The best recipes for folk remedies for treating spinal hernia

At the rehabilitation stage, after reducing the size of the intervertebral hernia and achieving stable remission, folk remedies are used in therapy. The use of alcohol tinctures, herbal teas and homemade ointments becomes an excellent prevention of painful relapses. They have a mild analgesic effect, eliminate swelling and stiffness. But treatment of spinal hernias of any location with folk remedies should be agreed with a doctor.

The benefits of folk remedies

In the treatment of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar hernias, external agents are used both for internal use and for external use. They are made from medicinal plants and bee products (honey, propolis, royal jelly).

Bee products are components of folk remedies for spinal hernias.

The composition of ointments and rubs includes essential, cosmetic, vegetable oils, phytoextracts, lanolin, turpentine. All ingredients of folk remedies contain a huge amount of biologically active substances:

• bioflavonoids;
• micro- and macroelements - calcium, potassium, magnesium, molybdenum, sodium, manganese;
• fat- and water-soluble vitamins - B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12, C, E, retinol, tocopherol;
• tannins, resins and bitterness;
• organic acids - citric, cinnamic, malic, succinic, hyaluronic;
• amino acids: threonine, methionine, leucine, lysine;
• esters and essential oils.

When the components are combined, the therapeutic activity of folk remedies increases. Some ingredients directly have a therapeutic effect, while others are necessary to ensure their transdermal absorption.

Remedies made according to traditional medicine recipes are used to prevent the re-formation of hernias. Their use helps maintain intervertebral discs, vertebrae, and ligamentous muscles in good condition. Herbal teas, infusions and decoctions improve metabolic processes, accelerate the elimination of tissue breakdown products and harmful mineral salts from the body. And with the help of ointments and compresses, you can eliminate mild discomfort in the back that occurs after hypothermia or a change in weather.

When can traditional therapy be effective?

In general, intervertebral hernia responds well to treatment in the initial stages of its development. However, it is often discovered quite late, when the patient already feels severe discomfort.

Therefore, it is definitely not worth using only traditional treatment for a vertebral hernia in this case. It is optimal to combine it with medications prescribed by a doctor and other methods of usual therapy.

But it is worth noting that traditional methods have a number of undeniable advantages:

• effectively eliminate the inflammatory process that always develops in destroyed vertebrae;
• relieve pain syndrome;
• restore damaged tissues;
• improve the body's protective capabilities;
• have virtually no negative effects on the body (with the exception of allergies to components of healing recipes);
• unlike medications, folk treatment for spinal hernia does not harm the kidneys, liver and other internal organs;
• Such therapy is indispensable where pharmaceutical drugs are contraindicated for a person for one reason or another.

However, you should not rely only on traditional medicine. You cannot experiment on yourself and self-medicate. The doctor must know what products the patient will use and approve them. Otherwise, the patient may harm himself.

How to use correctly

Treatment of intervertebral hernia with folk remedies must be agreed upon with a neurologist or vertebrologist. Infusions and rubbing are intended only for the relief of rare back discomfort. But they are not able to eliminate the cause of the pathology (usually osteochondrosis). The doctor will analyze the composition of the folk remedy, assess its safety, and calculate daily and single dosages. If the use of an ointment or compress is inappropriate, then he will prescribe more effective analogues.

To ensure that treatment of a hernia with folk remedies does not cause complications and serious consequences, you must adhere to the following rules:

• do not exceed the dosage and duration of the therapeutic course, trying to recover faster;
• do not use ointments, mixtures for compresses and applications if their color, consistency or smell changes, indicating spoilage;
• Do not use folk remedies if you feel unwell, especially with respiratory or intestinal infections.

You should not expect a quick therapeutic effect, as it begins to appear as biologically active substances accumulate in the body. Folk remedies cannot be used in the acute and subacute period, when severe pain occurs in the back. Ointments and compresses with a warming effect are strictly prohibited for use in aseptic inflammation caused by damage to the spinal roots.

What baths are useful for treating the back?

Traditional recipes for spinal hernia include the use of healing baths. Their price is small, but in most cases there is a positive effect.

