I have a pretty serious back injury which resulted in a cracked and compacted lumbar vertebrae. I've had loads if Physio and manage it by keeping my core muscles really strong. When I slide and stop doing the exercises the pain becomes excruciating again and I need to go back on pain killers.


The exercises I find most effective are crunches and twist crunches along with side and gentle back exercises. I did try massage and acupuncture in the past but it didn't help at all.


I was told in 2001 that if I carried on doing Taekwondo and circuits etc I had a high chance of ending up in a wheelchair and was booked in for spinal surgery but 12 years later and without the surgery I'm still doing a lot of sport.


I'd definitely recommend lots if Physio over pretty much anything else.

Chiropractor. I suffered from back/neck pain from the age of 13 until my early 20s, having been sent to physios, given stretches to do, painkillers etc. I finally found my way to a chiropractor and after 6 weeks of treatment have never had the same problem again.


Any time I feel a small niggle in my back, pelvis or neck I to straight to Daniel Harvey and one treatment sorts it out.

And the type of Chiropractic treatment I would highly recommend is Wendy Watson or others who practice MCTIMONEY CHIROPRACTIC at the Dulwich Therapy Rooms above the health shop on Lordship Lane. Next to Mr Moo on the left as you walk up from the roundabout.

I have suffered a few knocks of the ol' motorbike over the years and they put me straight. But more importantly I go about 3 times a year for a top up to straighten me out and align everything perfectly. And yes she gives you exercises if necessary to help keep things strong. Good luck!

I wouldn't recommend acupuncture from personal experience. Know it sounds rubbish but walking is very good for lower back problems. Would also try stretches, arching back/bottom forward but gently to start. Whatever you choose remember more damage can be done so be carful.

    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
