My older sister has a pinched nerve somewhere in her mid-lower back. I think she got it in a car accident or something. She cannot afford surgery to fix it right now, and it’s been making her life hard for quite some time. What are some things I can do to help relieve some of the pain or make her life easier?

It’s probably a pinched muscle for a pinched nerve would send her to the hospital right now. Here is how to release that pain:
Back:
Place your left hand on your left knee. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and with your fingertips find the muscle next to your spine. Press on it and hold. Relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don’t tense up any part of your body. After about 30 seconds there should be a release happening and when it does slowly lower yourself forward onto your right leg. If you can lean over the outside edge of your leg it will be better for your release. Continue holding for a total of one minute. Then release but rest your body there for one minute longer. Then reverse and do the right side.
