Slipped disc is unfortunately an irreversible and progressive condition. But with good care and some precautions, nothing can come between the patient and a healthy daily life. Here are five precautions to take:

Avoid Sitting for Long Periods 

Sitting for hours increases pressure on the spine and in turn discs. Stand up and do light stretch every half an hour.

Avoid Lifting Objects That Are Too Heavy 

Again, this increases pressure on the spine and we don’t want that. 

Don’t Bend at Waist While Lifting Things From Floor 

Instead, bend your knees along with waist. This reduces pressure on the spine. 

Avoid Strenuous Exercise 

Exercise is good for spine health but if you have slipped disc, avoid strenuous exercises. 

Turkish Salep

These activities put strain on your lower back and may make the condition worse.
