Back Pain Relief

Prostate cancer expert, Dr. David Samadi, shares tips for preventing and addressing what 90% of Americans suffer from at some point – lower back pain. He encourages those who spend long periods of time sitting at a desk to take frequent breaks to stand and stretch. Ergonomic chairs and workstations can also help reduce back pain. Sitting, he explains, is the worst position for the spine as it puts excessive pressure on the lower back. He describes a breathing relaxation technique that can be useful for calming tense muscles that are often the cause of low back pain. Other wear and tear conditions such as arthritis and degenerative disc disease can plague people as they age. Dr. Samdi encourages viewers to try to some home modifications before seeking the advice of a chiropractor, general physician, pain management specialist, or spinal surgeon. If pain persists, treatments such as epidural injections or spinal decompression therapy may be explored.
