Yes but there are limitations and things you should not do. A proper and thorough examination from a Cox Flexion Distraction Certified provider is the way to start.

Hernia cannot be fixed w exercise.
You can strengthen your core muscle to support your back
To clarify, do you have disc herniation in your back? If so, exercises are a very important piece to rehabilitating a back herniation, however, every case varies in severity and you should consult with your chiropractor, PT or other healthcare professional to make sure the timing and level of exercises is appropriate for you.
Disc herniation can heal. strengthening your back muscles can take the pressure off your disc's and help them to heal. You must really watch what exercises you do because it could aggregate some back conditions.
