Exercises For Low Back Pain And Disc Herniation Relief
Relieve your low back pain and disc herniation with some simple exercises
Exercises and stretches are one of the simplest at home ways you can help enhance your strength and flexibility as well as rejuvenate muscles and other joint structures. Maple Chiropractic Saigon has illustrated some basic stretches that are very good for relieving your low back and neck pain specifically caused by disc herniation.
When you are suffering from low back pain and disc herniation, the best thing to do is to lie down and rest. In recent research, pressure on the disc is at minimum level when in face-up position. This position will reduce the amount of tension both inside and outside of the disc, therefore nerve compression will diminish.
Stretches for low back pain and disc herniation include:
Exercise 1: The chin tuck
Stand (or sit), look straight ahead; pull your shoulder blades together. Tuck your chin as slowly glide your head back over your body. Hold this position for 10 seconds. Repeat 15 times.
Exercise 2: Full ranges of motion
Stand (or sit), keep your back and neck straight. Bring your head forward and touch your chin to your chest then bend your head backward and relax. Next, bend your head from side to side; turn your face to one side, keep the neck, shoulders and trunk straight, repeat for the other side. All the movements must be done slowly in combination with breathing from 5 to 10 minutes.
