What to expect from a herniated lumbar disc

The precautions for lumbar disc herniation include daily living habits, protection of the lumbar region, and functional exercises.
1. Standardized daily habits: patients with lumbar disc herniation should maintain their daily activities within the tolerable range, but activities that increase the load on the spine, repetitive bending and rotating movements should be avoided as much as possible.
2. Lumbar protection measures: It is recommended that patients wear lumbar protectors when working for a long time with high intensity, or performing work that will increase the load on the spine, and pay attention to regular relaxation. Patients with lumbar disc herniation can improve lumbar function by using a medium-hardness mattress.
3. Functional exercise: patients with lumbar disc herniation can carry out core muscle group training under the guidance of professional rehabilitation physicians to strengthen the stability of the lumbar spine.
Patients with lumbar disc herniation should be actively engaged in related treatment under the guidance of specialized doctors.