There are such common recipes:

1. Hay dust. It helps eliminate the inflammatory process and pain. In addition, the bath removes salt deposits from the body and accelerates metabolic processes. To prepare it you will need 3 liters of boiling water and 1 kg of raw materials. It will take 1 hour to infuse the liquid. Next, the broth is poured into bath water. In this case, you need to monitor the water temperature - it should not exceed 40 degrees.
2. Lavender herb. You can purchase raw materials at the pharmacy. The procedure requires a whole pack of herbs and 1 liter of boiling water. The liquid is infused for at least 2 hours. Next, it is added to the bath. The duration of this procedure is 30 minutes.
3. Pine. To prepare a bath you need tree branches and its cones. The essential oils they contain will eliminate the inflammation process. Such procedures will be most effective in the spring. The resulting raw material is poured with cold water and brought to a boil over low heat. After this, the pine is cooked for another half hour. Next, the liquid is wrapped in a warm blanket and left for 12 hours. The patient needs to take a bath before going to bed. The duration of the procedure is 20 minutes. For additional effect, you need to add pine essential oil to the water.

Traditional medicine for the treatment of spinal hernia is not a panacea, but it can help significantly if the recipes are prepared and applied correctly. For example, baths should be done regularly. Usually the course is 10 - 12 procedures. Then a break is taken for 3-4 weeks and repeated.

After such procedures it is good to have a massage. This will enhance the relaxing and analgesic effects, relieve muscle spasms, and improve spinal mobility. However, for some types of hernia it is contraindicated, so it is better to consult your doctor first.

A relaxing massage performed professionally by a specialist or a carefully loved one can enhance the impact of healing water procedures.

Folk remedies for the treatment of hernia

Folk remedies used in the treatment of intervertebral hernias are conventionally divided into two types. Some are intended to prevent the enlargement of an already formed protrusion. They stimulate blood circulation in the area of ​​damaged discs, improve the condition of ligaments, muscles, blood vessels, cartilage and bone tissue. Others help get rid of nagging, aching pain of mild severity in the cervical, thoracic or lumbosacral spine. Such drugs are used only in consultation with a doctor; they can reduce the pharmacological load on the body by reducing the doses of systemic drugs.

Marsh cinquefoil

The medicinal properties of this perennial plant are due to the presence in the chemical composition of a high concentration of essential oils, carotene, flavonoids, organic and phenolcarboxylic acids. In folk medicine, rhizomes and aerial parts - stems and leaves - are used. For vertebral hernia therapy to be successful, it is better to purchase herbal raw materials in pharmacies, where their quality is strictly controlled.

The most popular in the treatment of all pathologies of the musculoskeletal system is alcohol tincture. It can be purchased in pharmacies in bottles of 50 and 100 ml or prepared at home according to the following recipe:

• pour 50 g of crushed dry cinquefoil rhizomes into a dark glass container;
• pour in 2 glasses of vodka without additives or 96% ethyl alcohol diluted with an equal volume of purified (distilled) water;
• leave for 4-6 weeks in a dark place, shaking daily for better extraction of biologically active substances.

The tincture is taken 1 teaspoon 3 times a day after meals, diluted in 100 ml (half a glass) of water. At the same time, it is rubbed into the area where the hernial protrusion is located.

Using alcohol tincture is not always possible. It is prohibited for people who drive a car or suffer from severe pathologies of the liver and kidneys. In such cases, tea is used for treatment. Pour a glass of boiling water over a teaspoon of dry herb, leave for an hour, filter and take 50 ml after meals 3 times a day.

Honey

Honey is included in many folk remedies. Its most useful use is to strengthen the body's defenses and accelerate the recovery of damaged vertebral structures. Honey is a valuable source of bioactive chemical compounds, including trace elements necessary for the regeneration of cartilage and bone tissue. To eliminate nutritional deficiencies, it is enough to eat a teaspoon of this beekeeping product 2-3 times a day. In the treatment of vertebral hernias, compresses with honey are also used, which have a local irritating and warming effect:

• mix 2-3 tablespoons of liquid honey with a couple of drops of pine essential oil, add a teaspoon of starch in parts;
• add 5 drops of gum turpentine and a tablespoon of pharmaceutical aloe juice to 50 g of honey;
• a fresh leaf of burdock or cabbage is kneaded well and smeared with thick honey.

The compress is applied to the site of displacement of the intervertebral discs. A plastic film is placed on top and secured with gauze or an elastic bandage. The leaves with honey are left on the back until completely dry, and the mixtures for compresses are kept for 1-2 hours.

