I'm not sure if I have a herniated disc( waiting to see my doc in 3 days) but I have a bad back(& knees) from my previous job. It would keep me bed-ridden for days @ a time sometime.
I find cycling keeps my joints feeling good, if I keep them moving, the pain subsides. I notice when I get lazy/busy, & not ride as much my back will act/flare up.
