ANytime you have an injury, you may want to give your body a chance to heal. Once your pain is under control and you are feeling well enough, we always like you to "test it out" and see how you're doing. You may need to lighten your weights, decrease your reps or modify, but at some point you will be able to get back into the gym. We want you back in the gym to stay healthy! Unless of course your injury is so severe it is contraindicative to your care.
How can I sleep with a herniated disc in my lower back?

The answer I give to my patient is for them to get comfortable. Ideally, sleeping on your side with a pillow between your knees almost in a fetal position is the best, but sometimes not attainable. If you lie on your back then put the pillow under your knees to take out the slack from your knees and keep your back on the floor. Icing will help too!
How can you help with knee arthritis?

This is a tough question to answer as it is not a blanket answer. Each person has a different time with pain. Each person's lifestyle is different. We all have the same body parts, but we all react differently to pain and relief. There are many factors involved in answering your question: health history, mechanism of injury, spine health and compliance. Some people respond quickly, and some people take alittle longer.

Once your pain is under control, you should be able to exercise again. Of course with any injury, it is advisable to reassess your routine and always monitor your form. Without knowing more about your condition, I would say that each person's disc bulge is different and the level at which the disc issue is can vary so this can change the answer.
How can I straighten my spine naturally?

Scoliosis has a wide a range of degrees and without reviewing your health history, x-rays and lifestyle, it would be hard to assess your condition. If your curve is past a certain degree, a neurosurgical consult is never a bad idea, but sometimes with a consistent effort of chiropractic, mirror image exercises and stretching, scoliosis can be halted or decreased. Age is also a factor. Once again, without knowing more information, I would be hard pressed to answer definitively.
