Back Stretching Equipment

April 19th, 2010 admin No comments

Back injury question.?

I have a recurrent back injury when I play tennis. It mostly happens when I serve in tennis a lot in tennis (3 sets). It also happened recently when I went for a long hike – a lot of the hike was uphill. I have been stretching my back, strengthening with nautilus type equipment at the gym, and I have used Bengay a few times. What else do you recommend to do for back so that I don’t get this back pain any more? Can you recommend some specific weight lifting exercises and specific stretches that will help for the long term?

I used to have bad back problems after i pulled something in my shoulder blade while bowling. I suffered with chronic pain for almost 10 years. I would go to the doc then get PT which would help for a while. Then about 2 years ago, I went to a chiropractor because my entire back was out of whack. From my neck, through my arm, all the way down my leg. All on the same side. It was also causing me chronic headaches. He worked on me for a few months(electro stimulation, heat, adjustments, traction table(also known as the rolly table) and stretches and exercises). I am pleased to tell you that he fixed my back and all the secondary problems that came with it. I’ve only visited him 3 times in the last year because stress had tightened things up. But since I recognized the symptoms and went to him immediately he was able to help me in one visit.

I suggest finding a great chiropractor in your area. But be cautious with your choice. Some are not the best in the world and some are great like mine(who also is into sports medicine).

Good luck
