Patients with lumbar disc herniation should not play volleyball. Avoid heavy physical labor and excessive exercise. Do not sleep on spring mattresses. It is essential to avoid maintaining the same posture for prolonged periods during work or study—especially prolonged forward head posture (e.g., looking down)—and take a 10-minute break every hour. Treatment options include traction, acupuncture, physiotherapy, infrared therapy, and massage. In more severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary. Wishing you good health!
