?? Yes, but this report is referring to herniated discs when probably ninety per cent of lower back pain is the result of muscles pulling when they should be relaxing caused by, bad posture, carelessness when lifting or working with tools that cause one side of the body to strain muscles on the other side, or the legs, or shoulders. Wanding is a classic example !!!!!!!!!!!
I've seen dozens of people over the years and include myself in the group who have suffered since teenage years with nagging pain which was not sciatica and when left uncorrected resulted in arthritis, due to out of balance joints in the pelvis, particularly the hip joints grinding away.
It was about forty years before I was correctly treated by which time I needed a hip replacement and had to give up jobs which I loved.
A simple alignment test can determine whether tour pelvis is correctly aligned, is tilted, or is twisted.
Physios, osteos, chiros, are all taught this simple test but what they do next varies from, giving out printed exercises to do at home, or fairly painfull manipulation ( which occasionally gets a result ) or brutally inducing pain a lying by saying the classic, but untrue...........No pain no gain.
