Low back pain is consistently common now-a-days. Here we need to know the good sign and worry sign of back pain. Good sign: pain staying around your back region only and not travelling down to waist, hip or legs/foot worry sign: pain not staying around your back region only and it is travelling down to waist, hip or legs/foot pinching the nerve roots arising from your spine in the back region might be the probable cause of your pain. Narrowing of foramina does not allow the nerve roots to exit thereby causing compression and tingling-like symptoms. Scoliosis: a lot of ways to corect them and physiotherapy is surely important for this correction we would do a thorough physiotherapy assessment to diagnose the exact cause of low back pain. Please do the following: 1. Take a posture break every 1 hourly/day. This shall keep your spine in good health. 2. Do not at all/not recommended/avoid completely to side- bend on the right side of your spine as this will exaggerate the scoliosis curve and cause you more pain. Always side-bend to the left only. 3. Keep hydrating yourself for good nutrition in your spine. Avoid doing the exercises whihc have caused you pain in the past.
