Acute stage of herniated disc patients acupuncture has a certain effect, but it should be noted that acupuncture can only play a role in relieving symptoms, patients should pay attention to bed rest. Acupuncture has the effect of dredging the meridians and channels, harmonizing yin and yang, supporting the positive and dispelling the evil (supporting the positive qi in the body and dispelling the evil qi in the body), etc., which can alleviate the symptoms of pain, numbness, swelling, etc., and other diseases caused by the obstruction of qi and blood flow. For patients with intervertebral disc herniation, appropriate acupuncture in the acute stage can reduce muscle spasm, local swelling, pain, numbness and other conditions caused by intervertebral disc herniation, but it cannot cure the disease and should be taken seriously. If the condition of the patient in the acute phase is more serious, there may be a situation in which acupuncture does not have a relieving effect. Usually, patients in the acute stage of herniated disc should pay attention to bed rest to avoid aggravating the condition by continuing activities. In addition to acupuncture, patients can also apply local hot compresses and moxibustion to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis to relieve discomfort. It is recommended that patients with herniated discs seek medical examination and follow the doctor’s instructions to choose the appropriate treatment measures, rather than indiscriminate use of drugs or prescriptions.
