Can crawling cure lumbar disc herniation?

Crawling also has a certain effect in treating lumbar disc herniation. This exercise method is best performed during the recovery period after the illness is cured. If you feel discomfort, you should stop immediately. Also, be careful not to exercise too much. Especially for some elderly patients, exercise must be moderate. If you have lumbar disc herniation, you must promptly carry out some physical therapy methods to treat it. Acupuncture, cupping, and massage are all better methods.

Can crawling cure lumbar disc herniation?

1. The specific "crawling method" of crawling is to land on the bed with hands and knees, lift your head naturally, let your waist naturally droop, and crawl forward about 20 meters first.

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.

What are the self-care methods for patients with lumbar disc herniation?

1. First of all, patients with lumbar disc herniation must have a correct sitting posture. Many people get this disease because of incorrect sitting posture. The correct sitting posture should be to keep the upper body straight. Tighten your abdomen. The lower jaw is slightly retracted and the lower limbs are brought together. If possible, place a footstool under your feet so that your knees are slightly higher than your hips, reducing pressure on your lumbar spine.

2. Patients with lumbar disc herniation should not do strenuous exercise when they get up in the morning, because the muscles of the body have not yet been activated when they just get up in the morning. Sudden exercise will cause back pain. There are also some subtle movements that need attention, such as putting one foot on a low table when washing your face, and sitting down when putting on shoes instead of squatting.

3. Going to the toilet: When patients with lumbar disc herniation get up after going to the toilet, they should support themselves on the wall with their hands and then stand up again.

4. Work: Avoid overwork and do not maintain a posture for a long time when studying or working. Maintain a correct posture while working, and occasionally massage your waist and legs, or do some gymnastics to relieve tension in your waist muscles.

5. Sleep on a hard bed. Sleeping on a firm bed can reduce the pressure on the intervertebral discs.

6. Keep your waist warm and try not to catch cold. Wear a waist support belt around your waist during the day to strengthen the protection of your waist and back, and at the same time help the recovery of lumbar spondylosis.

7. Avoid bending over and doing strenuous movements such as mopping the floor. Try to rest in bed during the acute attack period and even after the pain period is relieved. Pay attention to proper rest and avoid overexerting yourself to avoid aggravating the pain.
