Sit-ups are usually not recommended for cervical disc herniation. Usually, sit-ups are not recommended for patients with cervical disc herniation, which is usually accompanied by neck muscle strain in addition to disc herniation. In general, sit-ups require holding the head with both hands and bending the head toward the chest, which may aggravate the herniated disc. If a patient with cervical disc herniation does sit-ups, the cervical spine may be bent too much due to improper or excessive exercise, causing dizziness, headache and other discomforts, and in serious cases, it may even cause compression and irritation to the nerve roots and spinal cord. Therefore, sit-ups are not recommended for patients with cervical disc herniation. Patients with cervical disc herniation can rotate their neck appropriately, but it should not be too long and the movement should be slower. Appropriate neck rehabilitation exercises can help enhance the strength of neck and shoulder muscles, thus strengthening the stability of the cervical spine. Patients are advised to seek medical examination and follow the doctor’s instructions for relevant treatment and related exercises.
