What to do about weightlifting after a bad spinal injury?

I got out of shape after an accident. My spine is compressed and I have multiple herniated disks in every section.|||First I recommend you to see a manual therapist or a chiropractor to get the problem fixed. In general:





1. Keep moving as long as you have no pain.





2. When you have pain, search the position that will relief pain and rest.





3. Do some exercises:





- In supine position, put a roll under the curve of the lumbar spine and another one under the cervical spine and have your hips %26amp; knees flexed to 90 while resting on a chair.





- Keep in prone position for 20 minutes, then raise your upper body on elbows for 5 minutes.





- Walking %26amp; swimming will make a big difference!





- DO NOT bend your trunk forward, always bend your knees to reach ground with your hands.





- Pain is not good! avoid it!





Hope you get well soon!|||I advised by Kannoon, you must see a physician or a chiropractor. But in general to recover from any structure deformity or misalignment one must take up regular exercise. These exercise help turn around such misalignments and recover back to normal state. Chiropractors normally use chiropractor tables for treatment. These tables are used to apply light force on very specific or effected part of body and help speed up recovery. Chiropractic table can be used at home also to perform exercises at home.


Portable Chiropractic tables are available and can be easily used at home as compared to fixed chiropractic table.





Here is one such company which offers portable chiropractic tables , its website is www.inlinetables.com
