Dr. Neil King: Hi! I'm Dr. Neil King, founder of King Chiropractic. We're here today and we're going to teach you how to wipe out low back pain. Low back pain is one of the major reasons that people miss work every year also, it's the main reason that people retire due to this disability. That's an awful problem, but we're going to give you some tips today. Basically, I'd like to say how to wipe out low back pain with some exercises. One of the main ways to deal with low back pain is through consistent exercises that are done on a daily basis. I like to say that take about 10 to 30 minutes.
We're going to start with the upper body stretch, we're going to do standing low back exercises, we're going to do some all four exercises for your core, we're going to some one knee exercises for stabilization, and then we're going to work some more on your core on your low back, we're going to wrap it up by loosening your hips, and your hamstrings.
What kind of equipment are you going to use? What I want you to have this is a simple mat. I want you to have comfortable clothing and I want you to be in an open area where you're not going to get whacked by something. So, let me give you some safety tips. If you're experiencing low back pain, if you're having any problem with any leg symptoms from low back pain, please don't do these exercises now. Wait until you get over with what we call that cute face, and then step back and evaluate what you need to do. Please don't do them if you're experiencing low back pain or you'll start to experience low back pain while you're doing the exercises.
I'd like to take a moment to talk about myself. I discovered King Chiropractic back in 1984, which is 24 years ago now and our office is in Gaithersburg, Potomac and Urbana, Maryland. We serve top professional and amateur athletes for many years now. Our whole job is getting you back to where you want to be. I don't want you to just be alive. I want you to feel alive. So, please stay tuned. We're going to go through these and in the next clip I'm going to be talking to you about stretching your upper body to help yourself.
