scottthom.com Here are 4 prehab exercises that will improve your lower back strength helping to prevent injuries ie, “I threw out my back, picking up a pencil”. First off make sure you have a strong core, many low back injuries are due to a weak core. Everything is connected and if you have a weak link eventually something bad is going to happen. Secondly low back pain can be the result of tight hamstrings, glutes, and hip flexors. Make sure you have a good stretching and soft-tissue (foam rolling) routine in your daily game plan. Create a great day!!!! -Coach T

Question by Leoh87: I have recently noticed a movement, or sliding, sensation in my lower back. It started a week ago – ideas?
There wasn’t a specific “injury” or trauma to the area, although I’ve had somewhat significant issues with my back in the past. It’s not terribly painful, mostly uncomfortable – but it really freaks me out. It literally feels like my spine is sliding. I thought it may be muscle weakness, but I’ve tried several times to ‘test’ it and it’s definitely not involving muscles. Will it go away? If not should I go to a chiropractic office or an MD?

You could have displaced a disk in your spine, so I would definitely suggest seeing your doctor. You could go to a chiropractic after, but you might need some x-rays done first, just to determine what the problem (if there is one) is.

Question by Champ: Is there a procedure that can help fix bulging discs in the lower back…?
I’ve heard its like “microscopic surgery” where they go in and fix your back. Do you know what it is? If not, do you know of any procedure that doesn’t take many appointments, other than surgery?

Best answer:

Answer by janny
For prolapsed disc there are several surgical methods.
1. Routine old method – Laminectomy and disc removal. need more rest post surgery.
2. Mini laminectomy – little less morbidity.
3. Micro-endoscopic disc removal – just a key hole surgery, can be done as day care procedure, minimal rest at home. Best procedure now a days but all type of disc prolapse can not be removed by it.

How To Lower Worker Leg Pain With Anti Fatigue Mats

Lower back pain can be quite a drag, especially since its usually accompaniend by dreadful foot & leg pain. A major cause of foot, leg, & back pain is harsh and demanding work environments, where a worker can stand on an extremely hard surface for prolonged time frames.

Working on hard surfaces can cause severe fatigue, which is when the muscles are constricted and blood flow is reduced. In this state, the heart works a lot harder to pump blood through the troubled areas, and the body runs out of energy. The negative effects are pain and exhaustion.

One solution to this ever-growing problem is to use anti fatigue mats in the workplace, especially in areas where a lot of standing labor is performed. Apart from cushioning, anti fatigue mats provide a gentle “rebound” which encourages subtle movement of leg and calf muscles, thus promoting an easier flow of blood to and from the heart. Basically, through more efficient muscle activity, the imbalance of constricted blood is virtually eliminated.

So what is the proof that anti fatigue mats actually work?

There are several studies that prove the efficacy of anti fatigue mats, with the most notable one being a format study at the Center of Ergonomics at the University of Michigan. Mark Redfern, an economist, tested the effects of a variety of floor conditions on physical fatigue. Fourteen subjects were required to stand throughout their entire shift at the Ford Chesterfield Trim Plant. Two of the surfaces tested were concrete and a 3/8″ rubber anti-fatigue mat. The conclusive result of the study was that hard concrete floors caused the greatest amount of discomfort and fatigue, while anti fatigue mats were able to reduce it by as much as 50%.

Your company can directly benefit from the use of anti fatigue mats through increased worker productivity, reduced worker compensation costs, and lower insurance costs and absenteeism. Since it is a well-established fact that companies are losing billions of dollars each year due to the above mentioned worker related issues, it only makes sense to make a trivial investment on anti fatigue matting to dramatically reduce these losses.

In addition to pain and discomfort, prolonged standing on hard surfaces can also cause long-term problems. Pronation, which is the extensive flattening of the foot, and varicose veins, which are caused by the stagnation of blood in lower areas, are two health problems associated with standing trauma. These problems are very costly in terms of worker compensation and insurance, not to mention the resulting lack of productivity and employee turnover.

Anti fatigue mats are a real solution, as recommended by the National Safety Council in its publication “Ergonomics”. Amongst the professionals who recommend anti fatigue mats are ergonomists, occupational nurses, insurance agents, and POM managers.

It is essential that the workplace be safe and pleasant in order to promote the highest levels of productivity, reduce the rate of absenteeism and turnover, increase employee satisfaction, and as a direct result, cut costs and improve profits.

Yes, lots of those are good ones, and stretching is very good for back problems. That said, I think you should monitor that disc closely and see if it improves. Massage is good if the therapist know your situation. Also it is great if you are laying around in the livingroom to put your feet up higher than your head for a while. Redistibute the weight in different ways. Using a pillow to put between your knees if you sleep on your side is good.Soaking in hot water helps my back when it aches. I also love Tiger Balm, it gives me a lot of relief. Good Luck, hope you get to feeling better.

In cases of large or pronounced lower jaws that exceed the corrective abilities of simple rubber bands & braces lower jaw set-back surgery offers a predictable treatment option. We often recommend that the surgery be performed after a patient has completed their adolescent growth. Lower jaw set-back surgery is also known as bisagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) set-back surgery.
