How can I crack my lower back like a chiropractor?
Doing it like a chiropractor would be difficult considering you won’t be able to get the same leverage and pressure that we could. However, getting some good “cracks” in the lower back can be accomplished by laying on your back, bringing your knees to your chest, and twisting side to side. You should typically hear some good releases in the back area. Vishal K. Verma DC CCSP READ MORE
Why does my pelvis keep shifting?
Not knowing your full history (injuries, fractures, sprains, etc.), I would say that the pelvis shifts as a matter of your posture and position. How you’re sitting at work or in car, things you are doing throughout the day that twist your pelvis could lead to imbalance of your pelvic and core muscles. This will shift your pelvis consistently. Get it adjusted and then do the right pelvic stability exercises. You can look up pelvic stabilization exercises on YouTube for instruction. Vishal K. Verma, DC CCSP READ MORE
What should I avoid if I have sciatica?
Depending on the cause of the sciatica, you would avoid heavy lifting, twisting, bending, and other excessive activity. Prolonged sitting should also be avoided.
