of those people who exercised and got relief at the beginning still ended up in my office or worse, in surgery.
the muscles are involved but not in the way we used to think they were.
what happens is that somehow you knock a bone out of place in a direction your body cannot self-correct. this happens because bones can be moved out of place where the body has no muscles pulling in the opposite direction – the direction needed to pull the bone back into its proper position.
your body tries the best it can to take the stress off the bone it cannot self-correct so it does not get injured further.
