Herniated Disc Books
There are several different types of herniated disc books detailing a variety of treatment methods for disc pain syndromes. Most books are centered around physical therapy and extol the virtues of using a particular form of activity or specific
herniated disc exercises
to enact pain relief. The other books are mostly
knowledge therapy
manuals, such as those that I recommend for curing the various forms of
psychosomatic disc pain.
Herniated Disc Books / Exercise Therapy
Herniated disc exercise is a topic which never seems to grow old and so many of you write to me asking for my personal recommendations on the perfect form of exercise for
herniated disc relief.
As you might know, I am a huge advocate of physical activity, but do not recommend any form of exercise specifically as a
herniated disc treatment
for most types of painful complaints. The reason for this is simple… Structural disc pain is likely to escalate with vigorous activity, since the body feels pain upon movement in the affected vertebral level. Patients who DO enjoy relief from exercise are virtually never actually suffering from pain due to their
bulging disc.
Sure, the herniation may be there, but it is not the source of pain. The mere fact that exercise provides relief is often very telling evidence of an
ischemic
condition as the real culprit for symptoms.
Herniated Disc Books / Knowledge Therapy
Knowledge therapy books are not generally focused on
herniated disc
conditions, but often address them specifically, since they are common diagnosed causes of back pain. Most sources tend to discourage the reader from acknowledging the physical symptoms at all. Instead, the sufferer is advised to learn the incredibly common and mostly asymptomatic nature of herniated discs and is told to work past the
nocebo effect
which may be at least partially responsible for the symptomatic expression. When originally popularized, knowledge therapy had many critics, especially in the medical community, since these care providers still embraced the structural Cartesian model of
back pain.
However, as the years have passed, more and more doctors recognize the value of this proven treatment, since the
research on herniated discs
clearly shows very little correlation between spinal abnormalities and back pain.
Herniated Disc Books Advice
Many people write to me and ask questions about knowledge therapy. They tend to wonder how reading a book or three will heal their spines and resolve their pain. They do not seem to understand that there is no need to heal anything, since the disc is NOT the actual source of pain. It is merely there, coincidental and innocent. This DOES NOT apply to every case, but it does describe the overwhelming majority of
chronic disc pain
occurrences. If you are truly interested in knowledge therapy, I advise you to try it out for yourself. There is no cost and you have nothing to lose… except your pain!
