Mastering L5 Disc Herniation: Daily Spine Hygiene and Long-Term Conditioning

Mastering L5 Disc Herniation: Daily Spine Hygiene and Long-Term Conditioning

In this episode, Ben James and Jacob Steyn take a comprehensive look at managing L5 disc herniation with a focus on the critical role of consistent exercise and daily spine hygiene. They explain why disc herniation management should focus on overall disc health, regardless of whether it's at the L4-L5 or L5-S1 level. Ben and Jacob emphasise the importance of taking regular movement breaks throughout the day to reduce disc pressure and accelerate healing—an essential practice for desk-bound patients or those with physically demanding jobs. They offer actionable tips like setting alarms or using apps to remind patients to move and stretch, helping to establish a routine that becomes second nature.

The duo also stresses the importance of continuing spinal exercises long after pain subsides to prevent re-injury and avoid the cycle of flare-ups. They highlight the need to build a "buffer" through long-term conditioning, helping patients stay ahead of pain rather than chasing quick fixes. Whether you're recovering from a disc herniation or want to prevent one, this episode is packed with practical insights for lasting disc health.
