Top 5 Essential Exercises You Need To Help Fix Back Arthritis

- Back arthritis is often seen as a doomsday diagnosis by people and their doctors. Doctors often tell their patients that they’ll “eventually need surgery”, and “it’s just a matter of time” because it’s an “age-related problem.”
Once healthcare providers show their patients the x-rays or MRIs of the their lower backs and tell them they have things like, “facet arthropathy,” “lumbar osteoarthritis,” “facet arthritis” or “facet osteoarthritis” (these are all medical terms used for back arthritis) they don’t have much to offer to fix this. Doctors are best trained in offering medications and recommending surgery.
We staunchly refuse this!!! In more than 9 out of 10 cases of lower back arthritis, it is possible to get more mobility, reduce pain, and return to normal again!
You’ve just got to start on the right treatment. Chances are you’ve got a muscle imbalance that is causing your back arthritis problem. It’s the muscle imbalance that’s the true root of the problem.
Muscle imbalances don’t show up on x-rays or MRIs. Doctors and surgeons aren’t trained to find them and very rarely know about them and how they influence back arthritis so much.
In this video, Dr. David shows you how to start exercising properly to help fix back arthritis at the root so that you can get back to normal without surgery, injections or medications.
⚡️The 28 Day Back Health & Wellness Boost Program is an online comprehensive exercise program that targets the root problem of back arthritis!
It's a 100% online and on-demand program for improving overall back health. It's packed with exercises, advice and coaching from Dr. David.

After 2 days of horrible pain, you bought me relief. 😊
Thank you for your video! I am 51 and have been diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis in my L4 & L5 as well as a bulged disc. I have intense pain and tightness in my left hip and find standing for extended periods of time difficult. I was seeing a physio who had me doing knee to chest stretches, side to side bent knee stretches and standing upward stretches, all of which was causing me more pain. My mum has been telling me to do planks to strengthen my core muscles but I didn’t feel any of this was helping. Thank you for explaining the mechanics of the lumbar spine and giving me simple exercises that will actually help my condition.
You want to stay away from planks for a while until you don't make to an intermediate level with your strength and mobility. The planks are usually not done properly and the fact you would be holding your breath is just putting extra pressure on your pain and will cause a flair up. You can look up a proper way to do it for us in pain, however I'd probably stay away from that excercise completely.
Thank you for always giving useful ingormation. My own improvement is miraculous from your instruction, so I am very grateful for your being here for so many. God bless you always.
You're welcome Jack!!! We're happy to help everyone we can here on TH-cam!!!
Best advice I have found on TH-cam for low back osteoarthritis! Thanks! I have long term chronic back & hip pain, severe arthritis, scoliosis, spondylosis, worsening stenosis, bone spurs & kyphosis. Inherited some issues & early years in poverty without proper nutrition are factors. I teach yoga & Pilates for many years & have kept my pain manageable until the last 6 months, your instructions are very enlightening. I thought focus on back muscle strength was good, bit with all the arthritis it was too much.
Hey Kay, Thank you for your kind words! 🧡 We are so sorry to hear that you have been suffering from long-term chronic back & hip pain, severe arthritis, scoliosis, spondylosis, stenosis, bone spurs & kyphosis. That is a lot for one person to handle and we can only imagine what you have been through. We are thrilled to hear that the advice provided in the videos has been helpful to you. It sounds like you've been managing remarkably well despite the multiple conditions you mentioned. Your positive attitude is inspirational! 🌟
It's wonderful that you have a background in yoga and Pilates, as these practices can be beneficial for overall flexibility, posture, and core strength.

Thanks for the video!
THE BEST!
Thank you
I just started tinazidine and steroid tablets for 5 days prescribed by emergency room doctor. Otherwise these exercises would be way too painful. I hope that these will help! I have chronic pain in low back…arthritis, facet , SI joint, aggravated by lifting my grandson recently .
Thanks Dr David. Great workouts
Hey Roly! You're very welcome!
You are good always.
Thank you Venkata!!!
So appreciated! Thank you for leading me to these videos!
You're welcome Carol! 😊
Thank you for all your expertise and doing these videos to try to help people.
You’re welcome Pam!!! We’re happy to help!!!
Very well explained and demonstrated. I hate exercising (LOL) but I hate my arthritis pain more. I appreciate your explanation on what is felt when the exercise form is incorrect too. Thank you for your videos! You have your own playlist in my saved videos.
Hey Valerie, Thank you for your kind words! LOL, Exercise isn't always our favorite either. Thank you for sharing that because so many people feel the same way about it and it can be hard to stay motivated but if you do a little something every day it can really add up. We appreciate your support and we hope you can continue to feel relief. In case you are interested we do have additional information in our online program that is self-guided called the 28 Day Back Health & Wellness Boost Program.

