Lumbar disc herniation is diagnosed and treated by symptoms. Imaging changes, if there are no symptoms, it is called herniated disc, without treatment; if there are symptoms, it is called herniated disc, which requires treatment. There are many treatment methods, but the fundamental one is to decide on the basis of the symptoms and physical condition of the patient. Generally, traction, physical therapy, medication, and infusion can be used. Surgery, including minimally invasive procedures such as discoscopy, may be considered if the results are unsatisfactory. The specific treatment can be decided by the attending doctor’s advice and the patient’s own condition. I wish you a speedy recovery!
