Walking a dog with back pain

Image
If you have back pain and you have a dog you may need to tackle this issue. Dogs need a walk everyday and unless you can get someone else to walk your dog you need to consider what you will do. I was in this position and learned a few things through trial and error. First thing is to check with your healthcare provider if it is OK for you to try walking your dog with your condition. The most important thing for you is to be safe and not to damage your back.  If they say no then you must find someone else to walk your dog. This may be a family member, a friend, a neighbour, someone you trust, or you could think about hiring a licensed dog walker. It is important your dog is walked every day and it is important you are safe and look after your back.. This may be the most viable option for you if you re in a lot of pain or cannot walk very far or feel unsteady. I was in this position for a while until my back pain started to improve.  If you get the Ok from your physi...

4 Tips To Watering The Garden With Back Pain.

Image
Before back pain issues I used to lug around a heavy watering can to water all my pots and troughs full of plants and also the new starters in the garden. After I got back issues that was not going to be a good thing for me, yet the plants still needed watering in the heat of the summer and it wasn't fair to expect my husband to do it all. I love gardening and those of you who know me know that I wasn't about to give it up. One Doctor had told me... I would never garden again... While that comment plunged me into some despair it also made me start thinking about how I CAN DO things and what I CAN DO rather than what I cannot do. Now its ironic I am writing this as it is pouring down with rain outside!!(LOL!!) However, we have had some very hot spells when especially my young seedlings and pot plants have found it tough going. So a couple of quick remedies for watering your plants if you have back pain. 1. I use a household watering can, its much smaller and lighter an...

How To Use Back Pain Support Forums Effectively.

Back pain support forums can be very useful to anyone coping with back and sciatic pain.  However in order to get the best out of them, and contribute the most to them, there are certain points to bear in mind.  I have visited and taken part in many back and neck pain forums and have learned the lessons and tips that can help you make the most of it for yourself. In my experience you can learn such a lot from people on a back or neck pain support forum.  However you do need to tread with some caution. What does, or doesn't suit one person may be completely different for some one else.  You must also ensure that you never stop any medical treatment based soley on what you read.  The great thing is though that you may well be introduced to ideas and treatments you had never heard of which you can then discuss further to see if they would suit you. The most valuable part is simply sharing your experiences and gaining ....and giving support to eac...

My Neck Is Killing Me…

Image
It's funny how everything in your body is connected like a single... tightly wrapped piece of rope. When one area hurts, it reduces the function of another. If one organ isn't functioning properly... you feel it throughout your entire body. And if the nutrients going in your body aren't reducing inflammation – they're CAUSING inflammation... which as you know is the single worst enemy for your body. This is something a friend of mine learned the hard way recently... Her neck had been bothering her for a few days and she couldn't figure out why. She was active and she never injured it – so why would she be having pain? She asked me for some help, and I gave her 3 very important tips of advice that will be helpful for you if you've ever experienced “mystery neck pain” (or pain anywhere else) like she was... Tip #1 – You Must EAT Foods That Reduce Inflammation – Leafy vegetables... berries and fruits... omega 3 fatty acids (from nuts, olive oil, fish,...

Natural Anti-Inflammatory Heal-n-Soothe.

What Are Systemic ProteolyticEnzymes and How Can YouBenefit from Them? By Steven Hefferon, CMT, PTA, CPRS Proteolytic enzymes, also referred to as "proteases," are enzymes that break down proteins into their smallest elements. If this breakdown of proteins happens in your gut, we call the enzymes "digestive," because they help us digest our food. Systemic proteolytic enzymes, however, have a completely different purpose, so please don't confuse the two. When taken on an empty stomach, proteolytic enzymes will pass through the stomach or intestine lining and enter the circulatory system. This is why they are called "systemic" - once they enter the circulatory system, they circulate throughout the body. Click here For Your Heal And Soothe Why are systemic proteolytic enzymes important? The most important thing that systemic proteolytic enzymes do is to break down excess fibrin in your circulatory system and in other c...
