These 3 disc conditions is the primary cause for most neck and back conditions worldwide.

Which are easier to recover from? Lumbar mid thoracic neck.? My worst pain is in between my shoulder blades and neck sometimes. The mri showed bulging discs in the neck, but my fear is that I may also ha e bulging discs in my mid back. I feel that good ringdinger by DR Gregory Johnson would help a lot. Would you recommend this adjustment?

I have an L5/S1 annular prolapse on the left side compressing the nerve route. It happened in May 2016. I have made significant recovery with no intervention apart from Naproxen very early on, osteopathy and later physiotherapy. I continue with self-managed physio including Mckenzie and your instructional videos on piriformis stretches, etc.

As a natural bodybuilder I have made significant progression in the gym and continue to do so. I weigh 184lbs and 12%bf at 6'2".

My problem psychologicaly mainly but occasionally physiologically is the lack of power in my left gastrocnemius compared to my right. There is also some atrophy and that's the psychological part. Ten months in and while improving, the calf is still weak by comparison and full stretch is also not possible.

Do I resign myself to living with this for the rest of my life or will the calf ever return?

Dr my woman has been suffering from a synovial cyst on her C3 and diagnose with spinal stenosis. Her shoulders have been twitching for 3 months non stop. It's real hard for her to rest. She wants avoid surgery. We have seen a chiropractor and done acupuncture but none have made a difference so far.. is there an exercise you could recommend that would help overtime. Thanks for everything. @motivationaldoc
