What can I do about lower back pain when running and working out?I love to work out and need to stay in shape for my job. I was told I have mild scoliosis and lumbago in my lower back. I was told to stretch out and do it when I work out but my lower back still just kills me after working out. I don't want to go under the knife if a doctor said I had to. Anyone have any suggestions for this?

Stretching is about the best and long walks don't allways run or jog try power walking and hot soaks after also sleep directly flat on your back with pillow under legs to take bind off lower back.

As a family practice physician, I recommend you find a good chiropractor that can treat any alignment issues that are occurring. Make sure it is a chiropractor that ACTIVELY uses rehabilitaion (muscle strengthening through the use of specific exercises. )
From the information you have given me you are not a candidate for any kind of surgery so don't worry about that.

Listen to the doctor... and to add my two cents as a gymnastics teacher: to strengthen your lower back- you have to strengthen your abs, because the muscles that keep your lower back healthy and painless are supported on both sides of that particular part of the spine. Do hip/ pelvic tilts for example.... lean on the wall with a flat back and then tilt hips/ pelvis with extension and contraction motion of whole upper body or only the lower part> feet shoulder width and knees slightly bent during the process.... also go on all fours and do the cat motion- rounding your back (chin towards chest) and remaining there while continuing to breathe (always!) and then carefully going down with your chin first toward the floor in a fluent motion> back to rounding your back. These are just suggestions.
Doing forward and backward pelvic tilt is very easy and smooth on a giant ball.

I work for a chiropractor.....The best thing you can do is ab strengthening. Alot of times if your abs arent in shape you will have low back pain.....the muscles wrap around to your back.....so start getting those ABS in shape.
