First, the answer is what you like, yes. But remember my nine-word policy: “Be active, be frugal, and don’t try to be a hero”. A herniated disc is a disease with a good prognosis, so don’t worry too much about it. When the symptoms are not heavy, scientific and appropriate running can enhance the strength of the lumbar back muscles, which is a favorable factor to prevent re-protrusion and degeneration. To note a few points 1, the acute period is not recommended to run, lumbar disc herniation in the acute phase, the nerve is physically compressed + chemical stimulation, pain and numbness, this stage of running stimulation, the nerve root of the micro-motion friction will aggravate edema, aggravate the symptoms, so in the acute phase of the attack is not recommended to run, to take a good rest. 2, running before the preparatory exercise is not recommended too much bending, leg pressure action. 3, to practice walking first, then run. 4, to first accumulate running volume, and then gradually increase the distance. That is to say, let the muscles grow first, and then the amount of exercise and then grow. The distance cannot be extended indefinitely. Running comfortable is more appropriate, it is not recommended to blindly increase the distance and speed of running. 5, running precautions, lumbar disc herniation patients running should choose a thicker, softer shoes, in order to effectively relieve the impact of the feet on the ground, to slow the shock of the lumbar intervertebral disc. You can’t be brave when you are uncomfortable with your back during running. 6.When can I run after lumbar disc herniation surgery? It should be divided into minimally invasive and open surgery. Generally speaking, 3 months after minimally invasive intervertebral foraminoscopic surgery, it is appropriate to start practicing running gradually. After open fixed fusion surgery, it is appropriate to start practicing gradually in six months. Ask your treating doctor for details.
