Lumbar disc herniation is a common clinical disease, with a high incidence rate mainly between the ages of 40 and 60, particularly among the younger adult population. If the lumbar disc herniation is severe, and procedures such as nucleotomy, laminotomy, and lumbar fusion surgery have been performed, one might wonder what type of exercise is advisable post-surgery, and whether running is appropriate. Regarding lumbar fusion surgery for disc herniation, running is not contraindicated. After a good recovery, one can engage in jogging. However, it is advised to avoid high-intensity running and instead opt for short-distance, slow-paced jogging. This can be completely acceptable post-surgery for those with lumbar herniation fusion.
