Jogging May Be Good for Your Back

People who often run or walk briskly seem to possess healthier discs in their spines than folks that do not stay active or do not exercise.

The human spine is a complex mechanism, consisted of bones and discs in between. These discs, formed like little cushions, contain a viscous fluid that compresses and absorbs pressure throughout the movement, keeping the back in good shape.

Slower walks and standing in place were not as effective. The sweet spot for spinal disc health is somewhere between fast walking and jogging.

You may run if that is what your preference is, but a fast walk is all your spine needs to be healthy.

Of course, jogging, fast walk, or running isn’t a treatment for your spinal disk health issues, but it definitely helps in maintaining that needful balance of a healthier “spine mechanism”.

Identifying And Treating Nerve Tension Pain

Nerve tension is a pain that occurs because a nerve is being compressed or stuck in its surrounding tissue which prevents it from moving as it normally does.

This can happen for a variety of reasons. A tight muscle surrounding the nerve could compress and restrict the movement of the nerve causing a great deal of pain and discomfort.

Nerve pain is characterized by a sharp pain and/or burning sensation. The pain may come and go and is usually triggered by certain movements or positions.
