Acute episodes of lumbar disc herniation can be relieved by general treatment, physical therapy and medication. 1. General treatment: patients should keep bed rest, do not sit for a long time or overwork, and can wear a waist cuff to protect the lumbar spine. 2. Physiotherapy: Microwave physiotherapy or infrared therapy can be used to relieve local inflammation, thus improving the situation of lumbar pain. Combined with the condition, traction can be chosen to increase the width of the intervertebral space, reduce the internal pressure of the intervertebral disc, make the herniated portion of the intervertebral disc retracted, and reduce the irritation and compression of the nerve root. 3. Medication: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as diclofenac sodium or loxoprofen sodium tablets, can be taken under the guidance of a doctor to relieve pain. You can also apply ointment externally for treatment, such as Tongluo pain relief ointment for external application. In addition, each patient’s individual situation and condition is different, and may need to be given surgical treatment, so the specific treatment plan should follow the doctor’s instructions, in order to ensure the efficacy of the treatment and avoid some side effects.
