Medication Non-steroidal analgesics, such as anti-inflammatory pain and ibuprofen, have strong analgesic effect and strong anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic effects. However, general anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs should not be taken for a longer period of time, especially for patients who also suffer from liver/kidney disease, hypertension and diabetes mellitus should pay more attention to contraindications to avoid triggering new discomforts. Central muscle relaxants, which are useful for relieving muscle pain. Patients should pay attention to the contraindications of anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, which should be taken after meals. In patients with lumbar disc herniation in the acute phase, steroids are ordered and supplemented with dehydrating agents to eliminate nerve root edema. Internal drugs are absorbed, digested and decomposed through the gastrointestinal tract, and finally through the blood circulation, before the drugs can be input to the local area, and the whole process needs to pass through layers of barriers to reach the lesion, but there is little efficacy left, so the effect is extremely slow and inefficient, and the clinical application of these methods can only relieve pain symptoms, functional rehabilitation is irreversible, and there is no way to talk about bone repair. And oral medicine is extremely damaging to the liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal damage, so choose Huang’s topical Chinese medicine powder package, the effect will be better, from the outer skin penetration, drug penetration into the bone, but also no side effects, can completely solve the pain of lumbar disc herniation. Local drug closure treatment Drug closure treatment is to inject local anesthetic drugs for nerve root closure, intravertebral canal closure, sacral canal closure, etc. The most common method now is sacral canal drip injection, in which saline and local anesthetic drugs, hormones, neurotrophic drugs, etc. are injected into the epidural through the sacral canal drip in different proportions, which plays the role of eliminating nerve root edema and inflammation, and for patients in the acute stage of severe pain, the pain relief effect For patients in the acute stage of severe pain, the pain relief effect is quite good.

Chinese medicine treatment The main cause of this disease is the degeneration of the intervertebral disc itself, plus some kind of external factors, such as trauma, chronic strain, and wind, cold, damp and other evil invasion of the body and other factors combined. Chinese medicine has long recognized the “lumbar disc protrusion”. For example, “Su Wen? Stabbing lumbar pain in the chapter said: “Heng Luo’s vein people waist pain, can not be supine, supine is afraid to fall, to get the weight of lifting hurt waist”, and also cloud: “meat in the vein people waist pain, can not cough, cough is the tendon contraction anxious.” The “Medical Heart Enlightenment” also says: “lumbar pain detained anxious, traction legs and feet. All of the above indicates that the disease can be caused by trauma, aggravated by coughing, and manifested as lumbago combined with lower limb pain. The external application of lumbar disc herniation includes ointment, hot compress, external application of raw herbs, drug plus infrared import, drug plus ion import, drug fumigation and so on, which can reduce the nerve pain caused by lumbar disc herniation by activating blood stasis and relieving pain through the principle of meridians. 1, herniated lumbar disc manipulation orthopedic and physical therapy There are many methods of physical therapy, and general hospitals have special physical therapy equipment in the physical therapy and rehabilitation departments. Physical therapy includes: massage, traction, three-dimensional traction, infrared irradiation, acupuncture, fire cupping, electroacupuncture, medium-frequency electrotherapy, magnetic therapy (such as lumbar pain treatment belt) and so on and so forth. We recommend using several physical therapy methods together for better results. Massage and tui-na (also called manual reset), for patients with bulging discs and mild herniation, we recommend using manual orthopedic with traction and Chinese herbal medicine with local heat, but patients with huge herniation or prolapsed discs, traction is not recommended. Other physical therapy methods have no contraindications and can be chosen at will. In recent years, the “small needle knife” therapy has been effective in relieving the pain of lumbar disc herniation and pear-shaped muscle adhesions. 2, lumbar intervertebral disc herniation comprehensive therapy Through the in-depth study of Chinese medicine “ancient formula”, combined with the continuous exploration of generations of Chinese medicine family, the use of pure Chinese medicine with Chinese medicine external treatment methods (including acupuncture, warm moxibustion, thrusting blood, massage), the treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, the main effect of the medicine is to activate the blood to dispel blood stasis, pass through the channels to relieve pain, drive away This therapy has become one of the more effective clinical methods with good response. The treatment price of this therapy is relatively low, the course of treatment is relatively short, it is convenient to take, and it can reflect the treatment concept of combining internal and external treatment of Chinese medicine.
