What are the methods of rehabilitation exercises for lumbar disc herniation

Patients with herniated lumbar discs are recommended to perform appropriate functional exercises for the lumbar back during the symptom relief period. The common methods are as follows: 1. Five-point support. The patient lies flat on the bed, flexes the knees and hips, steps on the bed surface with both elbows flexed backward and the top of the head backward, lifts the hips as high as possible, holds for 3-5 seconds and then puts down. 2.Three-point support. Raise both elbows on the basis of the five-point support, support the body with both feet and the top of the head, lift the hips as high as possible and keep it for 3-5 seconds and then put it down. 3.Small swallow fly. Patient prone position, shoulder back force, head and shoulders lift off the bed at the same time both lower limbs also lift off the bed, with the abdomen a little contact with the bed, hold 3-5 seconds and then put down. These actions can strengthen the muscle strength of the low back, increase the stability of the spine, relieve spinal degeneration, and delay the progress of lumbar disc herniation.
