Hello Dr. Melissa West,
I have watched your videos for quite awhile and look on your Web site as well. I want to ask you a question;
First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Adam Lechowicz and I am Polish. I have lived in United States for 34 years. In this time I develop diabetes, lower back problems and huge amount of extra weight. Now I also develop kidney failure end stage. I spoke with my doctor and she told me if I lose weight and get same strength, I may help my kidney. I try many exercise and they just did not work out. For some unknown reason I was thinking Yoga is meditation program not exercise until I see on youtube few episodes of Yoga. I don’t see any other way for me to lose little weight. Do you have any program which will help me losing weight and fixing my lower back pain, and help my kidney at the same time?
Dear Adam
Thank you for your question. According to traditional chinese medicine, your kidneys are also related to the general health of low back so, if have kidney issues, you probably will also have low back issues. They go together. Your kidneys filter the fluids in your body, so make sure you are getting drinking plenty of water and getting adequate hydration. Check out this video I did on the top 10 reasons to stay hydrated: http://www.melissawest.com/10-reasons-to-stay-hydrated/
Here is a Namaste Yoga video that I did a number of years ago that addresses your low back and kidneys: http://youtu.be/U-D2QvteBgU
Also, on the membership site I have a Yoga for Winter series where I go into detail on a class for yoga for the kidney and the kidney meridian as well. http://www.drwest.ca/forumdisplay.php?99-Monday-Kidneys-and-Kidney-Meridian Video Rating: / 5

Receptionist has upper back pain that radiates along the trapezius muscle. She seeks the Y-strap Chiropractic Adjustment again. Patient gets full body adjustment to correct the root cause of the problem. Dr Joseph Cipriano DC adjusts her using his full body technique and the powerful Y-strap at the end.
Patient instantly feels relief after Dr Cipriano’s Y-strap full spine (Full Body) whole body Chiropractic adjustment. Dr Cipriano’s neck strap adjustment (neck pull adjustment) is very powerful that decompresses the entire spine removing pressure off the nerves to allow the body to heal and function. Dr Cipriano is a full body (whole body) chiropractor that uses a neck strap adjustment device to manually decompress the spine. Instant relief after y strap. Loud chiropractic cracks in neck, loud chiropractic cracks in mid back and loud chiropractic cracks in low back. Any crack addict will enjoy. Bearded Doc wears yeezys!

Pain causes negativity and passiveness in life. The receptivity and perception of pain varies from person to person. But in general, pain of any sort, especially chronic pain has really adverse effects on the brain. Living in pain can actually reduce the size of the brain which predisposes one to dementia, psychological problems, sensori-motor disorders and increases chance of mortality. This has been proved in many scientific studies.
The perception and reaction of pain is a complex system in human body. If your body tends to be in stress, it can lead to subtle contractions and spasms. It reduces the circulation to vital organs of our body including brain, which reduces your brain size and affects your performance.
Those who meditate and practice mindfulness have been shown to have more brain volume especially the grey matter which helps keep the pain under control by releasing endorphins and also keeps the body and mind functioning at the optimal levels.
‘Dhyaan Hari Om’ Mantra when combined with powerful alpha waves, works as a potent pain killer. These sounds can help reduce the pain by actually working directly on your brain level. It puts one to a state of mindfulness immediately. Daily listening to this will also improve your ability to perform and engage in challenging activities while maintaining an optimal mindset. It will give you a boost in energy levels and promote better sleep as well.
Just relax, put on your headphones and focus on breathing or the area of pain. Your pain will vanish soon.

