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 of course we all know most of these cures are coming from opportunity seekers just trying to separate you from your hard earned money. The first thing that's a dead give-away is when someone offers a cure for every sort of back pain. Just like there is no single magical diet that works for every person, there is no single solution for every cases of back and leg pain.

Back pain can be very intricate. Back pain may have more than one cause and therefore necessitate more than one solution to fix the back problem. For example, you can go online and you'll come across many websites that claim to have the ultimate cure for back pain. There is one in particular where this guy had supposedly cured his own back pain with a special set of exercises. These were his secret. Exercises that supposedly claimed would cure everyone's back pain regardless of the cause. Exercises he would give you for a nice price! If you do a little internet search you will find that this guy had also suffered with carpal tunnel syndrome and had found the cure for carpal tunnel syndrome which he also sold. He also suffered with headaches that he cured and sold the cure for migraines. Then there was his shoulder pain cure that he also sold. I think you get the point here. He obviously has the cure for nothing.

Just for kicks, we ordered this guy's special set of secret exercises. What a joke these exercises were. They were nothing more than a mix of elementary school exercises with a few wrestling stretches in between. Attempting to do some of these "special" exercises in the wrong condition can make you much worse. This is especially if you have a herniated or bulging disc. It could leave you crippled on the floor. And that's the problem with most people selling or advising exercises as a cure for back pain. They think all back pain is caused by weak or tight muscles. This is not the case in all situations.

This may be PART of the major problem. If you have a herniated or bulging disc, this is not where you should start. Take the following as an example. If the front end of your automobile goes out of alignment, what do you think happens to the tires on your car? They wear out unevenly of course. So what do you do to correct this issue? Do you drive your car a special way to try to fix the alignment on its own? Do you work on the parts of your car supporting the alignment or do you get the alignment fixed? You obviously get it fixed.

The same is true with your back pain. When you have a herniated and/or bulging disc, your spine is injured and does not work properly. The more you use it, the more abnormal stress is put on your spine and discs, and the more damage you will cause. Exercise will NOT fix a herniated disc! But, if you are treated on spinal decompression in San Diego and the herniation is healed PROPERLY, then, and only then, does it make sense to exercise to strengthen and stretch 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?
