Rehabilitation training for lumbar disc herniation mainly includes early braking, lumbar protection, and functional exercises.
1. Early braking: after lumbar spine surgery, patients need to follow the medical advice to lie in a hard bed for about 3 months. Keep the shoulders and hips in one plane when turning over, and the lumbar region should not be twisted.
2. Protect the lumbar region: patients should wear a waist cuff when they get out of bed, the lumbar region should not be flexed forward, and they should avoid standing or sitting for a long time and heavy labor to reduce the burden on the lumbar vertebrae.
3. Functional exercise: during the initial period of surgery, straight leg raising and flying swallow exercise can be used for functional exercise. When you can get out of bed, you should wear a good protective gear first, and walk and other exercises. Until you can walk normally.
Rehabilitation training after lumbar intervertebral disc herniation should be carried out under the guidance of the doctor to avoid improper operation on your own which may cause injury to the organism.
