Working the core tummy muscles are a great help; they assist the abused back muscles in keeping you upright.
Bulging and or ruptured discs tpically causes pain down the siatica, folded sock syndrome and a limp. For me, a slipped disc feels like a rod got jammed in the back and I can't bend very well. It's kinda scary (especially the sound when it slips back) but when I slip a disc I prop up a leg on something tall like a fence (sorta even with my waist), raise up the arms to my shoulders (sometimes with my fists on my chest), then while standing as straight as I can I twist away from the elevated leg as far as I can. Say about 2.5 revolutions (OK, slight exaggeration
). No bouncing, just a good solid even pressure into the rotation. Repeat on the other side.
Sometimes this will pop the disc back - about a third of the time. The rest of the time it usually slips back later in the day or over night. Also a good one to do just because.
Some have told me that having a small gal from the far eastern pacific rim walk on your back in high heals is supposed to be good too but I have not tried that yet.
