Is it possible to do planks after a disc diagnosis?

I have been consistently managing my condition since recently being diagnosed with a herniated disc after experiencing back pain.
Initially, it was so severe that daily life was impossible due to intense pain, but it has improved significantly with consistent physical therapy and exercise.
Recently, I have been considering starting plank exercises to improve my physical strength and strengthen my core muscles. However, as someone with a herniated disc, I am worried about whether doing planks is safe for me. I found online that planks are effective in strengthening core muscles and also help alleviate back pain.
However, I also heard that doing planks with incorrect posture can actually put strain on the lower back. It is said that people with disc issues need to be especially careful. I am also worried that attempting a plank in my condition might worsen my symptoms.
My goal is to recover my back health and improve my overall fitness. I'm wondering whether planks will help me or if I should look for alternative exercises.
Please give me some advice.

    어디해보자
    저도 둘째낳고나서..  7개월차에 애기를 안기는 커녕 앉지도 서지도 못한 아픈상황에 병원에 갔더니 역시나 디스크로.. 그 애기가 벌써 고1이라 17년차 허리디스크 환자네요.. 깨개갱님께서는 치료받는거로 많이 호전되셨나봐요 다행이네요. 전.. 약치료도 병원서 하는 운동치료도 효과를 못봐서 그냥 물리치료하고.. 만보걷고 계단오르며..  더 심해지지만않게 운등하면서 조심중이네요. 플랭크가 디스크환자기때문에 더 권해주시던데.. 전.. 매일만보말고는 운동린이라;;;; 1분 버티기가 너무너무 힘들어요ㅜ 그래도.. 40~1분은 꾸준히 하려고 노력중이네요. 몇번해보시면 통증오기전까지로 내몸에 맞는 초 로 하심 될꺼같아요. 저도 바른 자세때문에 수백번 보면서 확인하고 했었네요ㅎ 깨개갱님 파이팅입니다~^^
