Painful Days.

I'm 15 Years Old. Early This Year I Was In A Really Big Car Accident And Damaged My Back. The Hospital Took X-Rays And Said I Have Lumbar Stenosis And Severe Compression Damage .. ? They Say They Might Give Me An Operation But They Need To Wait (If Possible) Till I Stop Growing. They Said Until Then I Need To Keep My Weight Down And Tone My Abs And Thighs So My Back Receives Maximum Support. But They Never Told Me How To Do This Without Hurting Myself? I Want To Get Better. I Really Could Use Some Advice.

Ask your mom/dad to take you to a good, well-respected, evidence-based chiropractor who has plenty of experience treating patients your age.

I can recommend two referral directories for you should you decide to look into it:

1)  http://www.UpCspine.com
2)  http://www.icpa4kids.org/locator/index.php
