Back injury prevention

[james hailwood]

Anyone got any ideas,help,tips for preventing back pain? Ive had surgery 3 years ago on my L4/L5 herniated disc and has been pretty stable since, but this last week my back has gone again. Its a real disability im sure some of you understand when not being able to move freely. I wear a compression belt at work everyday. Heads up my arse tbh!!

If its that bad maybe time for a change of career, with the kind of bending, lifting and twisting involved.

Anything you can do to strengthen core muscles will help.
Core strength is about preventing the movement which damages spines.
I also swear by a good osteopath 3 or 4 times a year to correct minor problems - put stuff back in place etc...

I'm currently working with a herniated disc and it's horrible. It's painful, I'm working at half pace and driving the van or just being a passenger in our car sends my left leg numb. I'm due to be reassessed in 2 weeks but am seeing improvements. Given the option I'd have taken surgery months back. Hope you can remedy your back soon @james hailwood, have real sympathy for you.

Cheers rich, had the chiro out this morning which has helped a bit. Gonna continue with him for a bit. Nothing worse than disc pain. He said to start working smart n less gung ho carrying big heavy tools, tiles etc. Need to be smashing core more too. Plank n side plank is great plus foam rolling hips n IT band daily