Mumiyo

This is a product consisting of mineral and organic impurities, which is used in official and traditional medicine. Pharmacies sell several dosage forms of mumiyo - tablets that do not have any taste, ointments, creams, balms. But the most in demand is a thick brown or black resin with a very specific aroma of oil and fir trees.

In the treatment of hernia, tablets that exhibit reparative activity by accelerating metabolism are more often used. The optimal daily dose is 0.2 g. The duration of administration is determined by the attending physician, taking into account the type, shape, size of the hernial protrusion and the stage of osteochondrosis. In folk medicine, ointments are also used, which can be prepared according to the following recipes:

• mix 50 g of Vaseline and baby cream in a mortar, add a bag of mumiyo (2 g) and 3 drops of juniper essential oil;
• In 100 g of medical Vaseline slightly heated in a water bath, add 2 bags of mumiyo, a couple of drops of oil solutions of vitamins A and E, grind until homogeneous.

The ointments are evenly distributed at the site of hernia formation and rubbed in with light massaging movements up to 3 times a day. Store such products in a cool place where direct sunlight cannot penetrate.

Propolis

Bees produce this viscous, quickly drying, greenish-brown substance from the gluten of tree buds. They need it to seal cracks and disinfect honeycomb cells. Propolis has pronounced antiseptic properties, so its external use for vertebral hernias is inappropriate. The weak analgesic effect of the tincture is due only to the warming effect of ethyl alcohol. Traditional healers recommend a course of taking milk with propolis:

• a pinch of propolis is diluted in a glass of hot milk;
• simmer over low heat for 3-5 minutes;
• drink 0.3 glasses after meals three times a day.

Drinking warm milk with propolis has a beneficial effect on blood circulation, microcirculation, and regenerative processes. This becomes an excellent prevention of infections, which often provoke painful relapses of the hernia.

Juniper

In the treatment of intervertebral disc displacement, the fruits (cones) of this perennial plant from the Cypress genus are usually used. They contain valuable essential oil that can stop inflammatory processes when used internally and externally. A decoction of juniper fruits is prepared according to the following recipe:

• Place 4-5 berries in a small saucepan, pour in 2 cups of hot water;
• bring to a boil, simmer for 10 minutes under the lid;
• remove the pan from the heat and leave until completely cooled;
• filter, take 2 tablespoons 2 times a day after meals.

You can improve blood circulation in the area of ​​hernial protrusion with the help of tincture. 20-25 dry berries are poured with a liter of vodka and left in a dark place for a month. Rub into the back when discomfort occurs.

Horse fat

Horse fat contains beneficial fat-soluble vitamins and fatty acids. But it is not advisable to use it in its pure form for intervertebral hernia, except to improve the condition of dry skin. Bioactive substances do not penetrate the skin into pathological lesions and do not have a regenerating effect. Melted horse fat is used in the preparation of folk remedies only as an ointment base:

• mix 50 g of fat with 2 tablespoons of honey, 30 g of butter, a teaspoon of gum turpentine;
• add 2 drops of essential oils of thyme, fir, pine, eucalyptus, and a teaspoon of cosmetic almond oil to 100 g of fat.

After applying ointments to the area of ​​disc displacement, the receptors located in the subcutaneous tissue are irritated, distracting the person from back discomfort. Horse fat can be replaced with badger, goose, and bear fat without losing the quality of folk remedies.

Kalanchoe

This perennial plant from the genus of succulents is grown on an industrial scale to obtain juice used to treat many pathologies, including the musculoskeletal system. It contains organic acids and enzymes - natural catalysts of metabolic processes. This determines the immunomodulatory, adaptogenic and antihistamine properties of Kalanchoe juice. It is used during the rehabilitation stage after surgical removal of a hernia to quickly heal scars. A sterile napkin is moistened in the juice and applied to the skin until completely dry.

An ointment is also prepared from Kalanchoe, which has an analgesic and warming effect. Squeeze a tablespoon of juice from a large leaf, mix it with the same volume of lanolin, and heat it in a saucepan, avoiding boiling. Add a teaspoon of alcohol tincture of red capsicum and 100 g of medical Vaseline. Stir until smooth, place in a dark glass container with a lid, and store in the refrigerator. Rub into the back when mild pain occurs.

