Isn most back pain caused by misaligned vertebrae, bulging discs, pinched nerves, and muscle spasms?
Though misaligned vertebrae often generate back pain by impinging (pinching) nerves, they are seldom the root cause of pain. The root cause of over 90% of back pain is muscle failure. In a healthy spine, strong muscles, fully hydrated discs, and flexible ligaments so powerfully bind spinal componenents that torsion of at least 480 foot/pounds is required to force misalignment of vertebra. In a weak spine–a spine with inadequate muscle tone, dehydrated discs, and rigid ligaments–a vertebra may misalign with no force beyond a simple twist of the body. Regardless of how a painful spine is treated, from a simple realignment to complex surgery, unless and until spinal components are therapeutically restored to full functional capacity through medically correct exercise, a back will never return to complete, dependable function.
