Nothing is worse than back pain, especially when it is both chronic and acute. Eventually many people will try exercises for lower back aches. The right exercises can, in fact, help the situation.

The problem is that most people only learn how to do the exercises, without understanding why they might help the back pain in the first place. What is the purpose of the exercise is a far more important question than how to do it.

If the right exercise is done the wrong way, or with the wrong goal, additional damage can and often does happen. Usually the added injury is written off to the exercises failing and the back pain being untreatable by exercise. Really it is a misunderstanding of what the exercise is supposed to accomplish that cause it to fail. The average back pain sufferer over stretches already badly damaged areas reaching for the instant cure to their pain.

Why not? They are told the exercises are to relieve pain. If only they would stop and ask themselves how the exercise accomplishes the pain relief. No exercise can cure your lower back aches. They are not meant to. They are meant to give your back very small adjustments, similar to what a chiropractor does for you. How many times has a chiropractor stopped someone's back pain in a single visit?

When it comes to stopping lower back aches with exercise, don't expect a miracle. It takes a patient effort, doing the right exercises, the right way, at the right time, and some mild inversion to totally eliminate your back pain.
