Yoga therapy for lumbar disc herniation

High prevalence of lumbar disc herniation 1, age: lumbar disc herniation occurs in young adults. 2, gender: the incidence of men is higher than that of women, and it is generally believed that the ratio of men to women is 4 to 12:1. 3, body type: people who are generally too obese are prone to lumbar disc herniation. 4, occupation: at present, the incidence of brain workers is also increasing year by year, so that the lumbar disc protrusion is called “civilization disease”. 5, posture: long-term bad posture of the work of the ambulatory personnel and often standing salesman, textile workers, etc. more common. 6, living and working environment: often in a cold or humid environment, to a certain extent, will become a condition that induces lumbar disc herniation. 7, different periods of women: prenatal, postnatal and menopause are the risk periods of lumbar disc herniation in women. 8, special circumstances: congenital lumbar spine dysplasia or deformity, or even coughing can cause increased pressure within the intervertebral disc and the spinal canal, which are also causative factors. One of the good ways to treat lumbar disc herniation —— yoga therapy, using the physical therapy effect of yoga is very effective for the conditioning of the lumbar cervical spine. The intervertebral disc is surrounded by muscles and ligaments that protect the disc. Over time, the muscles and ligaments around the disc become more and more fragile under the action of external forces, and the disc ages and ruptures. A bulging disc is one of the milder forms of disc disease, and even so, it is impossible to get a herniated disc back in place by trying to take medication. The best thing to do is to exercise the muscles and ligaments around the disc, thus allowing the disc to gradually return to its original position. Unfortunately, people often do running, weight lifting, cycling and other fitness exercises, which can only make the limbs strong, while the muscles and ligaments of the back and neck are difficult to get exercise. The locust pose in yoga can stretch the muscles and ligaments around the intervertebral discs in a small way.
