2. Lie on your stomach, connecting the heels. We slowly raise the upper part of the body upward, resting on our hands, we throw our head back. If you have a cervical intervertebral hernia, treating it with this exercise will go much faster.
3. The starting position is the same as in the previous exercises, arms extended forward. Slowly tear the hips off the floor, then raise the head, arms and upper body; try to bend as much as possible. For the lower spine, this pose works very well.
4. We kneel, hips parallel to the floor surface. Then we bend forward and put our head and hands on the floor. Linger in this position, feel the stretching of your spine and muscles.
5. Lie down on your back, arms along the body. Legs (straight) are slowly raised and thrown back over the head. The pose is fixed for several seconds, after which you need to return to its original position.

Prevention
How long will the intervertebral hernia be treated without surgery, time will tell. Who knows, perhaps all of the above methods will not work, and therefore you will have to resort to surgical care.
But even after surgery, the disease can return. Therefore, preventive measures are important to help maintain proper spinal health. The following tips will help you with this:
1. The bed should be tight, but comfortable. Now special orthopedic mattresses are on sale, they will help solve this problem.
2. It is necessary to monitor your posture not only for children, but also for all adults. If you can’t help but slouch, pick up a posture corset at the pharmacy to help you build the habit of keeping your back level.
3. If you have to lift something heavy, do not bend over, you must first sit down and then “take the weight”. Well, it’s best to refuse to lift heavy things at all.
4. Do not sit for long in one position, take breaks, get up, warm up.
5. Sports should be moderate, no need to overexert. For example, instead of running, it is better to give preference to walking.

With intervertebral hernia, severe back pain can occur. To ease the torment and slow down the inflammatory process, you can use drugs such as Paracetamol, Acetaminophen, Tilenol, Aspirin, Ibuprofen - all these medicines can be bought at any pharmacy, even without a medical prescription.
