2. Medication: Non-steroidal painkillers such as ibuprofen or dehydrating drugs such as mannitol can be taken under doctor’s supervision to relieve swelling and other symptoms.
3. Physiotherapy: Physiotherapy methods such as traction and massage can be used to promote blood circulation and relieve pain and swelling.
4. Surgery: In serious cases, the doctor may recommend nucleus pulposus removal to relieve the pressure on the peripheral nerves of the lumbar spine.
Patients with lumbar spine bulging at 2-3 joints should go to the hospital in time and standardize the treatment under the doctor’s guidance, and do not blindly use medication or treatment on their own.
