Physiotherapy methods for lumbar disc herniation generally include massage, infrared or microwave irradiation, traction and so on. 1. Massage: It is mainly to massage the muscles, ligaments and other tissues near the lumbar vertebrae, including pushing, pressing and bouncing, etc., which mainly improves the muscle fatigue, promotes the local blood circulation and reduces the pain. 2. Infrared ray or microwave irradiation: the patient takes the prone position and adjusts the height to irradiate the lumbar pain area, which can improve the local inflammatory reaction and reduce the patient’s symptoms. 3. Traction: by fixing the upper body and tractioning the lower limbs with scales and other tools, the lumbar intervertebral space can be widened and the posterior longitudinal ligament strained to a certain extent, providing space for the nucleus pulposus to retract, but there is a certain degree of risk associated with this method, and it is recommended that it be done under the guidance of a professional doctor. Physical therapy for lumbar disc herniation plays only an auxiliary role in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation, and patients with lumbar disc herniation are recommended to go to the hospital in time for early and regular treatment.
