my mattress is old. i dont do heavy deadlifts because of this, but heavy squats i dont want to give up.
basically when he cracks all those joints in my lower back im fine for at least 4 weeks. but the last two times he said ok there we go like he did get them cracked but he didnt.
have you been to many chiropractors? what do they usually do for you im curious? ive seen some use x-rays, different kinds of tables etc.. but ive only been to one.

I have a bad lower back due to hurniated discs n shit. Sumo style squats and deads help me feel more stable, and less pressure on my lower back
yes back when i had great insurance i used to go to a chiropractor 2X per week.. its a nice little scam they have going. they would crack my back and hook me up to a vibrating machine.. $500 out the door and $15 out of pocket. here is the thing.. the more they crack your back, the more you will need to come in. do some research online and you will see its true. what happens when they adjust is you get temporary relief but you will end up being hooked on it and needing to keep going back over and over and over again. going to him i got nowhere so i decided to take some yoga classes and i got a better mattress and better chair at my office. and boom, my back problems dissapeared!! yoga will stretch out your muscles and loosen things up.
thats why i told you above a good chiropractor will have you come in a couple times and then cut you loose with homework to do at home.. could be stretches, changing pillow/mattress etc. if they find out you have good insurance they will milk you as much as possible.
i would recommend you switch over to an acupuncturist instead, look up reviews online and find a good one. and start doing some yoga classes, get a better mattress.. remember chiropractors work on BONE, not muscle. and i would lay off the heavy squats. you can still work out the lower body without squats

Just get a goddamn inversion table already. It amazes me that everyone into this sport doesnt own/wont buy one.

I kept having problems with chiros.. Till I found one way into sports meds. So then in the first ten minutes. He says ah.. Your hips are off. Then he said my left leg was shorter. Not by a ton like 6mm. But after some pulling and cracking. Now just go when I feel like it. So keep shopping till you find one. Oh and if you are huge your chiro needs to be able to reach around you to crack you.
I use it every day or EOD, depends. Spine alignment is a wonderful thing. If it werent for the blood rushing to your head I would hang upsidedown for an hour.
Inversion tables arent a past fad. They are legit and really help.
My wife has degenerative disk disease and 10 years ago could barely get through a day of work, let alone lift anything or bend over.
Constantly shoveling anti inflammatories and muscle relaxers.
I bought her a table and she used it twice daily for 3 months and she was as good as new. She runs, lifts very heavy things (100 lb + from the floor) for her job...... no problems since.
