Overcoming a herniated disc through exercise! Early hospital treatment review for a herniated disc

In the spring of over 30 years ago, I was washing a mink blanket and hanging it on the laundry line when I sprained my back, so I visited an orthopedic clinic.

At the hospital, I was told I had an early-stage lumbar disc herniation and a lumbar disc herniation, and I visited the hospital countless times.

I searched for hospitals specializing in general surgery, orthopedics, and neurosurgery and received treatment, but after feeling somewhat better, the condition worsened again over 2, 3, or 4 years. The herniated disc in my lower back did not heal. I was unable to carry out daily activities.

 

Even at a well-known Korean medicine clinic, they said I had a herniated disc and I received many acupuncture treatments.

I chose and visited various hospitals here and there, but my initial lumbar disc herniation did not heal well.

No, a herniated disc in the early stage doesn't heal; rather, it cannot be fully cured.

Since I have a backache, I often go to the jjimjilbang because it's said that you should heat your back in a hot place.

I was told to go to the swimming pool or bathhouse, so I also visited the bathhouse every day.

 

However, it seemed to become a little softer, only to repeat a life of pain again.

The hospital recommended consciously and habitually engaging the lower abdomen while walking.

Someone advised to go hiking.

I started to put into practice the words that think of me.

 

 

Almost every day, I attempted to hike up the neighborhood mountain at my own pace, tightening my lower abdomen muscles.

After one, two, three, and four months passed, I felt that the initial worsening of the herniated disc in my lower back did not continue.

After a year, I realized that the initial stage of my herniated disc had gradually moved away from me without me noticing.

 

 

I feel so healthy now that I wonder if I ever had a herniated disc in my back. I have become accustomed to walking long distances while tightening my lower abdomen.

I walk to work, which takes an hour each way, every morning and evening. On weekends, climbing the local mountain is also part of my routine. To prevent the nightmare of a herniated disc from returning to me, I have been consistently maintaining my health for over 30 years.
