Self-help
There is lots that you can do to help yourself if you have problems.
Spinal exercises are often helpful to relieve pain and to help joint problems recurring. Exercises will stretch tight muscles and mobilise stiff joints. As a general rule of thumb, if an exercise is uncomfortable and then gets easier, it is a helpful exercise. Conversely, if an exercise creates an increasing amount of pain it is better avoided. If in doubt consult your chiropractor. The exercises demonstrated here are simple, generic exercises that are prescribed by many practitioners for many conditions. Use your common sense with them please. (Boring legal stuff: If you are not a patient of ours, we cannot accept any liability for you injuring yourself etc etc....)
