Question about sciatica and degenerative disk?

[Guest guest]

Good day- I am on digest and just changed servers and had gone "no mail" for a while, but I was wondering if anyone has a site address for good exercises for people with severe back pain-also my right leg seems to bother me and my doctor has said it is because of the sciatic nerve- is there anything I can do (site wise, or otherwise) to alieve this pain, or at least strengthen the abdomen muscles so that the spine is in better working condition without doing any harm, or is there an alternative to healing this area that I am not aware of? I am 50 as of now- and female-

 

Thanking all in advance,

 

Silver~

Good day- I am on digest and just changed servers and had gone "no mail" for a while, but I was wondering if anyone has a site address for good exercises for people with severe back pain-

 

 

May I suggest "chair yoga"?

Do some Googling, find a video.

Yoga is unequaled for its ability to gently and

without strain align and regenerate the body.

 

There is video called "Yoga for the rest of us". It starts seated. Sorry, I don't know the name of the

teacher.

 

And here is a website: www.spine.org/articles/exercises.cfm

 

also my right leg seems to bother me and my doctor has said it is because of the sciatic nerve- is there anything I can do (site wise, or otherwise) to relieve this pain,

 

Reflexology! Great way to affect an injured part

of the body without having to touch it.

If you have someone who can help you, so much the

better. Otherwise, work your hands.

The spine reflex on the hands works great.

 

If you can, visit a Reflexologist and ask her

 

to show you how to work on yourself between

sessions.

 

 

The best website on this topic is:

 

http://www.reflexology-research.com/

 

or at least strengthen the abdomen muscles so that the spine is in better working condition without doing any harm, or is there an alternative to healing this area that I am not aware of? I am 50 as of now- and female-

 

Also, try Emotional Freedom Technique.

My latest passion, try it on ANYTHING!

Free, harmless, and profoundly empowering.

 

http://emofree.com

 

Good luck, keep us posted!

the back pain mudra - yogic hand postures - loaded in the group file under

mudra folder could clear your back pain within a week. joints pain mudra

takes care of sciatica and other joints problems.

 

if you do not get much needed relief within a week, you may write to me. the

joints pain mudra is now blessed by angels and i may send that also.

 

try & share.

 

with light & love
