How to recover from disc bulging?

The intervertebral disc is a component of the spine and a very important bone tissue. The intervertebral disc is prone to fatigue and pathological changes due to the long-term pressure of the human body's weight. Among them, intervertebral disc bulging is a common symptom. It has a great impact on people's lives and can cause patients to lose their ability to work. Let's take a look at the explanation of how to recover from intervertebral disc bulging. I hope you can understand it.

Intervertebral disc bulging is the initial manifestation of intervertebral disc herniation. The annulus fibrosus on the posterior side of the intervertebral disc has degenerated, the nucleus pulposus has moved backwards and the annulus fibrosus has deformed, but the annulus fibrosus has not yet ruptured. At this time, special attention should be paid to posture, reducing the lumbar curvature as much as possible, maintaining correct posture, reducing pressure on the annulus fibrosus, and avoiding annulus fibrosus rupture and nucleus pulposus herniation, which may cause serious consequences. It should be noted that the ruptured annulus fibrosus has no ability to repair itself. Therefore, rehabilitation exercises are very important for patients with lumbar disc herniation. The root cause of lumbar disc herniation is long-term unreasonable posture, so correcting posture is the core and foundation.

1. Bend over : waist rotation exercise. It includes exercises such as bending forward and backward, bending to the left and right sides, and turning the waist left and right, and should be done once in the morning and evening every day. Proceed at a moderate speed and with a little effort, and proceed step by step.

2. Supine back extension exercise : divided into three steps: The first step, the five-point support method, is that the person lies on his back on a flat bed, using the head, elbows and heels to support the whole body, so that the back can be stretched backward as far as possible, and the chest and abdomen can be pushed upward. The second step is the three-point support method, which is to put your arms in front of your chest, support your head and heels on the bed, and stretch your whole body backward in the air. The third step is the arch bridge support method, which is to support yourself on the bed with your hands and feet, with your whole body lifted into the air and your chest and abdomen straightened, like an arch bridge.

3. Hanging method : Use door frames or horizontal bars to do hanging exercises. Take once in the morning and evening every day. Suspension exercise is actually a continued traction therapy, which not only relaxes the waist and other parts of the body, but also enhances local blood circulation and metabolism.

4. Arch your waist. Stand still with your legs together, arch and squeeze your waist and hips forward to the limit, then pull them back. Repeat this 15 times.
