There are so many factors that attribute to better back health:

Diet
Good Sleep
Excersize
Stretching
Educate yourself about your problem better

I see many people deal with these problems and say they are going to change one or more of the above. Most will try for a week or two and if they do not get immediate results they stop. Quicker results to consume a pain killer and give up.

Moving forward has to be a life changing experience and results take time. Granted if you have a severe structural problem that is causing you pain, you will not be perfect ever, but you can improve the way you feel over time if you can discipline yourself.

One of the best treatments for herniated disc is the spinal decompression therapy. I help patients with herniated disc everyday utilizing this therapy.

Surgeons never remove fusion hardware unless that is what is causing the pain.

I fell on a dripping pipe at my landlady’s and was told I have three herniated disks as well as 5 bulging disks in my neck. It is possible to get three herniated disks from one fall on water on the cement? I am in great pain at the present time, knees, back, legs and arms. I had two MRI’s one of the neck and one of the back. Marilyn Bloch

This information is very helpful. By going through the proper testing to KNOW that it is what you think it is. What if it’s stenosis, degenerated disc, sciatica, cervical brachial syndrome, a simple nerve compression or a facet syndrome. Once you know what is going on then it’s just a matter of using the right tools for the job. This type of pain is very serious.

Hi David,
I bought a Memory foam Mattress thinking that it was good for my back. However, I think this made my back worse as it was too soft. From speaking to my chiropractor he evaluated my back and said I required a Firm Matress and to avoid Memory Foam.
