Piriformis Syndrome And Back Pain

Today we’re going to once and for all give you the complete guide to Piriformis Syndrome so you can finally disregard this misdiagnosis for good, and start working instead on the cause of your symptoms.

Degeneration of the spine and lower back pain

Is degeneration of your spine really the cause of your current episode of back pain, or is it simply a marker of your overall back health, independent of your day-to-day back pain?

This week we wanted to take a deep dive into arthritis of the spine, because one of the most common phrases you’ll hear when having any sort of consultation with imaging is the following:

“You’re spine is fine, you just got normal age related wear and tear.”

Posterior Pelvic Tilt And Lower Back Pain

What is posterior pelvic tilt and how does it relate to back pain? To understand this, it is helpful to first identify the normal position of the pelvis as well as what we mean when we’re referring to pelvic tilt. From there we can fully appreciate the implications this will have on the lumbar spine especially if we’re suffering with lower back pain or sciatica.

Find out all you need to know about posterior pelvic tilt and it's role in your lower back pain in today's episode.

Improve Your Blood Pressure By Getting Back In Shape

Generally blood pressure is a measure of the pressure within our circulatory system. It reflects the elasticity or rigidity of our arteries and blood vessels, in essence giving us a window into the health of this essential system. The blood pressure can rise or fall based on a plethora of factors, resulting in both short term changes and more long lasting trends.

Unfortunately nowadays there seems to be the belief that high blood pressure and the need for medication to control this is something that is inevitable. Perhaps even something that marks the start of a decline in health. There doesn’t seem to be enough information out there that many of these factors that change our blood pressure short or long term, can be influenced.

What can be done? Find out in today's episode.

Understanding Sciatica, It’s Causes & Exercises

Sciatica is one of the conditions which often leads to the greatest amount of confusion in the eyes of the sufferer. It’s understandable why this is, as the pain clearly is not where the origin of the problem is. For this reason it is one of the conditions which requires the most explanation and education.

Collagen is a peptide or protein and is found everywhere in the body. We’re going to talk about Type 1, 2 & 3. In your disc you have a nucleus and cartilaginous structures. In hyaline cartilage, the collagen makes up 90% of its dry weight. It’s collagen that makes up the strength and integrity of these structures.

When you first get an injury, inflammation builds up over 48-72 hours to form a clot. The inflammation shunts growth factors into the area to stimulate the injury to heal the area. Collagen is derived from protein so it’s important that you get enough protein. Remodelling in the area can take months or years, because some tissues are not metabolically active. This means that in the early stages of healing, it can be re-injured easily because the pain levels will drop and you might presume it has healed.

The Phase 1 section of our Back In Shape membership area will help your body to start compensating for the injury, to start recruiting other muscles and make sure they’re functioning correctly.

Injections or NSAIDS can help with healing, but it affects the ligament’s strength - which is not helpful for healing where ligament damage is involved.

Long-term immobilisation (bed rest) doesn’t help as it decreases circulation to the area.

Use of peptide supplementation and resistance training can cause the ligaments to strengthen and thicken. It’s not excessive resistance loading either, it’s controlled: such as walking around the house in the beginning and then progressing onto strengthening exercises.

Sciatica is not really a condition in its own right, it’s a symptom of a further problem. So in order to treat that problem, we need to figure out what’s causing it. The sciatic nerve root originates around L5-S1 in the spine, so we need to look at what’s compressing at that section.

If you bend forwards when putting on your socks in the morning, you compress onto the front of the disc which makes it bulge out of the back and compress the nerve. If you’re in a flexed position, where you’re leaning slightly forward, this is going to cause the holes at the back of the disc to become larger and relieve some of that pressure.

Live Q&A near the end of the video.
