Treatment of herniated lumbar disc

  The main treatment methods for lumbar disc herniation include conservative treatment and surgery.  There are more conservative treatment methods, the first is bed rest, reduce the body’s gravity on the extrusion of the disc, so that the herniated disc retracted as much as possible, as well as traction therapy, through traction to increase the width of the intervertebral space, so as to reduce the pressure within the disc, so that the herniated disc partially back to reduce the compression and stimulation of the nerve roots, as well as with massage massage and other physical therapy measures, through the above The above methods can relieve the spastic muscles and reduce the pressure on the intervertebral disc. In the acute stage, pharmacological treatment is available, including the application of hormones to improve the local inflammatory response, dehydrating drugs to reduce edema of the nerve roots, and nutritional drugs to reduce neurological symptoms. During the recovery period, functional exercises of the low back muscles are strengthened and the lifestyle is improved. If the above conservative treatment measures are not very effective, surgical treatment can be considered, and surgical treatment can be considered as minimally invasive treatment, which is less damaging to people, can shorten the recovery time, and has better results.  In addition to medical interventions, it is also important for the patient to make lifestyle adjustments to avoid or reduce ambulation, bending over, and inappropriate lumbar exertion.
