Question

I've been dealing with a slipped disc at L5 S1 for the past four months and really want to avoid surgery. What are the best non-surgical treatments to fix this permanently? Any advice on exercises, lifestyle changes, or therapies that actually work?

Question

I've been struggling with back pain for a while now. I went to an orthopedic doctor but didn't see any improvement. The pain is mostly in my lower back. I also tried physiotherapy, but that hasn't helped either. I'm really hoping for some advice or guidance on what to do next because it's been so frustrating. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

Question

I've been having these annoying muscle spasms for the last couple of days in that V-cut area of my lower abdomen, you know, where it leads down to the pelvis. It's a bit strange because they always seem to happen in the same spot unless I'm lying on my right side, then they shift to the middle of my lower abdomen. I talked to a neurologist friend of the family, and they mentioned it might be due to a stretched muscle, but I don't really feel any pain there. Just wondering if that sounds right to you or if it could be something else?

Question

I'm a right-handed fast bowler dealing with a mild tear in my right shoulder that's causing a lot of pain and limiting my movement. I really want to avoid surgery can physiotherapy help me recover without it? What kind of treatment would work best for this kind of injury?
