How to heal the pain in your back (is it a slipped disc or not?)
The first mistake is to believe that the slipped disc is the cause of your back pain. It rarely, if ever, is.
Scans regularly find people with a slipped disc who have no back pain. When people do get pain from slipped discs in their lower back, that pain is usually down their leg or in their buttock, not in their back.
If the slipped disc is not giving you the pain, what is?
The real reason for your back pain
In almost every case of back pain with a slipped disc, the pain comes from extreme tension in the back muscles. Tight muscles hurt. Really tight muscles damage themselves. Those extremely tight, damaged muscles and tendons really, really hurt.
So why are your back muscles tight? The reason is almost always harmful habits of movement.
