A herniated disk refers to a disease in which muscles and ligaments that support the spine cannot withstand due to incorrect posture and excessive exercise, and the disk that absorbs shock between bones protrudes to the outside and compresses nerves.
Excessive abdominal fat causes the center of gravity to lean forward. As a result, the spine uses more force to center the body, which affects the disk, which can be a red flag for waist disk patients to protect their back health.
Moon Sung-hwan, director of Incheon Nanuri Hospital's Spine Center, said "Overweight has a bad effect on back health. In particular, middle-aged people who do not lose weight should manage their weight well. However, rather than dieting properly, most people exercise excessively or diet that is not suitable for their condition, so they often come back to the hospital after worsening their back health.
There are patients who visit the gym to diet and strengthen their back muscles. However, if you are a patient with a herniated disc, it is recommended to refrain from exercising using weight at the gym or exercise with the help of an expert so that your back does not strain.
Director Moon Sung-hwan said "Many of the patients who started working out to diet or strengthen their back muscles visit the doctor's office again. This is because back pain worsened due to back injuries or excessive exercise while not knowing how to use the instrument"If you exercise to strengthen your back and your condition worsens, you may need surgical treatment, so you should be careful," he advised."
In order to protect your back health, it is important to diet and exercise properly suitable for you. Above all, if back pain persists or is difficult to endure, it is important to visit a hospital as soon as possible to receive accurate diagnosis and treatment.
