Walking backwards does not cure lumbar disc herniation, but can only exercise the strength of the lumbar back muscles to a certain extent and strengthen the stability of the lumbar spine. Herniated lumbar intervertebral discs require specialized general treatment, medication, physical therapy and surgery. 1. General treatment: In daily life, avoid bending down and other back-exerting postures, and rest sufficiently. During the recovery period, you can carry out mild and moderate exercise under the protection of a belt. Walking backwards can exercise the muscle strength of the lumbar back, stabilize the lumbar vertebrae, reduce the pressure on the lumbar intervertebral discs and alleviate the related symptoms. However, it should be noted that walking backwards may cause the risk of falling or collision. 2. Medication: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen and celecoxib, can be chosen; nutritive nerve drugs, such as methylcobalamin and vitamin B1, etc.; muscle relaxants are also one of the choices, such as tizanidine and eteplirisone. 3. Physical therapy: Physical therapy can also be chosen as an adjunctive treatment, and commonly used physical therapy includes extracorporeal shock wave and grilled electricity and other treatments. 4. Surgery: If conservative treatment is ineffective, surgery can be chosen under the guidance of a doctor. Commonly used surgical programs include endoscopic removal of lumbar intervertebral discs and decompression of the vertebral plate. Suffering from lumbar disc herniation should go to regular hospitals in time to improve the relevant examination, clarify the severity of the disease, follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment, and do not blindly exercise and medication, so as not to delay the condition.
