Lumbar disc herniation is a common and frequent disease in orthopedics and a common cause of lower back pain. People often focus on its drug or surgical treatment and neglect rehabilitation exercises. In fact, rehabilitation exercises can adjust the mechanical balance of the spine, enhance the stability of the lumbar spine, significantly improve the patient’s muscle strength and pain symptoms, and achieve the effect of prevention and treatment of lumbar disc herniation. Even after surgery, rehabilitation exercises are needed. Only by adhering to the correct and standardized rehabilitation exercises can we consolidate the efficacy and prevent recurrence. A, lumbar back muscle exercise Strong lumbar back muscles form a strong protection for the spine, help maintain and enhance the stability of the spine, and effectively prevent acute and chronic lumbar injuries and low back pain.

Pause for 5~10 seconds and then lower. Repeat, from 20 times a day to 100 times. Three-point support method: After the strength of the low back is increased, on the basis of five-point support exercise, minus the support of both elbows.

Bend to the left side to the maximum angle (left waist pulling sensation), pause 3 to 5 seconds after restoration, and then bend to the right. 10 times on each side. Lower limb exercises: can prevent sciatic nerve adhesions, improve joint mobility and enhance lower limb muscle strength. 1, stirrup exercises: supine position, bend the hip and knee and ankle, so that the knee joint as close to the chest, the back of the foot hook tight, and then forcefully stirrup out to the oblique upper, stirrup out as far as possible after stretching and tense leg, maintain 5 seconds, and finally put down to restore.
