5 Best EASY exercises for L4-L5, L5-S1 Disc Bulge, Dr. Frank Altenrath | Chiropractor In Cresskill

If you are suffering from a low back disc bulge or herniation, whether L4-L5 or L5-S1, the pain and discomfort can be debilitating and frustrating. However, doing the right exercises at the proper time increases your chances of recovering quicker. In this video you will be shown five different exercises that address mobility, as well as stability of the low back, which includes the L4-L5 and L5-S1 region. At the end of the video you will also be shown some BONUS exercises that incorporate decompression of the low back which allows pressure to be taken off of the discs allowing for quick pain relief in many cases. Remember to always consult with your health professional before starting any exercise program to make sure that they are right for you.

Thank you, Dr. Frank. I've been struggling with L5 S1, DDD, and I've undergone rehabilitation about 15 times, including exercises that I've continued at home. I've watched other videos related to this issue, but the exercises didn't seem to work for me. Instead, I've experienced ongoing pain in my lower back. When I saw your video, I thought it might be the best set of exercises, some of which I'm already doing. I'll provide you with feedback later on.

[@drfrankaltenrath]

Thanks for watching. I wish you the best in health🙏

[@clarehatcher760]

Thankyou for these excercises. I am recovering from herniated disc, 7 weeks in and starting to want to excercise... my leg still has pins and needles and reduced strength and feeling.
My question is- the bones in my back crunch and grind when I move about, and I worry what that means!? 😳

[@WaterBoy-et5bl]

Hi doc kindly help with excersie which help neck re stureture

[@vbienek8649]

These decompression exercises are great, ty. Dr. Frank, it'd be very helpful if you'd share additional exercises &/or INFO. for folks like me that suffer with radiculopathy/ deferred SEVERE PAIN that remain in both legs & feet because L5S1 herniated disc [due to 35 yr old gym injury]. My DO frowns upon back surgery & I'd tend to agree. I refuse to stay idle but gets me in trouble!🙄

[@drfrankaltenrath]

Thanks for sharing 🙏. You can definitely try these exercises and if any of them increase symptoms do not continue. But as I always say, you should speak with a medical professional who knows your case specifically if you have any questions. Good luck 👍

Sir can i do back hyper extension in gym for lower back?
I have lower back pain but its never very serious but its always there and sometimes there is some electric shock kind of pain, very rare but occurs sometimes while bending.
Is it herniated disc or bulge? Which is riskier?

[@laurenlim470]

[@champadas881]

Hello. I have been suffering from left buttock pain along with left leg since last 4 months. MRI done and report has disc protusion in L4-L5.Age-60y female

[@agambird]

Thanks Dr. Frank for the nice video. I have a question: when I walk for more than 6 to 8 minutes, I will start having pain and numbness that starts from the buttocks all the way down to the feet, I couldn't walk any further and i have to stop for a couple of mins for the pain to go away- the pain is equally distributed between the two sides. X-ray shows a narrow disk L5-S1- any suggestions for a proper workout to heal this? Thanks

[@drfrankaltenrath]

Thanks for sharing. In your situation I would consult with a health professional that knows your case. It’s difficult to give suggestions without seeing the MRI and examination. I wish you the best 🙏

There is no disc between L4 &L5 😢,and i have done total right hip replacement last year Feb due to hip fracture

[@revathi7799]

Please explain from india tamil nadu

[@nazaibkhan5703]

Hi Dr Frank
I am following your videos. Thanks
I have one question. My Doctor told me that you disc a bit buldge out and I need core training. But I don't understand how it can help me to solve my issue? How core training helps in my case? Could you please shortly answer 👏👏👏

[@drfrankaltenrath]

Thanks for the question. A strong core supports the spine by taking load pressure off of the discs, just like strong quadriceps and hamstring muscles support the knees. It is always beneficial to have a strong core.

Is rowing good or bad for stenosis?

[@drfrankaltenrath]

It depends, usually bending forward feels good with stenosis.
