The story
Talent Uno Kanda (51) told Sports Hochi that, in order to focus on treating her recurring herniated disc, she’ll be turning down “everything except work” for the rest of the year. She also disclosed her diagnosis, saying she intends to prioritize treatment “until I achieve full remission.” On 5ch’s Entertainment/Sports Breaking News+ board, the thread drew a flood of stories from people who’ve dealt with sciatica and herniated discs, with opinions split between going through with surgery versus taking a wait-and-see approach with conservative treatment. Some pointed out that former ballet dancers tend to develop an exaggerated lower-back arch from maintaining posture, and that jobs requiring frequent high heels also tend to strain the lower back.

What people said
Probably the same crowd that likes the Kanae Sisters? (eccentric celebrity twin duo)
Yonekura, who also did ballet, had some kind of injury too, right?
People who've done ballet often end up with an exaggerated arched lower back from working to keep good posture.
Also, both Uno and Yonekura probably wear high heels constantly for work, and that's not great for the lower back either.
My hip's been hurting and I'm torn over it, but surgery just feels like… I don't know.
A friend of mine had surgery for spinal stenosis and ended up disabled.
Why not start by searching YouTube for your symptoms and trying some stretches?
I had a herniated disc but got better without surgery.
(Just looked it up a second ago though.)
Just take things at your own pace and don't push yourself too hard.
Drinking and bad eating habits show up directly in your body too.
stem cell IV drips
and myofascial release chiropractic lymph care
—I don't really get what either of those are…
Some kind of out-of-pocket alternative therapy thing?
Or is the IV drip more like those hyaluronic acid injections people get in their knee joints?
Mine used to flare up occasionally in winter, but once I made a point of not letting anything from my solar plexus down to my toes get cold, it stopped happening entirely.
Guess getting cold is bad for it.
Or is Uno Kanda just using the word wrong?
Hernias tend to recur as the years go by, so it fits.
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
“Remission” is a term originally used mainly for chronic conditions like cancer, leukemia, and rheumatoid arthritis — it describes a state where symptoms have subsided without the condition being fully cured, meaning a relapse remains possible. Some users felt it was an odd word choice for a herniated disc, and the thread ended up debating whether the term was even appropriate. While some cases of herniated discs and spinal stenosis do improve with surgery, others are left with lingering aftereffects, or naturally improve through conservative treatment instead — in practice, treatment approaches vary depending on symptoms and how advanced the condition is. Commenters also noted that former ballet dancers and people in jobs requiring frequent high heel wear tend to develop an arched lower back, which lines up with a well-known medical tendency for lower-back strain to build up over time.
