When To Exercise In Low Back Pain?
Low back pain as a result of muscle spasm responds well to exercise. But if the pain is due to a problem in the spine, exercise needs to be done more cautiously. One common warning sign of nerve compression is sciatica, or pain that radiates from the back down into the leg. The pain may be accompanied by a tingling "pins and needles" sensation. If you have sciatica, don't begin a new exercise program without speaking to a doctor.
