And question is?: Given all verterbra, both bones&spongy-disks between them are under constant compression 24/7 (thus blocking microvascular blood supply; crucial for healing) by 3 overlaying layers of vertebral muscles (plus gravity in any variant of more vertical torso position) best relief for such problems is traction, however done, for 10-20 minutes, often one of more times/day. An inversion table is one way.
