Standing is better than sitting when suffering from a herniated disc. When standing, the lumbar disc is only compressed by 100% of the body’s gravity, which is relatively small. However, when sitting, the pressure on the lumbar intervertebral discs is relatively higher. When sitting, even in a more standardized sitting position, the pressure on the lumbar intervertebral discs is about 150% of the body’s gravity. If the sitting posture is not correct, the pressure on the lumbar intervertebral disc will increase when the body leans forward. In addition, when the lumbar disc herniation acute attack period, sitting and standing are not particularly suitable. It is best to lie strictly flat on a hardboard bed during an acute episode, when the pressure on the lumbar discs is almost zero.
