Can the lumbar disc herniation hot compress

The lumbar disc herniation can be hot compressed, after the hot compress can effectively promote the metabolism and absorption of local inflammatory metabolites, relieve the inflammatory edema between the lumbar disc herniation and the nerve root, after the nerve root stimulation is reduced, it helps to relieve the symptoms of lower limb radiating pain and numbness, and also can effectively reduce the symptoms of lumbar pain. A herniated lumbar disc cannot be treated solely by hot compresses and requires strict bed rest. If too much activity occurs, it may lead to further aggravation of the friction and extrusion between the herniated disc and the nerve root, which will lead to aggravation of the symptoms of the lower back and lower limbs. Oral anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs, such as nimesulide, ibuprofen, and blood-activating and pain-relieving capsules, should also be taken to relieve local inflammatory irritation and increase venous return to relieve symptoms. If conservative treatment does not work well or if the symptoms worsen, surgery is needed to remove the herniated disc so that it no longer compresses the nerve roots, and only then can good results be achieved.
