What are Herniated Disc Exercises?
Exercises prescribed for painful disc conditions are typically designed to work the core and postural muscles of the body. These muscles are very strong, but many care providers think that strengthening them more will help relieve the pain of a herniated disc. This theory makes little anatomical sense, yet exercise has still proven itself very useful for many patients. Exercises will not rebuild a degenerated disc or repair a disc herniation. So why do so many affected patients enjoy some measure of relief from targeted physical activity?
