Best guidelines to heal a herniated disc quickly for the best result

Bodyweight

If you are overweight or obese, please work on your weight from this moment, because it has the most significant impact on your spine.
Avoid lifting any extra weight to your body weight, especially if you have a recent lumbar disc herniation, even you assume that weight is straightforward.

If you have a sedentary lifestyle, then you should change it because that makes your body and your muscles to adapt with limitation of movement, and that will result in the time to muscle spasm.
If it is necessary for your occupation to sit for long periods, you can divide that time and take breaks every maximum of 30 minutes.
Don’t use the car to go to a place near your house or work, and walk each time you can.
For women who wear high heeled shoes, please stop that and start to wear flat or low heeled shoes.
If you have to share in an important meeting or event before that, make sure you get excellent safe aerobic exercises and stretches for a long enough to boost your muscles. Then your body can tolerate being steady in one place for a long time.
If you are playing any sport regularly or are a sports professional, you have to stop that temporarily until you get the symptoms to subside.
If you are a smoker or drink alcohol, stop that or decrease as much as you can.
