Every year, winter is the season with a high incidence of lumbar disc herniation. According to Chinese medicine theory, the body’s yang energy is closed in the body in winter, plus the wind-cold evil is especially serious, and it is easy to invade the body to cause or aggravate the lumbar disc protrusion. The majority of lumbar protrusion patients are reminded that winter is a critical time for the prevention and treatment of lumbar disc herniation, which requires extra attention in many aspects.
