Lumbar disc herniation is mostly caused by long-term unreasonable posture. The initial manifestation is just an incorrect posture, a hunched back, and excessive local stress. Over time, it will cause chronic damage to the soft tissue, resulting in chronic low back pain such as lumbar muscle strain, so it is also called postural low back pain, and lumbar disc herniation is based on this. The result of further accumulation above. Therefore, correcting posture is the key, and reasonable posture is the basis and premise of rehabilitation exercise. Otherwise, if the cause of the disease is not solved, the disease will only recur and become a vicious cycle, becoming more and more serious.
As a conservative treatment method for lumbar disc herniation, it is currently recognized that the most effective method is backward walking. Its fundamental is that as a reverse movement, it can effectively force the body's center of gravity to move backward, reduce lumbar lordosis, and thereby correct posture. (If you have time, you can try walking backwards. When walking backwards, be sure to wear flat shoes and walk slowly with small steps. Choose safety. area for walking backwards). When walking backwards, it can force the body's center of gravity to move backward and correct the excessive curvature of the spine. However, walking backwards is not easy to maintain and is not safe.
You can also force the center of gravity to move backward when standing. Stand barefoot or wearing flat shoes, and step on a book about 20 mm thick on the soles of your front feet. In this way, your feet are in a state of high front and low back. It can also force the center of gravity to move backward. You can experience it. The longer the experience, the better.
If you feel that the symptoms are relieved, in order to make it easier to persist, you can consider choosing patented negative-heeled shoes with soles that are high in the front and low in the back. The principle is the same as walking backwards. Persistent use in daily life is equivalent to extending the posture correction of forced center of gravity back into daily life. It can be used as an alternative to walking backwards, and is safer, more conducive to consolidating the effect, and is consistent with existing treatment and rehabilitation methods. It is not contradictory, but also has the function of supplementing, strengthening and consolidating, and is beneficial and harmless. Correcting posture requires correcting the center of gravity. Heel-bearing shoes are the simplest method, because shoes are the "foundation" of the human body and directly affect the position of the human body's center of gravity. High heels can cause and aggravate low back pain because they cause the center of gravity to shift forward. So high-heeled shoes that are high in the front and low in the back will inevitably force the body's center of gravity to shift backward. The rehabilitation effect of correcting posture is easy to understand.
