Discomfort does not persist because you have not done enough stretches, exercises, or taken enough painkillers.
 

It may persist because traditional mattresses can hold the spine in an unnatural position for hours every single night, compressing the discs.
 

Think of your discs like sponges. 

During the day they stay hydrated and cushion your nerves.

But at night, hour after hour, they get compressed. Squeezed dry.
 

And when a disc gets compressed night after night, it does not just dehydrate, it may starts to bulge outward.

Like a sponge that has been squeezed so many times it loses its shape.
 

Doctors call this a herniated disc.
 

And once it bulges, it pushes directly into your sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in your body, running from your lower back all the way down to your foot.  

That may explain the shooting sensations. The tossing and turning at night. The unbearable mornings.

But healing tends to be difficult when discs are being compressed every night.

"Instead of preventing the compression, we have been trying to support the nerve while the compression continues every single night," Dr. Peterson explained.

"Sufferers who don't see results from traditional approaches often aren't doing anything wrong."

"Their bodies are simply responding to a pattern nobody has addressed."
