Does pulse therapy for herniated lumbar discs work

Pulse therapy is useful for mild lumbar disc herniation. Pulse therapy acts on the patient’s tissues through microcurrent to dilate the local small blood vessels, which can improve the patient’s microcirculation to a certain extent and relieve the lumbar pain caused by lumbar disc herniation, and it can improve the clinical symptoms caused by mild lumbar disc herniation. However, for serious lumbar disc herniation, such as complete herniation of the nucleus pulposus leading to severe nerve compression, simple pulse therapy is ineffective, and it is only through surgical treatment that nerve compression can be relieved and the patient’s condition improved, such as laminectomy. For patients with lumbar disc herniation, they should pay attention to the protection of the lumbar spine, avoid sitting and standing for a long time, avoid frequent bending, weight-bearing and other activities, and if there are uncomfortable symptoms or aggravation of clinical symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner, and standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