We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
This is great! My doctor gave me a few of these exercises but you make sure technic is correct! Thanks so much 😊
You're so welcome! ❤️
Difficult but useful, thanks.
Hey Dheif, they’re usually not as difficult As they look. And if you do have trouble just do what you can!
Those five exercises are easy to follow and easy to do, which is exactly enough of a daily challenge for an octogenarian like me.
Great advice and exercises to relieve pain. Correct me if I’m wrong but osteoarthritis is when the cushion between each spine is worn so the pain comes from the rubbing of bone on bone. I recently came across research where the control group with osteoarthritis were given 8 prunes a day, the other group did not get prunes. End of experience (I believe it was 6 months) the control group showed great improvement.
Hey EBH! That is a simple way of explaining osteoarthritis. It is a rather complex phenomena, but your way of explaining it helps to simplify the majority of the condition. That is a really interesting piece of research! We will definitely look into that!
"Fix"? Yeah umm, unless you're prescribing a time machine I suspect what you meant to say is "treat" your arthritis. As someone learning to accept the reality of my situation it's a bit jarring to see how many videos claim there's any way to actually reverse the degeneration and damage. Detracts from what looks to otherwise be good rehab and mitigation exercises.
Hey Doc,, Would You Recommend I Get Deep Tissue Back Massages For All My Spinal Issues Or Could It Only Make My Issues Worse?? PLEASE HELP 🙏🏽??
Hey Doc,, What is the Difference Between DJD, Osteoarthritis, Bone Spurs, Scoliosis and Radioculopathy Throughout My Cervical and L4- L5 ,, Basically My Whole Spinal Column??
Could you please suggest exercises to build and strengthen glutes for people with *spinal stenosis. Do you have a video for that? If not, could you please upload one? Thanks!!
Is it safe to do these exercises as I also have osteoporosis in my spine? Thanks for any advice.
Is the abdominal curl safe if you have osteoporosis also? I've heard to keep back elongated, not to curl upper back to prevent spinal fractures...
I would like to know how to relieve my thoracic back pain. It burns daily. It prevents me from doing my daily activities. Do you have exercise suggestions for this area?
i don't know if there is such a thing as a placebo effect with exercise, but i wanted to comment that i felt a noticeable difference after the first series of exercises on this video. i was a bit alarmed bc i was feeling pain when i hunched over and pushed up on my mid-spine area. I couldn't understand why pushing on my spine would hurt. Then it occurred to me that it might be arthritis. I found this video and can't believe it's made a difference. I haven't been diagnosed bc I've been avoiding doctors. Don't want to be prescribed more pain meds. I've been taking a product called Heal n Soothe bc I learned about the damaging effects of fibrin and I like the natural ingredients in it that work to remove it, but I still found myself taking the celebrex that I have when I get more uncomfortable than usual. I'm waiting for the HnS to kick in and your exercises seem to be a good complement and fit for me. Thank you very much. The relief I'm feeling motivates me to add it to my regimen. 🤞🙏
THANK YOU SO MUCH for the information you are putting out there!!! I had scoliosis surgery back in the 8th grade (11 years ago) and have been experiencing a combination of lower back, hip, and tailbone pain during my pregnancies(on my third one now- had to have 2 csections because baby went into distress+routine repeat C-section and now I’m working on healing my body to aim for a Vba2c). Genuinely think baby went into distress the first time because my body was not able to adjust properly due to the imbalances. I have been working on physical therapy exercises and prenatal yoga stretches the whole pregnancy but have been having difficulty as I’ve been experiencing lots of additional inflammation and pain following. I have been unsure of when to start up again or push through. Brisk walks seem to be the only exercise that doesn’t cause inflammation afterwards. Was doing bird dogs for a bit and like you said- it helped for a short bit then got worse. Pelvic tilts, Glute bridges and cat cows(angry cats) have been incredibly helpful. I have been having to learn to balance relative rest and working my body between stretching proper areas and strengthening and not over doing it as far as movement and rest goes. Your video helped fill in SO many gaps. I was trying to just focus on listening to my body to see what feels good and what helps and it’s been taking so long. 3 years of research and trial and error work.. and you have helped so much. Thank you thank you thank you! Going into my Vbac with way more confidence now ❤️ I don’t even feel pregnant some days and it’s amazing! Thank you!
Would you avoid the bird dog exercise and dead bugs?
Will these exercises help with DDD and Spinal Stenosis?
Would this be the correct exercises for Arthritis on the T12 ?
Hi fafical, these are safe and beneficial for the thoracic spine as well.
I just don’t understand the specific motion involved in the first exercise.
How do you know if it’s back arthritis? Had X-rays and I’m a bit crooked. Have had many injuries.
Hey Bonnie, We are sorry to hear that you have been struggling with multiple injuries and that your x-rays show that your back is bit crooked. 🥺 We do have a video that discusses back arthritis and its symptoms. We will attach it here:
"Back Arthritis: Everything You Need To Know Understand and Fix The Root Problem" th-cam.com/video/c7363jdPLeI/w-d-xo.html
We hope you start feeling some relief soon! We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
I hope I am not too late. My feet have become so numb I will have to give up driving my vehicle. The pain keeps me in bed all day when it gets very bad, my heating pad causes burns but it still isn't hot enough. I've seen so many doctors in the past 6 years and the majority were useless. Gabapentin and antidepressants are the only medications offered. The ideas presented here make sense and are logical, so what have I got to lose? I will check back here and report my results. Wish me luck! Thank you!!
Have you seen any improvement? Wishing you the best!
@@dianadeejarvis7074 Hi, yes I am much better now, thanks! You are most kind tp ask..
@@Matt-nj glad to hear you're better. Thanks for responding.
I think I have the tilt but should my neck feel tired after doing 5 sessions of tithe the fifth 10 sequence
Hey Christine, great question! It is possible that in this position you are using your neck muscles more than you are used to. It may be beneficial to also focus on stretches and exercises for the neck as well. In case you are interested, we have a great video that can help relieve some of the neck tiredness or stiffness.
