What are the symptoms of lumbar spine deformation

The clinical manifestation of lumbar spine deformation is mainly the appearance of nerve compression symptoms. The patient may have persistent and chronic pain in the lumbar region, difficulty in bending, reduced muscle sensation in the lower limbs, or reduced skin sensation or numbness, difficulty in walking or abnormal bowel movements, and pathological reflexes in the lower limbs, including hyperactive or absent knee reflexes and Achilles tendon reflexes. A clear diagnosis can be made by electromyography or by taking X-ray or CT films of the lumbar spine. The main treatment is symptomatic treatment, which requires the patient to reduce weight-bearing on the lumbar region, to rest in bed, and to use acupuncture, physiotherapy or tui-na for the lumbar region.
