The thrown out back. Intense pain, inability to move normally or stand up straight; together with the fear that there must be some serious injury behind all this.

According to today’s guest, Dr Jeremy James, the back locking up like this is actually a protection mechanism:

'A lot of times, your brain is sensing that there is an unhealthy load being placed near the spinal cord…..it’ll cause the muscles around your back to go into spasm…..to protect your back'

Jeremy says that thrown out back recovery time can be reduced by getting things moving straight away.

We talk about how to do this right.

Jeremy often gets calls from patients with a thrown out back. He describes how he talks them through a process that almost always works. So you’ll hear how to fix a thrown out back faster.
