Prophylaxis | Therapy of a slipped disc of the lumbar spine

Prophylaxis

To prevent a slipped disc in the lumbar spine, strengthening the back muscles is particularly important. Sport improves the stability of the spine, which leads to an overall relief of the spine. Sports such as swimming, cycling, horseback riding, running and dancing are particularly suitable for those who want to train in a way that is easy on the back.

Heavy objects should always be lifted in a back-friendly way, i.e. not from the back but from the legs. In everyday life and especially at work, a good posture should be observed. For office work, ergonomic seating is a good way to adopt a posture that is easy on the back.
