How to improve upper back motion
This video is going to help stretch the upper back or thoracic spine. These stretches are great for anyone who sits a lot for work, has bad or hunched over position, or is looking down at their phone a lot. This is a routine I would recommend for most people in our society.
How to fix low back pain
Usually there is a direction or movement that your body doesn’t like. Be aware of that direction or movement and don’t continue to do that movement. Don’t make things worse. Depending on the injury you have, you may find some movements or activities beneficial or bothersome. However, some of these exercises are really good just general movement type activities.

What causes low back pain?
https://youtu.be/xDKs2XAFB5E Why do people get low back pain or what causes low back pain? I will not be able to fully answer this question in a short video. Also, as said...
What is sciatica?
The sciatic nerve originates from the last couple nerve roots from the lumbar spine and then nerve roots coming from the sacrum all combine and go out into the glutes, behind the leg in the hamstring, splints in the back of the knee, and goes down to the foot. A true sciatica type pain would be anything like pain, burning, tingling, numbness, weakness, etc. that follows the area the sciatic nerve innervates, especially when it goes past the knee and into the lower leg and foot.
Natural Nutrition Benefits
Getting your nutrients in a natural form by eating things like fruits and vegetables is the best option. If you are not able to do that, try to get them from a supplement that tries to get those food in a condensed form rather than a synthesized, made in a lab, type form.
Exercise is the best medicine!
For most injuries, exercise is something that you will want to do right away, with some surgeries and fracture being an exception that to that rule. For instance, if you sprain your ankle or hurt your back and sit on the couch and do nothing for a month, this is probably the worst thing that you can do. A few reasons for this include inflammation will aggregate to the area and stop movement of fluid in and out of the area and get really stiff and tight.
Chiropractic can help with pregnancy!
Pregnant women report roughly 50-80% had low back pain during their pregnancy. There are obviously a lot of other conditions that may come up as well during pregnancy, but that number is just for low back pain. There are a lot of factors that go into why that could be.