Low back pain is by far the most common source of discomfort we deal with. The irony is, a lot of times what we feel is rooted in the lower back is actually caused by muscles not in the back at all. In this video, I’m going to show you how the glute medius could be the real cause of your back pain and a quick exercise you can do to relieve your discomfort instantly. Once gone, I’m also going to show you a few additional exercises you can do to make sure your low back pain never returns.
The gluteus medius is sandwiched between the glute maximus and minimus and lies in and around the hip area. The role of the muscle is to abduct your hip or lift your leg out to the side in either standing or side lying and to keep your pelvis level whenever you take a step. Prolonged sitting during the day as well as an unequal weight distribution when standing are two of the most common reasons for this muscle to get weak and imbalanced.
You can quickly test to see if you have the makings of a weak glute medius by standing with your feet shoulder width apart and lifting one foot off the ground. First take note whether or not your opposite hip drops significantly. If it does, this would indicate a glute weakness on that side. You would repeat with the opposite foot as well. When you do this you would also want to see if you had to dramatically shift your weight to one side just to lift that foot off the ground. If you do, this would indicate that you have an unequal weight distribution when standing and it would be especially troublesome when squatting.
To fix this quickly, you will want to lay down on the ground with your affected side on top. If your right lower back was bothering you then you would want to lie on your left hip. From here, take your thumb and place it on the area most sore. You should feel that this is going to happen just to the outside of the bony prominence of your pelvis. From here, push to hold back the trigger point and start flossing your leg down and in front of you and then back and up. Your hip should be extended and then lifted into abduction towards the ceiling (being sure to point the toes down to keep the glute medius in focus). Do this about 10 times until you feel the tension in the muscle release.
Now, you can burn out the spasm in the trigger point by getting into the fully contracted position of the glute medius muscle and holding as long as you can. Generally, because this muscle is often very weak, this may not be any longer than 30 seconds to a minute. Once you cannot hold it any more you will stand up and you should notice an immediate relief of the pain on that side.
This is the quick but not permanent fix for this problem. Since the underlying cause is weakness in the gluteus medius muscle you will want to back this up with some exercises for your low back that you can do a few times a week. I show you three options for this. The first is the hip bump against the wall. The second is called the sack swinger, and can be done with a dog leash if you don’t have a formal dip belt. The last is actually doing the same movement that you did for the treatment, but this time as a strengthening exercise for your low back.
Whatever you do, just be sure you are consistent. You will also see that as you relieve the tension in this muscle that your squat performance improves as well. Your depth should be increased and any low back pain that you felt by doing the exercise should be gone since you will now be able to do them with equal force through each leg.
If you are looking for a program that puts the science back in strength in every workout, head to http://athleanx.com and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System. Start not only looking like an athlete but feeling like one as you take your training serious and take your results to the next level.

ABOUT LOWER BACK PAIN:
Back pain is very common and normally improves within a few weeks or months.
Pain in the lower back (lumbago) is particularly common, although it can be felt anywhere along the spine – from the neck down to the hips.
In most cases the pain isn’t caused by anything serious and will usually get better over time.
There are things you can do to help relieve it. But sometimes the pain can last a long time or keep coming back.
HOW TO RELIEVE LOWER BACK PAIN:
The following tips may help reduce your backache and speed up your recovery:
• Stay as active as possible and try to continue your daily activities – this is one of the most important things you can do, as resting for long periods is likely to make the pain worse.
• Try exercises and stretches for back pain; other activities such as walking, swimming, yoga and pilates may also be helpful.
• Take anti-inflammatory painkillers, such as ibuprofen – remember to check the medicine is safe for you to take first and ask a pharmacist if you’re not sure.
• Use hot or cold compression packs for short-term relief – you can buy these from your local pharmacy, or a hot water bottle and a bag of frozen vegetables wrapped in a cloth will work just as well
Although it can be difficult, it helps if you stay optimistic and recognise that your pain should get better, as people who manage to stay positive despite their pain tend to recover quicker.
WHEN TO GET ADVICE:
Back pain usually gets better on its own within a few weeks or months and you may not need to see a doctor or other healthcare professional.
But it’s a good idea to get help if:
• The pain doesn’t start to improve within a few weeks
• The pain stops you doing your day-to-day activities
• The pain is very severe or gets worse over time
• You’re worried about the pain or are struggling to cope
You can see your GP, who will ask about your symptoms, examine your back, and discuss possible treatments.
Alternatively, you may want to consider approaching a physiotherapist directly. Some NHS physiotherapists accept appointments without a doctor’s referral, or you could choose to pay for private treatment.
WHEN TO GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ADVICE:
You should contact your GP or NHS 111 immediately if you have back pain and:
• Numbness or tingling around your genitals or buttocks
• Difficulty peeing
• Loss of bladder or bowel control
• Chest pain
• A high temperature (fever) of 38C (100.4F) or above
unexplained weight loss
• A swelling or a deformity in your back
• It doesn’t improve after resting or is worse at night
• It started after a serious accident, such as after a car accident
These problems (red flags) could be a sign of something more serious and need to be checked urgently.
I have tried my best to add as many red flag symptoms but incase I have missed anything please make sure to visit the following pages as well,