St. John's wort rub

The therapeutic effect of all dosage forms with St. John's wort is due to the high concentration in plant raw materials of essential oils, beta-sitosterol, triterpene saponins, vitamins C, E, and bioflavonoids. In official medicine, the herb of the plant is used to prepare decoctions and infusions with a calming effect. And traditional healers recommend preparing an alcohol tincture from St. John’s wort, which helps relieve back discomfort in cases of vertebral hernia:

• 50 g of dry, crushed St. John's wort herb is placed in a ceramic or glass container;
• pour in a liter of vodka or diluted alcohol, leave in a dark place for 1-2 months;
• rub into the area of ​​disc displacement 2-3 times a day.

The alcohol tincture is taken orally, 0.5 teaspoon diluted in 100 ml of water. It has a mild sedative effect, calms, normalizes sleep, which is very important for vertebral hernias. The clinical picture of the pathology often includes neuroses, insomnia, psycho-emotional instability and even depressive states.

Rose hip infusion

These fruits with a high content of ascorbic acid and organic acids are indicated for patients with any pathology of the spinal column. The course of a hernia is often complicated by neurological disorders associated with innervation disorders. And when the discs in the cervical region are displaced, the vertebral artery is compressed, causing oxygen starvation of the brain. Such hernia complications negatively affect the general health of the patient. Drinking an infusion of rose hips helps restore nutrient reserves and normalize metabolic processes. How to prepare it:

• pour a handful of dry berries into a thermos and pour a liter of boiling water;
• leave for 3-4 hours, cool, filter.

Take a glass of vitamin infusion 3 times a day. You can drink it without cooling, instead of tea, with a bite of honey. An infusion of rose hips is also used to cleanse the body, remove waste, toxins, and products of the inflammatory process.

Despite the many beneficial properties, the drink has a wide list of contraindications, including pregnancy, lactation, and erosive pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract.

Garlic compress

This method of treating intervertebral hernia is not suitable for all patients. Compresses with garlic tincture are prohibited for people with pathologies of the cardiovascular system, liver, kidneys, and pregnant and breastfeeding women. And for those with dry and sensitive skin, even when applying a water infusion of garlic, a chemical burn may occur. Therefore, before using a folk remedy, it is necessary to conduct a test - apply a drop of the product to your wrist or elbow and rub in lightly. If within an hour the skin does not turn red or swell, then treatment can begin. Prepare garlic tincture according to the following recipe:

• 100 g of whole or crushed peeled garlic cloves are placed in a dish made of non-oxidizing material;
• pour in 2 glasses of vodka, leave in a dark place for 4-5 weeks, shaking the container periodically.

There is no need to strain the tincture, but simply take the required amount from the jar and rub in when painful sensations appear. Often, a mixture of bioactive substances of garlic and ethyl alcohol causes dry skin. In such cases, traditional healers recommend preparing the tincture not with vodka, but with olive or flaxseed vegetable oil.

Comfrey officinalis

This perennial plant is used to treat almost all diseases of the spine, clinically manifested by pain during movement and at rest, aseptic inflammatory swelling. Flavonoids contained in comfrey roots stimulate blood circulation, normalize microcirculation, preventing further destruction of intervertebral discs and enlargement of hernial protrusion. It is advisable to use folk remedies with medicinal plants not only for therapy, but also for the prevention of pathology.

Medical clay

Pharmacies sell red, blue, green, white, and black cosmetic clay. Its color is determined by the microelements it contains. For example, blue clay contains more copper, and red clay contains more iron. Any type is suitable for the treatment of intervertebral hernia, since trace elements are still not able to penetrate into the affected vertebral segments. Clay is used as a heat source and base for preparing a mixture used for applications. How the treatment procedure is carried out:

• 50 g of dry clay (half a standard pack) is poured into a wide bowl, mineral water is carefully poured in so that a thick paste is obtained;
• mix in a teaspoon of cosmetic (!) almond and peach oils, add a tablespoon of honey and a couple of drops of neroli essential oil;
• heated in a water bath to a temperature of 40 °C, apply several layers with a wide brush or wooden spatula, without waiting for the previous one to dry.

The duration of the treatment procedure is 1 hour. If discomfort occurs, the mixture should be washed off the skin with warm water and a nourishing cream should be applied.

Brick

On the Internet there are often recommendations for treating intervertebral hernia with crushed bricks or old red tiles. They are mixed with beaten egg whites, white wine and tree resin until a homogeneous mixture is formed. The resulting paste is applied to the protrusion area daily to completely eliminate painful symptoms.

