djk Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 "I dated an Alethia in college!" Althea Leasure was Larry Flint's fourth wife. Dean: Is it upper back pain, or lower back pain? The Egoscue Method The Egoscue Method is a do it yourself (non-medical) pain relief, and posture therapy developed by Pete Egoscue. Pete Egoscue has been helping people relieve themselves of chronic pain since the early 70s and has been labeled as the Father of Postural Therapy. He has authored six books. The Egoscue exercises involves a series of stretches that designed for a particular dysfunctional postural alignment pattern. The average person’s posture has dysfunction and could use realignment. The Egoscue method is designed to stop chronic pain and is deeply rooted in the belief that your body will never let you down. Their mantra is “Your design isn't flawed, your posture is.” The Egoscue method is a series of gentle corrective exercises they call “e-cises”. Their somewhat custom approach aims to bring your posture back into balance and return your body to proper function. Pete Egoscue holds faith in the evolution of humankind and it operational experience in dealing with pain. The Egoscue Method is based on the body's functional design – or posture. The main objective is to teach the client how to listen to their own body and keep it properly tuned. ****************************** This really does work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6pTC4JvMjc Buy this book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GofgORGXwHY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Lower back. Compression fracture and two herniated disks. These go back to ball playing days over 20 years ago. Oddly enough, outside of some minor discomfort from time to time, there wasn't much to complain about. In my 30s, I started racking 6500 Series Cisco Routers - and that's when the problems started. I'm 56 now, and a few months ago it all went to hell on me. I'll check out the videos and info. You get to a point where you're desperate, and I'm pretty much there.

CECAA850 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I fell out of a tree (long story), landed on my tailbone and ended up with a compression fracture between my shoulder blades. The Dr drilled 2 holes in the vertebra inserted some type of small balloon, decompressed the disc (not fully but as much as he could) and filled the holes with some type of cement. Apparently he had used that technique used on patients with osteoporosis for some time but had just recently tried in on compression fractures. I think I was the second patient he had tried this on. I was jogging in 2 weeks and playing soccer again in 6 weeks. To this day, it hasn't given me a minutes trouble. I don't know if your discs have been compressed too long for that procedure or not. I wish you luck with your plan of action. Back pain sucks. It seems like every motion you make involves your back in one manner or another.

muel Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Nothing is worse than the bench - or rinsing dishes, I can't decide which is worse. Seriously! I'd rather chop wood or dig a ditch than lean over a sink or workbench as far as the back pain. Physical therapy helped when I was younger but a good ART specialist has helped a lot in recent years. You've got to get someone who really knows what they are doing though... there are enough quacks out there. Bad discs are bad discs though... I don't know if that would help. Hang in there!

USNRET Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 MRIs, Ultra Sounds, X-Rays, pain mediation, Chiropractors, surgeons, Neurologist and acupuncture...I found a massage therapist that gives me a one hour session for $45 that relieves all the pain AND eliminates snoring. I see her once a month or so when the wife says I am snoring again or I find the pain coming back. The sessions reduce my BP by 20 points (and there is no Happy Endings) Good Luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How in the heck does that work? Is there a specific type of massage that helps with snoring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Is there a specific type of massage that helps with snoringAll I know is that after I get an hour of work on my neck and left shoulder the wife tells me that my snoring is greatly reduced. I think it may simply be that after the treatment I can sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
