FAQ: "Brian, how long did you have to take off from lifting when you worked with Dr. McGill?" |

A general question - the answer is months. It's not uncommon to fall into a continuum of pain; due to not genuinely being healed before loading the bar again. You must give your body time to heal and adapt to load again. Some back pain sufferers might not have to take very much time off from lifting; others will require significant time to recover.
