The spinal extension exercise (Cobra push-ups) resulted in significant pain relief within two to three days.

“what was remarkable is that from the very first set of those that I did I started to experience some degree of pain relief not total pain relief but some degree of pain relief and what he suggested I do and what of course I did was to do those essentially Cobra push-ups or I don't know really what to call them again it's hips in contact with the floor toes pointed back legs straight pushing back essentially what he was having me do was to try and work that disc bulge back into the more vertical alignment of the spinal column I realize that's not the exact nomenclature so all you pts and chyros and physios are probably cringing at this point but for the common listener what we were trying to do was get the cream of the Oreo cookie from stopping to squeeze out from the back of from between those cookies and back under those cookies so to speak and what I found and this was just remarkable was that within two maybe three days the pain was almost completely gone almost completely gone which was to me just staggering no pain medication”
