2. After crawling, you can do a few push-ups to increase the effect. Then lie on your back on the bed with your knees bent. Hold your knees with your hands so that your knees are as close to your chest as possible. Then relax and let them fall naturally. Repeat this movement once, and do 20 to 30 times in a row.

3. After finishing, continue to lie on your back with your knees bent. Use your feet, elbows and head as fulcrums to lift your pelvis. Try to keep your abdomen and knee joints on the same level. Then slowly lower it. Each up and down movement is one movement. Do it 20 to 30 times in a row.

4. The advantage of this crawling method is that it is simple and easy. You only need to take about 10 minutes a day, do it once every night before going to bed, and keep crawling for 2 months.

5. Please note that this method must be practiced during the recovery period after the illness has been basically cured. If obvious discomfort or pain occurs, stop crawling immediately.

Treatment

1. Physical therapy. It is recommended to use several physical therapy methods together to treat lumbar disc herniation, which will have better results. For patients with bulging and mild disc herniation, massage (also called manual reduction) is recommended to use manual bone setting combined with traction, and local hot compress with Chinese medicine. However, traction is not recommended for patients with huge herniation or disc herniation.

2. Drug treatment. Many patients use some anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic drugs to treat lumbar disc herniation, but these drugs have certain side effects on the human body and should not be taken for a long time. In particular, patients with liver, kidney disease, hypertension, and diabetes should pay attention to contraindications to avoid causing new discomfort.

3. Magnetic therapy. Magnetic therapy is a method of treating diseases by applying magnetic fields to the human body. The magnetic field affects the distribution of electric current in the human body, the movement of charged particles, the permeability of the membrane system, etc., causing changes in the physiological and biochemical processes of tissue cells, producing effects such as analgesia, swelling reduction, and promotion of blood and lymph circulation.
