Can lumbar protrusion be cured with exercise

Lumbar herniation, i.e. lumbar disc herniation, cannot be cured by exercise alone. The cause of lumbar disc herniation is a syndrome caused by the degeneration of the lumbar disc, along with the partial or complete rupture of the annulus fibrosus, and the protrusion of the nucleus pulposus to irritate or compress the nerve root and cauda equina. It is an irreversible disease. The main manifestations are low back pain, sciatica, lower limb numbness and cauda equina syndrome. Lumbar disc herniation in the acute stage should avoid sedentary, bending and other actions, to bed rest. During the recovery period, you can use the five-point support method, swallow-flying style, backward walking and other ways to exercise. Train the lumbar back muscles to achieve the purpose of relieving symptoms. The use of exercise for lumbar disc herniation can only relieve symptoms and assist in treating the disease. Commonly used clinical treatments include medication, such as the painkiller ibuprofen and the muscle relaxant chlorzoxazone. When the symptoms are severe, surgery can be considered to remove the herniated disc in order to eliminate the compression symptoms. Patients with lumbar protrusion are advised to seek timely medical treatment, carry out treatment and rehabilitation exercises under the guidance of the doctor, and take medication in strict compliance with the doctor’s prescription.
