Sleeping
- Use the best suitable mattress or bed that keeps your back in the ideal position, and your muscles relaxed during sleeping.
- For the herniated disc in the neck, you should use the best suitable pillow for more relaxation and with the lowest impact on the disc during sleeping.
Your body enhancers
- Start to play swimming because it’s like magic, and it teaches not just your back and neck muscles but the muscles of the whole body to get the maximum relaxation.
- As much as you can, and as your symptoms are giving you a chance, start to walk at least 30 minutes twice a day, especially in the morning.
- Drink water as much as your body demand but not excessively to help your joints and spine to gain flexibility.
- Look for what you eat every day because what you eat will be reflected in your body and health. For example, if you eat something containing a large quantity of salt, your body will retain the water, which will increase your body weight, and that results in more load on your herniated disc.
