Great video.
What about hypomobile segmental dysfunction as a cause?
Thank you, your videos are very helpful. But I can’t find what is wrong with my lumbar back. I hurt it in July lifting a mattress corner, not bad on the day, heavy feeling in lumbar, pain sitting and getting out of car, next day bit worse, next day in emergency for pain management, couldn’t get away from pain, took 30 mins to get out of bed. I was in extreme pain on opioids for 10 days SR and IR… very bad waking in the mornings and a pulling pain down hamstring to the knee… not nerve pain.. eventually resolved after 8 weeks, first day back to work felt sharp pain again briefly, ache and leg pulling didn’t resolve on rest, 1 month later morning pain again so off work. Morning pain was so bad woke me 4am and could not continue laying down, like my joint being pulled apart, dull deep pain that went on until January, had to work a bit as on leave without pay. On getting up that pain resolved on standing and left with ache, stiffness and tender, sometimes during the day mild but activity seemed to stir up with occasional tweaks, and continued sitting, standing and morning pain. Standing in one spot aggravated, sitting on hard chairs, massage from physio made it worse. A pain like a bruise to touch central left of sacrum at L5 or a bit lower. Took 3 months to resolve. I can do all the flexion extension movements, but if I stand and curl my tail bone up to arch my back rather than bending backwards it causes pain. Have not been able to lay flat on my back, putting a pillow for support under lordosis makes it worse, traction makes it worse… yet nothing on xray, MRI or CT… minor degeneration right facet, disc height good, minor disc bulge at L4 no nerve impingement… there seems to be no explanation. Morning pain stopped for 4 days in Feb but seemed worse on getting up and didn’t ease much with walking about. Had physiology exercises to strengthen area in Feb and had bruise feeling all over left sacral area, tender to light touch, resolved in 10 days, but morning returned and has not resolved, its May now, not working, forced to resign, sitting and standing too much makes it worse, and now feel dull achy pressure over both sacral areas when walking. Leg pain to knee intermittent, seems to increas on activity/load. I can do activity, but afterwards am more sore. What has happened to my back? And how do I manage it as there is no evidence of anything wrong to know how to approach it. Is there another kind of test I can have? I hope you can do a video to explain this. Many many thanks. Pranams.
I’ve been to 4 different chiropractors over time. 2 were good to great. One was horrible. One was probably less beneficial almost detrimental.
Excellent explanation sir
It helps a lot thank you so much.
Wow do pelvic MRI, I have similar symptoms.
This is exactly what am going through, very painful
Thanks Dr exactly what i experienced at my low back .
Thank you sir for such knowledge and back pain I’m seeking feedback answer for butt pain heat in the foot pain in the feet also I’m terrible back pain
Very informative. Thank you!
I have a question for you doctor. How would you treat back pain in a patient who has Scheuermanns disease and very mild scoliosis. As far as I am aware a normal healthy spine is around 40 degrees. With Scheuermanns Disease anything over 50/55 degrees is manageable, 70/75 degrees is classed as severe and can be a danger to the patient and surgery is a high possibility, let’s say the patient is beyond the danger zone and has a curve of 89.14 degrees, respiratory, mobility, digestive issues, missing 4 thoracic discs, 2 disc bulges L4/L5 S1/S2 radiculopathy in both sides, how would you treat a patient in this situation, and what advice would you give? In the UK there answer is Painkillers and Antidepressants in endless amounts.
That is sound really bad pain but don’t forget the whole muscles is connecting to each other. if you in the uk I would be able to help you
i read a book painfree 4 life
it gave a simple stretch for backside of leg muscles. if the backside of the leg muscles is very short it causes a lot of lower back pain becase of the pull
I just came across your video for the first time, and it’s very descriptive and informational in detail. Thank you Dr. Ebraheim, I had no low back pain until three weeks ago when I fell down the stairs on my back. I got an x-ray, ct scan, and MRI, and the doctor said I have no fracture. But the pain is still there. I can’t lay down on my back for too long. and for sitting I started using the donut cushion. I don’t know what to do. Can you advise me, please?
Clearly this guy forgot about MS. What it does to the spine, legs, arms, hands and feet. They give steroid shots that help a week at best. The steriods damage bones in the body. Your just stuck with it till death. One has to endure a great deal even doing simple task. Making up a bed and take 45 minutes. The pain only stops when I sit down. I can’t be independent and do what needs done in life by always sitting down. So the ongoing horrific pain must be fought as long as one can. Then to sit down a bit and get up to try to finish it do another task. There is no help for MS people … It’s a joke doctors want to medicate with anti depression when your not that but you very well might become such due to untreated pain. We have a socialist medicine in America..which means you pay for no care..You learn to stop doing that a you yourself take care of the pain and manage by whatever means you find that works.
Thank you Doctor , it’s really helpful

1- Take an X-Ray image to make sure it’s not caused by a bone or disc issue
2- Bring your weight down by running
3- Avoid stress as much as you can
4- Do NOT drink a drop of alcohol
5- Change your mattress
6- Make sure your bed room is NOT wet
7- Keep warm
8- Consult with a physician and ask if you can take Magnesium supplements
Find the exact spot that is hurting you and push it over with your thumb keep pushing keep pushing keep pushing push it away from your nerve in your spine then find something solid to lay across like a pipe find that spot and lay your whole weight of your body across and force it off your nerve that’s the only thing that help me I hurt myself at 19 from trying to lift a boulder onto a wagon and felt the exact pain I’m 32 and six months ago that’s what I did it was dangerous maybe it was the only thing that I could do it stopped I slammed whatever it was on my nerves off of my nerves… Felt a huge pop and crunch my back pulsating for a few hours but I’ve been pain-free ever cents you’re probably put some thing on top of your nerve that’s resting on your nerve or pinching it you need to get it off of your nerve but be careful
Magnesium glycinate or citrate and B vitamins are imperative to end nerve pain like sciatica.

I’m not kidding, what do you mean by make sure your room is not wet. Do you mean damp ? And how does that contribute to back pain.
Great job in explaining it from A to Z. Thank you
May God use this message and heal me and all who have same problem and other sickness and pain in any cases, thanks Dr
Thank you so much 💓 God bless you
