Herniated Disc

Question

1. Why most of the time herniated disc occur towards nerve? Why don\'t it it slip towards other side of spine?
2. Can a patient offer prayer especially (Rukoo) in a regular style?
3. Will sleeping on back on firm mattress add value in pain management? or on stomach on regular soft mattress?

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Muhammad Bilal · Answer

1.this is the weakest point in the canal, that's why disc bulges through here
2.depending on your symptoms, you can do various activities.if mild pain, rukoo is fine.
3.good quality spring mattress is good.

Dr. Asadullah · Answer

this is due to spinal joint biomechanics and stress induced. Rukoo is only fine if you can do it, if you can't then dont force it otherwise your spinal lodordic curve could get worse leading to worsening of disc herniation.  sleep on memory foam only so you don't have any gaps between your body and mattress.  your herniation will only get worse overtime if left untreated due to extreme stresses on it
