[Cycler]

It wold be a long explanation...

Here is a great place to start though:

Liebenson is one of the most important writers in the field of spine problems and his books

should be in every physicians library as they are a distillation of all the best non-surgical thinking over the past 40 years.

You should also Google the; Sport Study and reading some of those articles about it would tell you more than you would ever want to know I imagine.

Sometimes I can get rid of it myself and other times my PM doesnt a trigger point and that works almost immediately. I have bulges from the L1 down and chronic nerve root irritation. My back rarely hurts unless I am in a position for too long that I shouldn't be in. Thanks for any info you supply. I've always been curious about this. You are right . I haven't met a Dr. yet who has had any interest in explaining this phenomena to me.
