can yoga help me in improving nerve tonic of tendons around ankle region that are weak due to spinal surgery?

Yoga I see it as something positive so do anything you see would help but since you had a spinal sugery maybe you shouldn't do some of the moves that would put pressure on that region.

I've never heard of this technique.  Is it offered everywhere in the country?  I'd love to do something that isn't very high impact b/c I have back problems so maybe this might be good for me.  Thanks for bringing it to my attention! :)

They are wonderful.  I used to have one and I miss it.\nWhat you are probably feeling is how weak your stomach and back muscles really are.  They work together so if one set is weak, so is the other. \nMy personal trainer is also a yoga teacher and she's taught me about the damages done to our bodies by sitting in regular chairs--bad posture and a weak core, to begin with.

Yoga is good. drink lots of water and at least one gator aid a day for electrolites. try lavender baths. and meditation. mind over matter. and cut down on sugar and caffine.

The symptoms certainly sound like a nerve being pinched. I suffered from the exact same symptoms myself for many long years. And despite the many visits to the chiropractor.. and despite the fact that I was also a fitness instructor, it didn't make a difference.. nothing made a difference. In fact, some of the exercises actually excacerbated my condition. I was pretty much convinced that that was going to be my life forever. Until, that is, I began practicing Yoga regularly. What a difference it has made!\n\nYoga works precisely because it realigns your whole body right back to the way it used to be, so that the pinched nerve gets shifted back to its proper place (away from the disk that's now pressing down on it). \n\nShould you decide to give Yoga a try you are likely to experience relief from some of your symptoms almost from the start, but keep in mind that a complete overall body realignment will take many months of concerted practice.

Talk to your doctor about what exercises you can do.  You don't want to injure your ankle or disrupt the healing.

Yoga or other types of exercise may very well complement a chiropractic adjustment, but it would not be a substitute for a quality chiropractic adjustment.  The stretching and strengthening of muscles would help in allowing an adjustment to "hold" for longer if the exercises are done correctly.  Performing exercises improperly or over-doing it could have the reverse effect.  I hope this helps.

From what I've read, yoga can help spondylitis, but it's recommended to get advice from a doctor and an experienced yoga teacher first. It is also suggested to not do inverted poses.\n\nAshtanga yoga is intensely physical and athletic so it sounds like you should stick to gentle yoga styles.\n\nHere are two good articles to read about it:\n\nhttp://www.yogajournal.com/practice/615_1.cfm\nhttp://www.yogajournal.com/practice/244_1.cfm

You know, it is difficult to know if this is a result of the epidural or not. What does your physician say about it?\n\nChiropractic has good success with low back pain. Be sure to see a reputable chiropractor if you decide to do so.\n\nYou could try yoga or back stretching exercises, as well. Maybe a massage therapist?

A passive stretch implies stretches that you do without engaging muscle groups.  Yoga approaches such as Hatha and Vinyasa (flow) will help you discover some of these.\n\nBut for now, you could try:\n\nNeck turns, rolls, and hangs\nArm swings\nShoulder shrugs\nDead hangs, toe touches, seated leg stretches\nHurdler stretch for quadriceps\nLower back stretch pulling knees to chest\nRunners stretch for calves and hip flexor\nAnkle twists\nWindmills for the trunk\nChild's pose stretch in kneeling position for the tibialis and the upper back\n\nGood luck!

swedish massage might be better for lower back pain. It will relax the muscles in the area, allow improved circulation, and release tension. \n\nUltimately, you might want to do some form of yoga also, to complement the work of the massage, and improve the flexibility and strength of the muscles in the area.

I don't think yoga is complete in and of itself, but I think yoga would benefit anyone.  I only did it for a year and I have to admit it has done a lot for me.

Hi well i actually done the same thing about 7 years ago while holding my daughter.I tore the lateral main ligament straight off my ankle.I was in a cast for 6 wks,came out that didnt help.Had physio for 3 mths thats didnt help.My foot was still giving away a lot by now so i was put on the waiting list for a operation.It involved stapling the main ligament bck on to my lateral side off my ankle,a cast for 6 wks,physio after.7 years on i dodnt really have no problems at all with my ankle,i get some aching in that area thats all.The consultant may want to do some sort off operation on your foot,as once you have torn your ligaments and you ankle is giving away the only option is a operation,i went through it all and nothing helped part from surgery.Good Luck anyway.

Surgery should be your last option. \n\nI suggest seeing a physical therapist if necessary but avoiding poor posture. Positioning for comfort and daily abdominal crunches should help. \n\nIf it hurts don't do it. And get a comfortable bed. \n\nIf you get back spasms due to the herniation, see your doctor, you may need an antispasmotic. \n\nLow back pain is a chronic condition. There is no easy fix. Therefore, think long term solutions. You know your body and your pain better than anyone...gauge the effectiveness of your interventions by how you feel. \n\nDon't overly rely on pain meds. They can build tolerance and don't cure you. Use them only for the really bad days. By the way, alternative pain interventions really work. Don't think they don't. Research yoga or meditation. Avoid chiropractors for herniated discs. They won't help in the long run. \n\nHope that helps.

I would try yoga.\nIn yoga you just stretch yourself enough until you find a little discomfort, but not too much. Then hold the position for a few seconds, and then back off.\nYou don't have to really hurt yourself.\nYou will find that after a very short time, everything can be moved a bit further. It's important to do it every day though, even if for only a few minutes. I taught myself from a book, and find it really beneficial especially after an injury.\nI find that it makes the injury heal faster, and normal movement return much quicker.
