I have severe anxiety and this seems impossible. I was sedated for the first MRI (brain) and I think it did help a bit but even then, I still felt anxious and unsettled. My mind was still racing somehow.

This is basically what my spine looks like now due to bad posture. I'm 15 so hopefully this can be somewhat reduced without surgery due to being a young age? I was just wondering, if with daily stretching, exercise, cervical traction, seeing a physio and good posture etc. will be able to move the spine over a long period of time. I just want an honest answer, I know stretching alone won't fix it, It doesn't really hurt often atm but if anyone has any recommendations for preventing pain when I get older lmk

Paying Attention to Areas of Weakness in Your Spine A word of caution before jumping into yoga for scoliosis: pay attention to weak areas of your spine!
Body awareness is extremely important when it comes to avoiding sports and exercise related injuries - especially when you have scoliosis. When practicing yoga for scoliosis (including the practices above), you need to be aware of specific areas of weakness in your spine. Areas of weakness may include:
Loss of normal curvature Torsion (twisting) in discs Areas of degeneration (arthritis) to spinal joints Sacroiliac instability By paying close attention to your specific scoliosis pattern, areas of weakness in your spine, and potential limitations that are present due to your scoliosis, you are taking the necessary steps to avoid injury. In this program is great for whatever curvature you have, Scoliosis curve, the C- curve and S curve and how to stretch each curve depending on which side is your Scoliosis. BUt in this video, i focused mainly with Levoscoliosis which is the curvature toward the left and rotation of the spinel. If you don't know what type and shape and side your scoliosis is, make sure you see a doctor, chiro and a physical therapist to evaluate you as well you could also try the Slump test which could be seen online on how to see the hump on your back, The best way to know is to get an X-ray of your spine and to measure the angle of your scoliosis and it is called the Cobb's Angle. However, if your Scoliosis is more than 45 degrees see a Doctor .

Thanks.
Hi guys,
How can I claim a disability that I never thought was a thing?
Please allow me to explain my situation.
My back is giving me all kinds of problems.. I'm constantly in pain and I lose sleep from back pain almost every night. I have Degenerative disc disease(DDD) in the cervical spine(neck) and lumbar spine(lower back). And thankfully, I receive disability for those two.
But guess what?
I recently found out that I have a Degenerative disc in the Thoracic spine(Upper back) as well.
What a bummer...!
A pain is located just right below the cervical spine. So I always thought the upper back pain was causing from the cervical spine(neck).
Here's the problem. I seeked out help for cervical spine and lumbar spine problems while I was in the service. But never addressed thoracic spine(upper back) problems because like I said, I thought it was part of the cervical spinal problems.. I have no documents regarding my thoracic spine (upper back) problems.
My question is.. What do I do in this case? Will VA accept my stupidity and take thoracic spine (upper back) as a service connected without military medical documentation?
Thank you!

The symptoms of low back pain develop in all ages, social strata, and occupations of all populations and the duration of symptomatic manifestation of low back pain in most patients is approximately 2 to 3 months, and 80% to 90% of these patients generally experience recurrences. It is important to know the causes of low back pain are various. However, soft tissue injury and weakening of the muscular strength of the trunk are primary causes of low back pain development and no matter how much we try to strengthen the core and lumbar muscles by providing core and lumbar stabilization, if you don't improve the flexibility and mobility of your thoracic spine and trunk area, it creates pressure and more stress on your lumbar and cervical spine. These disorders lead to decreased endurance and limited range of motion of the lumbar vertebrae.
My patients with low back pain may experience vertebral movement imbalance in flexion or extension of the trunk, and may also develop abnormal coupling motions, compared to normal individuals. The aim of lumbar stabilization exercise is to maximally reduce the stress biomechanically placed upon the vertebral infrastructure while a subject optimally performs required movement defined “spinal instability” as having abnormal movements such as visually noticeable landing or catching during active movements, or a condition in which changes of the relative positions of the adjacent vertebrae are observable in a standing or prone position. Recently, the neutral zone theory, the logic behind “spinal instability,”

... keep reading on reddit ➡I've recently been diagnosed (at 29 years old) with Chiari type 1, and the pain in my upper back, between my shoulders, has gotten to be excruciating. This last Tuesday it was absolutely on fire and I was in tears. Ice was the only thing that helped. If I could sit back on an ice pack all day that'd be great, but I have things to do and need to be mobile.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a brace I can wear that also holds ice packs or produces its own coldness? I don't want to waste my money on poor Amazon products that will only hurt me more.
I also have another set of MRIs coming up on the 25th, to look at my entire spine. If you think I should wait until then to get the best possible option, please let me know that as well! Thank you❤
Hey guys, I’m looking for a physio for some thoracic spine/rib issues. I’ve been to a few but have found they don’t quite understand the issue. I’ve not really seen any improvement over a year.
Just wondering if anyone has some good recommendations in Sydney? And why you like them. Thanks!
Would there be any tests or comparisons you could use?
Am I right in saying foam rolling your upper back & traps is good for fixing this?

