Once the chiropractor visits and stretching exercises got me to where I could hold my back in proper posture with only a moderate amount of pain, I started adding in free weight exercises to further strengthen my back and other stabilizing muscles. Went from a pinched L4 to pretty much no pain in about four months combined with the chiro, stretching, and weight loss. Was a 260 lb. desk slug with little muscle tone, and now 204 lbs. and going to be training at ArkanSasuke tomorrow!
