Does bending forward worsen disc-related disorders?

It’s a common misconception that bending forward should be strictly avoided if you have a disc-related issue. The spine is naturally designed to bend forward, and keeping it flexible can help prevent disc prolapse. The more flexible the disc, the lower the risk of damage. However, if you are experiencing back pain or acute sciatica, it’s better to avoid bending forward during the acute episode.
