“Can I exercise with a disc hernia?”

You do need to be careful with disc herniations until they heal. Depending

Yes Check with your diagnosing provider for limitations

This is a great question. The answer is not a simple yes or no. You need to understand how much of a hernia you have, and your doctor should advise you what you can and cannot do to not reinjure yourself and stay healthy. Depending on your hernia one can stretch gently and loosen up the tissue. Please see a chiropractor or a medical professional to see what would be best for you.

I find that it's 50/50. If it feels good when you exercise then it's probably ok (obviously being very smart and careful). If it hurts when you exercise then stop immediately.
