I have a dull pain in my lower back. How can I treat it?
Without knowing the exact cause of the pain or doing a history and examination to know what the condition might be, conservatively, the "RICE" approach is a good way to begin. Rest, Ice the area, Compression, and Elevation, if required or needed. Begin your workout slowly and work your way into condition. Try not to jump right in and keep up with everyone from the onset.

I have swelling on my lower back that has come up all of a sudden. Should I be worried?
First I'm assuming this is not from an acute injury or trauma that just occurred. You did not mention an incident. Being in a long time posture either through work positioning like sitting or maybe a yoga position you might of been in for awhile. Swelling will occur when their is inflammation in the area due to a trauma or irritation. First would be to find out what is causing the swelling and resolve the problem. Possible rest and icing to reduce and control the swelling. Check with your Chiropractor or health care provider and try to identify the cause. With my patients, I let them know once with know what caused it or is causing it, we can start. You have to be aware and have that awareness before you will change anything. Otherwise you just keep doing the same thing! As for exercises, the right ones can be beneficial. Your health care provider can recommend the ones that could benefit you for your condition or posture recommendations for your work environment. READ MORE
