IME, sports oriented PTâs are a better choice with a hamstring inj than a chiro. Good ones can do spine manipulations like the chiros and they can do a lot more when it comes to joints, muscles, dynamic motion and function.
Chiros do pretty well on spines, less effective with shoulders, knees, etc.

For sure. And, as always, if one goes that route, a âgoodâ chiropractor is what is needed. I had one that was great at adjusting extremities.
But, wabi mentioned âlower vertebrataâ.
We have a PT whose focus in myofascial release and does great stuff.

weak glutes, due to our sedentary lifestyle and sitting causes lots of back issues. these exercises work great
I owe you one, seriously. I've been suffering quite a bit lately with lower back pain, so I tried one of the exercises in the first video you shared and am amazed at how much it helped. I slept better last night and woke feeling pretty good. Usually I'm hurting as soon as I get up, but not this morning. I did another set of the exercise this morning and am doing way better at work today, so a huge thank you for the video.
Who would have thought that 3-4 minutes of an exercise could have made such a difference?
NEVER allow any orthopedic surgeon to touch your back. If there is no neurosurgeon where you are, go where there is one.
Yep, my surgery was done by a neurosurgeon, I think they look at solving the issue differently.
One guy here locally is an ortho spine surgeon with three spine fellowships. His first was with well known Neuorsurgeon, Dr. Nanda at LSU in Shreveport, LA. He said he wasnted to see how the neuros did it. Second was at Stanford in CA. He said he got a really nice certificate, but wasn't that impressed with Stanford, He did his third spine fellowship in Memphis, said that one was the real deal. Now, that's after a 5 yr ortho residency, then three, one year fellowships on top of that. Then, throw in four years of college, four years of med school. I count 16 yrs of intense training.
All he does is spine and I place him, at least in my mind, above our local neurosurgeons with zero spine fellowships. They do pretty good, but this guy is one of a kind. His patients do great. He's not knife happy, is actually very conservative, preferring to try injections, P.T. etc. before sharpening a knife.
It dpends on the individual surgeon. IMO, you can't just say no ortho, go neuro.
Motion is lotion. Stretch, stretch, and stretch some more.
Lay on the ground. Keep your hips planted and push upwards with you arms raising your torso. That's a great stretch for disc's in the lumbar area of the spine. Also focus on stretches for the hamstrings and lower back.
I had a 6mm bulging disc (L5S1) and got it back to normal (squatting over 500lbs) with moderate Physical therapy.
Be danged DF, good to see you up this late, my loser consulting retired ass is waiting on a sat call, anyway, back to the OP inquiry, i hear these afflictions are caused from being a sanctimonious, condescending, self righteous, asswipe prick and not eating a banana per day and exercising one's prostrate several times daily, oh well, maybe i heard wrong, the info was worth the price paid, which was zero.

When her face is buried in a pillow and she's squalling like a gut shot panther, you're doing your spine a solid, but most likely not doing her neck vertebrae any favors!

I walked around with lower back and leg pain for 17 years until a Doc-in-a-box sent me to a PT, who diagnosed and corrected an SI joint dislocation in 30 minutes.
Huge fan of PTâs, obviously.
Stretching keeps it from re-occurring. Strenuous work or exercise shortens tendons and muscles and makes it worse, and increases the need for stretching.

Now, that's a whole different can of worms. Surgeons don't pay much attention to SI and Piriformis Syndrome as it's not a surgical problem.
The piriformis muscle can spasm on the sciatic nerve and can mimic discogenic radiculopathy. P.T.'s are the best as dealing with and even diagnosing that condition. I haven't seen much from chiros on SI. The other two muscle groups that can go into spasm from SI disorder are the quadratus, which runs up the side of the back and the iliopsoas (tenderloin) which can cause groin pain.
