I have multiple disc issues and cannot agree more with this statement. If your herniations are lumbar, stretching your hamstrings are paramount. If I go more than a couple of days without a couple sets of modified stiff-leg deadlifts (I use my kettlebells) and draping myself over a stability ball (for decompression), I can feel trouble brewing. It starts as tightness behind my knees and creeps its way up until I'm in serious pain.

As far as reducing dietary inflammation, eliminating simple sugars, processed foods and grains is the most practical way to go.
