@ladyspinedoc: Did you know that simply sitting less may help reduce back pain? A 6-month randomized controlled trial found that people who reduced their daily sedentary time experienced less back pain, and researchers also observed improvements in the health of the muscles that support the spine. Interestingly, these benefits occurred without requiring a structured exercise program- just spending less time sitting made a difference. ✅ Stand up more often. ✅ Walk during phone calls. ✅ Break up long periods of sitting. ✅ Small changes can add up over time. 📚 Study: BMJ Open (2024) #BackPain #SpineHealth #Neurosurgery

Jackie Kesler :

Yep I have low back pain. Even after 2 surgeries with you.

meowamine :

Applicable for herniated discs, or general back pain only?

angela.ballerina29 :

I used to have chronic back pain. My GP advised me to go to yoga classes. It worked amazingly. I work 12 hours shifts mostly seated in a control room. I also have many short ‘walk away’ breaks to walk round the building but yoga was a game changer 😊

standing actually causes me so much more lower back pain than sitting does, and that’s after 2 lumbar discectomy surgeries 😅

JPA :

Omg must have pulled a muscle. My lower left back has been SCREWED for 2 weeks and I am desperate for some relief. I started standing while working this week bc I think sitting is not helping. I’ll take any suggestions bc I cannot live like this

Lorie Gunter :

Moved furniture. Squatted to turn something and stood up immediately was in pain in lower back. Hurts to raise my legs. Lower back pain is horrible. Hard to get comfortable.

Snowcrash :

That aligns with my experience. My pain issues always follow prolonged pushes at work where I sit at my desk.

user1562924404942 :

I’m really shocked that as a neurosurgeon you’re saying that a weak core and tight hip flexors leads to back pain…

Abbi_Stodart :

Thoughts on a spinal cord stimulator for a 27 yr old after L5-S1 partial dissectomy nerve pain is back

Baÿèzîd F :
