower back before the pelvis? Having some trouble bending over fully in the mornings and during a long day, a good foam roll usually helps, but wondering if any one knows a remedy.... heat compression? cold compression? etc etc.

Back pain can come from so many different places. I figured out that my pain was coming from tight hips and leg muscles. Cycling, snowboarding, and playing hockey have given me strong legs, but the muscle is very sport specific, which means that it's not even and uniform. This pulls my hips out of position where they lock up due to my desk job.
This stretch here has been a life saver for me.
youtube "couch stretch". It's very simple to do, and quite satisfying.

Yup.
I couldn't get in to see Stephan back in May when I pulled my groin. So I saw Dr Trent Wittal, who was a wealth of knowledge. At age 39, I came back from a nasty groin pull in just 7 weeks.
Man I miss my 20's when I would be back in 2-3 weeks from the same injury.....
I have tweaked my lower back on a few occasions, when pushing squats too far or too fatigued, and my form breaks, causing me to lean forward. It's probably not nearly as bad as the problems others in this thread are having, but for minor pain, this advice may help.
The 90/90 breathing exercise does WONDERS for it. It's actually quite amazing how you feel things "fall back into place" when doing your first few reps.
Might need to watch a couple videos to fully understand it. I'm not sure which ones are the best.
