Exercise Can Fix a Bulging Disc

When it comes to dealing with a bulging disc, exercise can be your best friend. By engaging in the right exercises, you can relieve the wrong pressure on your spine and promote proper alignment. It’s important to note that not all exercises are effective for this condition, so it’s crucial to choose the ones that specifically target the lower back area.

The Right Exercises for Lower Back Bulging Disc Relief

  1. Decompression: One effective exercise for relieving a bulging disc is decompression. This involves hanging from a pull-up bar or using an inversion table to elongate the spine and reduce the pressure on the affected disc. It’s a simple yet highly effective technique.

  2. Press Up: Another exercise that can work wonders for your bulging disc is the press-up. Begin by lying flat on your stomach and then slowly push your upper body off the ground, using your arms, while keeping your lower body relaxed. This motion helps alleviate pressure on the disc and promotes healing.

  3. Passive Stretches: Gentle stretching exercises that involve forward bends, such as touching your toes while seated or standing, can also help relieve lower back pain caused by a bulging disc. Make sure to perform these stretches in a controlled manner and avoid any sudden movements.

  4. Lateral Shift Correction: This exercise focuses on correcting any lateral shift in your spine caused by the bulging disc. With the help of a physical therapist or healthcare professional, you can learn specialized movements to bring your spine back into proper alignment.

  5. Wall Side Glides: To strengthen the muscles supporting your spine, you can try wall side glides. Stand with your side against a wall, place your hand on the wall at shoulder height, and glide your body up and down the wall while maintaining contact. This exercise helps improve flexibility and stability.

  6. Extension Series: Lastly, an extension series involves lying on your stomach and slowly lifting your upper body off the ground, using your back muscles. This exercise helps strengthen those muscles, providing support and stability to your spine.
