he disc herniation's may or may not be the cause of your pain. The best thing that you have done is strengthen your core to better support your spine. You didn't mention any pain in the legs so Best guess is that it is a pelvic shift causing your pain which responds well with chiropractic, stretching and later some massage. Over time if left unchecked, your abnormal posture will start to aggravate your discs. Hope this helps. Let me know if we can help. 8109822700