Representatives of official medicine are very skeptical about this method of treating disc displacement. The mixture does not contain a single ingredient that has anti-inflammatory or analgesic effects.

Horseradish compress

The chemical composition of this vegetable crop contains a lot of pungent essential oil. Upon contact with the skin, it irritates sensitive nerve endings, causing a rush of blood. It is this effect that explains the pronounced distracting and analgesic effect of horseradish. It is used in the treatment of displacement of intervertebral discs of any location as compresses:

• a couple of large horseradish leaves are crushed to a paste, a tablespoon of honey is added and applied to the place where the pain is felt most strongly;
• A fresh leaf of horseradish is ground well until drops of juice appear, generously greased with olive oil, and applied to the back.

A plastic film or thick fabric is placed on top of the compress and secured with an elastic or gauze bandage. The duration of the procedure is 2 hours.

Soothing teas

In addition to St. John's wort infusion, teas from other medicinal plants are used to improve the psychological state of patients. These are oregano, lemon balm, thyme, motherwort, valerian. Drinking tea helps eliminate neuroses, increased anxiety, and psycho-emotional instability. Infusions with a sedative effect help you fall asleep quickly and feel alert and rested in the morning.

To prepare tea, pour a teaspoon of dry plant material into a glass of boiling water, leave for 1 hour, and filter. Take 50 ml 2-3 times a day after meals. It should be borne in mind that the use of infusions leads to a decrease in blood pressure, deterioration of attention, and decreased concentration.

Treatment with rubbing liquids

There are various folk recipes for hernia of the spine for external use.

The most common of them are products for rubbing the affected area.

Folk remedies are sometimes quite effective in the fight against a hernia - remove congestion, reduce pain and swelling in the affected area, improve trophism and blood circulation of tissues, but before using them, consultation with a doctor is required.

It should be remembered that allergic reactions to one or another component of home remedies often occur. Therefore, before using them, it is necessary to conduct a special sensitivity test: apply the healing solution to the wrist area and wait 30-40 minutes; if there is no severe redness and swelling of the tissues, no rash or itching has appeared, then the medicine can be used.

Hirudotherapy

Treatment with medicinal leeches is carried out to eliminate inflammatory swelling and pain, and relax spasmodic skeletal muscles. The saliva of these annelids contains a huge amount of biologically active substances. After penetration into the systemic bloodstream, they accelerate metabolic processes and promote the restoration of damaged connective tissue structures. Each of these chemical compounds has its own medicinal properties - anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-exudative, antiseptic, antimicrobial.

Clinical manifestations

The main danger of an intervertebral hernia is paralysis of the patient. Other complications include: dysfunction of the pelvic organs, weakness in the legs, loss of sensitivity in certain areas of the body, etc.

The following clinical manifestations are possible:

• local pain syndrome in the projection of the affected disc
• pain can spread (radiate) to the buttock, along the posterior, posterior surface of the thigh and lower leg on the affected side (ischalgia)
• there may be a feeling of numbness and/or tingling in the area of ​​innervation of the affected roots
• weakness and/or sensory impairment in both or one lower extremity
• dysfunction of the pelvic organs - urination, defecation and potency
• clinical manifestations of degenerative changes in the cervical spine
• if the cervical spine is affected, the pain may radiate to the shoulder or arm, numbness of the hand or fingers
• dizziness, high blood pressure

Spinal traction

In hospital settings, dry or underwater traction of the spine is performed to increase the distance between the vertebral bodies. In this way, compression of the spinal roots, blood vessels, and soft tissues by displaced discs is eliminated. For traction at home, a regular hang on a horizontal bar or crossbar located in the apartment is suitable.

The painful symptoms of a hernia can be eliminated by performing stretching exercises, which were selected by a physical therapy doctor. During classes, patients are recommended to use the Evminov board or other devices.

Massage and manual therapy

To strengthen the muscular frame of the back and improve the blood supply to cartilaginous tissues with nutrients, 5-10 sessions of massage procedures are performed. They allow you to stabilize the spinal segments and prevent further displacement of the discs. In the treatment of hernias, classical, acupuncture, vacuum, and segmental types of massage are used.

A chiropractor is a specialist with a medical education who, using mechanical force with his hands, reduces the size of the protrusion. It eliminates muscle spasms that occur in response to pinched spinal roots and limit mobility in the affected area.

