Many people suffer from chronic back pain. It’s epidemic.

And even though chiropractic care is the best treatment for back pain, adding some good stretches to accompany the adjustments is a great idea.

So today I wanted to share with you a stretch that is great for low back pain and sciatica that you can do at home.
Sound good?

Okay, here’s a simple exercise you can try today: Get one of those inflatable exercise balls – (the kind you find at the gym and can be purchased at any sporting goods store).

Start by lying on the ball on your stomach, looking at the floor. Your feet should be spread apart for balance. Next, slowly roll forward until the ball is placed in front of your hips. Allow your body to bend forward, rounding to the shape of the ball.

Next, relax your body completely and place your hands on the floor for support and balance. You should feel light to moderate stretching in your lower back, and possibly your hamstrings.This stretch loosens the muscles that run up and down your spine. This creates more space between each vertebra.

You’ll be amazed by the pain relief you get from increasing the space between each vertebrae…and when you combine this stretch with your chiropractic adjustments, it’s a great 1-2 punch to eliminate your pain and improve your health!

Try it out and let me know how it goes!
