Herniated lumbar disc can be cupped to relieve pain and other discomforts. Cupping therapy has the effect of loosening tension, activating blood circulation, reducing swelling, dispersing blood stasis and relieving pain, dredging qi and blood, dispelling wind and removing dampness (dispelling wind and dampness in the body), which can assist in the treatment of this disease. The formation of lumbar disc herniation is mostly caused by the combination of internal and external factors such as wind, cold and dampness, deficiency of qi and blood, and loss of nourishment of liver and kidney, etc. The treatment should dispel cold and dampness, and activate blood circulation and menstruation in order to relieve the paralytic pain. Currently, fire cupping is the main method of cupping, which can remove superficial wind-cold and dampness, and at the same time activate blood circulation to reduce swelling, dissipate blood stasis and relieve pain, and dredge the meridians and collaterals. It is good for relieving pain and other discomforts caused by lumbar disc herniation, but it is more difficult to cure completely. Combined acupuncture, moxibustion, surgery or rehabilitation therapy is also needed. Patients with lumbar disc herniation should choose the treatment plan reasonably under the guidance of professional doctors, and cupping needs to go to regular medical institutions.
