“I meant preventing reoccurring pain and fixing the root cause of the pain.” - As I mentioned before, my reoccurring and sometime severe lower back pain that lasted for many years and caused great discomfort, missing days at work and interruptions in my life style, spending lots of $$ for chiropractor, Emergency Room visit on the stretcher, etc… is COMPLETELY GONE. Nope I am not getting younger and I am not loosing weight either, actually gained about 10lbs in the last few years and I am actually passed full retirement age. The only REAL cure in my case was and is swimming every day. I have several friends who religiously doing the same on advice from their docs. Absolutely nothing else was helpful and I do not want to go back to where I was several years ago. It is a misery to have this pain or feel like your back can blow again at some un-predictable moment because there is a feel of strain there even when it did not actually hurt. I believe that swimming is aligning the back into correct position. I have no knowledge of what is going on, I just know that it fixes it and prevents the pain and feeling of strain. One much older than me lady who actually has some of her vertebrae fused, told me that she was told the same by her doctor. She is also swimming every day year around. None of us are great swimmers, we just move in a water the way we could and it is good enough and could be done at any age. None of us are interested in managing the pain, we simply do not want to have it.
