Herniated lumbar spine - exercises

The intervertebral hernia is like a toothache. If the pain has arisen, it will not pass by itself.

The cause of the herniation of the lumbar spine is the penetration of the nucleus of the intervertebral disc (some 5 mm!) Into the vertebral canal. This fragment of the disintegrating disk begins to irritate the nerve fibers and presses on the roots of the spinal nerves. Of course, this leads to acute pain.

Treatment

Exercises with herniated lumbar spine are only part of the treatment. Some doctors prefer conservative methods - exercise therapy with a hernia of the lumbar region, massage , manual therapy, reflexology, etc. Others immediately begin to innovate methods - laser surgery.

But all this is only in the early stages. With a complicated hernia, the patient is expected to have a classical operation to remove the affected disc and insert the implant into the spine.

Exercising gymnastics as a prophylaxis of hernia of the lumbar spine will certainly help you to avoid operations to remove discs.
