Quick takeaways
- A long-term commitment to a conservative approach, including daily exercises and lifestyle modifications, is crucial for addressing back pain and improving alignment, mobility, and strength.

Conservative Approach: Committing to Fix Your Body
To effectively address back pain and sciatica, a long-term commitment to a conservative approach is crucial. This involves dedicating yourself to daily exercises and lifestyle modifications that improve alignment, mobility, and strength. The ultimate goal is to regain the ability to perform the seven basic movements: hinging, squatting, lunging, rotating, walking, pushing, and pulling. A focused effort for at least 90 days, with progressive work and dedicated practice, is recommended to see significant improvements. This commitment may include natural anti-inflammatories, pain relief options, and possibly cortisone shots or other interventions if necessary.
