Bodyvit Bergen helps you with that…
A hernia… Pain in the back, buttock, leg or foot. Other very characteristic complaints such as tingling, numbness, shooting pain and/or loss of strength can also occur. The complaints can be very annoying. But what is the best thing to do with a hernia? Bodyvit’s physiotherapists provide information, advice and tips.
A hernia literally means bulge. A back hernia is a protrusion of the core of an intervertebral disc. This can put pressure on a nerve, which in turn can lead to the specific complaints and pain.
Despite the fact that the pain and other sensations can sometimes be very intense, doctors and doctors indicate to wait and see. In most cases, a hernia will heal itself within three months. Physiotherapy and possibly pain medication are the advice.
‘Once’ a hernia is not ‘always’ a hernia
The body has a self-healing capacity.
A hernia still causes a lot of anxiety, which often causes less movement.
Years ago, the advice was to take long-term bed rest, even up to six weeks. Rest and doing as little as possible is still very much alive with many people.
Most people with a hernia often do not know how much influence they themselves have on the complaints and that they can positively influence the recovery.
What must be done?
The step to a physiotherapist is useful and important. We can often properly assess the seriousness of the complaint and therefore take the right follow-up steps. Step 1 is to explain what a hernia is and what you should and should not do. Informing and guiding provides a lot of insight into the complaint, which gives you more self-confidence and therefore starts to move (more).
Exercise (guided by the pain) will have a positive effect on recovery. Which exercises and movements are good differs per individual and complaint. We can guide you in this!
“Exercises and moving are the conditions for a good and fast recovery”
If recovery ultimately does not occur (sufficiently), then the step to a doctor or general practitioner can be considered. We can also guide you in this.
