The presence of nerve root type lumbar disc herniation can be treated by the following methods: First, mild pain and limited lumbar spine movement can be treated by conservative treatment, such as lumbar traction therapy, ultrashort wave therapy, and Chinese herbal medicine iontophoresis therapy, which can also be combined with physical therapy such as massage, tui na and acupuncture. Oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as celecoxib, can relieve the mild pain symptoms caused by lumbar disc herniation. Second, for severe pain and activity disorders, surgical treatment should be considered, including minimally invasive surgery and traditional incisional surgery to remove nerve compression and restore the conduction function of nerves, which can completely resolve pain and functional disorders. Therefore, the presence of nerve root type lumbar disc herniation should be treated according to the severity of the condition, and through active treatment, the patient can resume normal work and life as soon as possible.
