Talk:Back Pain/Treatment-Behavior

I'm missing a section on exericising. From my own experience (over 20 years of back pain and lots of chiropractor visits) I can only recommend the following: - If you tend to be overweight, control your weight - Exercise, the one thing that reduced and eliminated my pain is swimming, no other exercise worked better for me. I had a lot of physiotherapy but nothing achieved similar success compared to swimming (Swimming every second day for 45 minutes proved sufficient for me) - A good bed and mattress (This might require trials with several brands and types) and only sleeping several nights on it will tell you if it works for you. Trying in a shop will not be sufficient. There are also shops or should I say companies that have specialized and give you advice when you show them your MRI of your back if you have one.