Unusual but effective recipes

Treatment with folk remedies for intervertebral hernias is also carried out using completely unusual methods:

1. Copper. Ions of this metal quickly penetrate through the skin deep into the tissue. In this case, a positive effect is produced on the entire body, and not just on the affected area. It is enough to apply a copper coin to the area of ​​the hernia every day. In the case of vertebral “protrusion”, such therapy has an analgesic and decongestant effect.
2. Red clay. Since this product is sold in powder form, it will additionally have to be mixed with water. Moreover, the consistency of this mass should be such that it can be rolled into a ball. Next, it needs to be wrapped in gauze and heated to a temperature of 37 degrees, and then applied to the back in the area where the protrusion appears. Additionally, the compress is covered with polyethylene. As soon as the clay dries, it needs to be washed off, and the patient should have a light massage using a special product based on vegetable oil and comfrey root (possible before the manipulations), as well as fir ether and mumiyo (after the procedure). Course of 10 procedures every other day. Repeat in a month. We have a regenerating, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.
3. Red brick or tile. Oddly enough, such products can significantly help in the treatment of hernia. To prepare the healing mixture, you will need to crush the brick into powder. Next, mix 1 tbsp. l. the resulting product, half a glass of white wine and egg white. Also add 1 tsp to the mixture. tree resin. After thoroughly mixing the components, the medicine is used as a compress, which is placed on the affected area once a day.

Copper coins will help relieve discomfort and swelling in back diseases.

Red clay can alleviate the condition of a patient with arthritis and arthrosis.

It's hard to believe, but ordinary red brick can be used to treat your back, but the secret is simple: the powder from it has a similar structure to red clay and is saturated with useful minerals.

Diet

Changing your diet will normalize metabolism and accelerate the regeneration of tissues affected by pathology. Doctors recommend including more fresh vegetables, fruits, berries, lean and fatty fish. You should limit or completely avoid smoked foods, fast food, and baked goods. Every day you need to drink at least 2 liters of liquid - clean water, lightly salted mineral waters (Narzan, Borjomi, Slavyanovskaya, Essentuki No. 2, Smirnovskaya), unsweetened dried fruit compotes, vegetable juices, berry fruit drinks.

Herbal tincture of 5 components

Treatment with folk remedies related to herbal tinctures. To get rid of a herniated disc, collect the following dried ingredients (100 grams each):

• strawberries (leaves and flowers);
• Birch buds;
• St. John's wort (herb);
• immortelle (flowers);
• chamomile (flowers).

Mix all this and pour 2 liters of cold boiled water. Leave to infuse for two weeks, then take three times a day before meals until you have enough funds. Cook more if necessary.

Contraindications

Before starting treatment, you need to familiarize yourself with the contraindications and possible side effects of the ingredients in the folk remedy. This is especially true for patients predisposed to the development of local or systemic allergic reactions. Treatment should be stopped if side effects occur from any vital system - digestive disorders, increased heart rate, surges in blood pressure, headaches, dizziness.

It is strictly forbidden to use plants that are not included in official pharmacognosy reference books.

Features of hernia therapy with bee stings

In general, the treatment of vertebral hernias using the traditional method of apitherapy is now quite common. Its action is similar to acupuncture.

The instructions for using the technique say that insects must “bite” at a strictly defined point. Bee venom is a great warming agent and fights muscle spasms that cause hernial protrusion.

Apitherapy also produces a good analgesic effect. The patient is able to move and work normally. Naturally, for this you need to follow other recommendations of doctors. Bee venom can reduce the intensity of the inflammatory process.

In addition, metabolic processes in the patient’s body improve, blood circulation increases, and tissue regeneration “turns on.” But with such an effect, you need to pay attention to the body’s susceptibility to bee products, and if the patient has ever had an allergy to them, then this method of treatment should not be used. Otherwise, you can get an unpredictably strong allergic reaction, even anaphylactic shock.

Prevention of intervertebral hernia

In most cases, an intervertebral hernia is formed as a result of improper loads on one of the spinal columns. Therefore, prevention of intervertebral disc displacement lies in the proper functioning of the entire spinal column. It is necessary to give up a sedentary lifestyle, excessive physical activity, and do gymnastics daily to strengthen the muscles, joints and spine. You should avoid incorrect position of the spine and take breaks during work for a short warm-up.
