Well....went to the Chiro today for work on lower back. He's a pretty stout little fella himself and said he has worked with the Dallas Cowboys and some major colleges. He scolded me a bit for doing squats...
I asked for an alternative and he recommended leg presses and lunges...anything to get the weight off the shoulders and compression off the spine.
While this makes sense, I'm still heistant as I really like squating....
He said I should get an xray of my lowerback, but he said he could feel about 30-50% deteriation of some of my discs....he also recommended that Lortex(sp?) machine that slightly separates your vertabre to add mobility?
What do you guys think?
