One spinal disc herniation cause in people who suffer from it, aches and painscaused because part of an intervertebral disc has changed from its natural movement to a place that does not correspond to it, bringing these ailments.
Avoiding efforts that can aggravate the ailment, strengthening the lumbar and abdominal area with specific exercises, avoiding bad posture and resting on a mattress indicated for this ailment is essential to improve the situation.
But which mattress to choose?
Sleeping on an old mattress without adequate firmness is a reason for a herniated disc not to improve or even to worsen. If the mattress has lost firmness, our pelvis will sink deeper as well as shoulders. If 10 years have passed since the purchase of the mattress, it is time for you to buy a new one and follow the recommendation of the experts.
There are professionals who recommend a hard mattress in these cases, but this rule cannot really be applied to everyone. Fortunately, there are manufacturers today who have mattresses whose density is adapted to each case, and with the possibility of trying them for a while. From Mi Colchón, we recommend making a good investment in this regard.
Mattresses that allow the spine to remain correctly aligned, respecting its natural curvature, are recommended. This is allowed by the High firmness mattresses. In the vast majority of cases they are spring mattresses or pocket springs, but there are also foam and latex mattresses with high firmness.
In addition to good firmness, it is necessary that the mattress adapts, to avoid pressure and thus not increase pain. But The reception must not be excessive. That is, we should avoid mattresses with thick layers of memory foam or other types of foams that “hug” us. Layers of up to 2 cm of memory foam are recommended as they avoid pressure but without excessive sinking.
It is also important to rest these mattresses on upholstered or hard-lid bases, to enjoy them as much as possible.
From Mi Colchón, we recommend the mattresses of the firm NESSEN, each designed to relieve different back ailments and that we invite you to try in any of our facilities in Malaga.