The glutes are composed of three muscles all layered on top of each other: the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. These muscles play a key role in facilitating daily activities, as they heavily influence the movement and positioning of the pelvis and lower spine.
Weak, underactive, or tight glutes can cause biomechanical imbalances in the pelvis and hips, as well as instability in the lower spine.
Tight glutes can cause as much lower back discomfort as weak glutes can, so overtraining these muscles or working in occupations that requires prolonged sitting can lead to tightness in the lower back area.
Got the hump? The thoracic spine (the part of the spine that starts just below the neck to half-way down the back) is often a neglected part of the body, which is surprising considering that it is as prone to stiffness as other parts of the spine, but not so surprising since it is a difficult area of the body to stretch.
A stiff thoracic spine can cause pain between the shoulder blades but can also cause excess loading of the lumbar spine, the neck and shoulders, which in turn can lead to pain in these areas as well as headaches. In really extreme cases, a stiff thoracic spine can lead to an unsightly condition known as Dowager's (or Bison's) Hump, which is a thickening of the soft tissues at the base of the neck.
Like so many other modern-day problems resulting from work, people who spend hours either in the car or sitting poorly in front of computer screens are particularly prone to thoracic stiffness (and the attendant problems this can cause). People with poor posture are also at risk. On a more general level, since the thoracic spine provides much of the rotation and extension of the spine required for athletes, anyone that plays sport is likely to find their movement restricted and performance lim
... keep reading on reddit ➡About 9 months ago, a PT pointed out that I have a flat thoracic spine. He told me that - because of this condition - I should try to move my upper body as often as possible.
I searched for information about this problem, but could only find a few useful videos by Eric Cressey:
- https://youtu.be/t9XKZRIIazc
- https://youtu.be/EugElNVC2BU
- https://youtu.be/dECHA7g8h00 Basically, what he says is that a person with a flat thoracic spine should mainly train movements that involve the protraction of the scapulae and should avoid rowing movements.
I have some questions about hypokyphosis:
- Do you think that this condition can be solved through exercise? If so, what do you think one should do to increase the curvature of the thoracic spine? Do breathing patterns have something to do with that?
- Are there any resources (books/videos...) that target hypokyphosis specifically? For example, does your book "Overcoming Poor Posture" deal with this problem in particular?
I get a pretty bad cramp anytime I do a deep thoracic spine stretch. This same area tends to become painful when I go for long walks. Does anyone know why this happens and/or how to fix it?
If so, can you recommend any exercises / stretches. I haven’t been able to get any relief yet.
- Got an MRI last summer and it shows a couple 2 mm herniations with a spur, but I wasn’t experiencing pain then. It’s been a week where I’ve had a throbbing pain in my thoracic spine.

Before we discuss the importance of thoracic spine mobility, we should talk about the anatomy. The thoracic spine is the longest region of the spine, and by some measures it is also the most complex. Connecting with the cervical spine above and the lumbar spine below, the thoracic spine runs from the base of the neck down to the abdomen. It is composed of twelve vertebrae and is the only spinal region attached to the rib cage.
The thoracic spine is built for rotation, flexion, and extension. It has a potential for lots of mobility, however due to our poor postures and the addition of twelve pairs of ribs connecting to the spine we often lack thoracic spine mobility. The thoracic spine must be used, must be moved. Many of us however do not use our thoracic spine as it was intended to be use and thus use something more familiar, the lower back. When you lack mobility in a region of the spine that is intended to be mobile (mid back) you overuse a region of your spine that is intended to be stable (lower back). Which is one good reason why lower back pain is such an epidemic in our country.
The lower back or lumbar spine is built for stability. It’s supposed to support the weight of the body and resist excessive rotation and twisting. It is not meant to twist and bend and do all sorts of the acts that the mid back is supposed to do. It can move, obviously, but it’s not meant to be overly mobile.
