chiro won't even touch my back. They recommended some physical therapy and the physical therapist said to strenghten your core and to lose any amount of blubber around the mid section. Guess what they were right, no problems anymore other then the occassional arthritis when it gets really cold or humid. Starting to get some blub back now that i've been laid off.
I have degenerative disc syndrome, basically i'm 37 and have a back of a 65 year old. 3 totally dehydrated disc's and 2 herniated disc's, one of which I had surgery on and reherniated 6 mos. later.
I'm sure the 5 years of being a sub contractor laying flooring did wonders for it, 12-15'ft long and 300+lbs of carpet compressing down on your spine trying to fight that sucker into a home and up/down steps with 90 degree turns :lol:
