As a spinal decompression chiropractor in sunny San Diego, I regularly look for new information on back pain. I was recently surfing around the internet and found something very interesting . I typed in cure for back pain and got thousands of matches online. I found this interesting because if there actually were so many cures, there wouldn't be anyone left with any back pain!
But we all know most of these supposed cures are coming from salesman just trying to separate you from your well earned money. The first thing that should give it away is when someone offers a cure for everything, they usually have the cure for nothing. Just like there is no one single diet that works for every person, there is no one cure for all causes of low back and neck pain.
Back pain can be severely complex. It may have more than one cause and need more than one solution or treatment. I once came across one web site that claimed he had the ultimate cure for all back pain. It didn't matter what kind of back pain it was. This guy had supposedly cured his own back pain with a special and secret set of exercises. He claimed these exercises would cure everyone's back pain regardless of the cause. These are exercises he would give you for a hefty price! I searched online on Google and found this guy had also suffered with carpal tunnel syndrome and had found the cure for that which he sold. He also suffered with headaches that he cured and of course sold the cure. Then there was his shoulder and elbow pain cure. I think you get the point as of now.
Just for fun, I ordered this guy's exclusive and special exercises. What a joke they were. They were nothing more than a mix of sixth grade gym class exercises with a few wrestling stretches to stretch out your back. Attempting to do some of these special exercises while you have a herniated or bulging disc could leave you crippled and in more pain. And that's the problem with most people pushing exercises as a cure for all back pain. They think all back pain is caused by weak or inflexible muscles that irritate the spine. This just is not true.
This may be PART of the problem, but if you have a herniated or bulging disc that is NOT where you should start. Look at it like this: If the front end of your car goes out of alignment, what do you think happens to your tires? They wear unevenly, right? So what do you do? Do you drive your car a special way to try to fix the alignment? Do you work on the parts of your car supporting the alignment? Or do you get the alignment fixed?
The same holds true when it comes to back pain. You cannot just exercise the problem away. When you have a herniated or bulging disc in your spine, your spine is injured and does not work the way it should. The more you exercise it, the more abnormal stress is put on your spine and discs, and the more damage you may cause to your spine. Exercise will not fix a herniated disc! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. There are better and more effective options available for back pain. Spinal decompression in San Diego can heal herniated discs properly. Then, and only then, does it make common sense to exercise to strengthen the area.
Here is one last thing to think about. If exercise really cured backs, why do so many world class and professional athletes suffer with excruciating back pain?
