How to treat and prevent lumbar disc herniation

Lumbar disc herniation is one of the common disorders in spine surgery, commonly known as “lumbar herniation”. In recent years, the incidence of lumbar pain, a premonitory symptom of lumbar herniation in China, is as high as 18%, second only to the flu, with a trend of younger patients. When treating lumbar synostosis clinically, we often encounter delays in treatment due to some people’s misconceptions about lumbar synostosis. Patients with lumbar synostosis should go to a regular hospital at the onset of the disease, pay attention to bed rest, preferably lying down, do not engage in sports such as running, and do not easily do massage. The pain can be relieved by bed rest, dehydration and anti-inflammation, nerve nutrition and other methods to eliminate the inflammation of the nerve root due to pressure. If the symptoms recur, you should immediately go to a regular hospital for treatment to avoid aggravation of the condition. Intervertebral foraminoscopy is the most advanced minimally invasive technology for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation today, featuring small trauma (only 7mm), high safety and low cost. Changing a poor lifestyle will reduce the occurrence of lumbar herniation. Nowadays, there are many obese people in the city, which increases the burden on the lumbar spine. The office white-collar workers, heavy laborers and drivers account for a large proportion of patients, and even some high school students are suffering from sedentary diseases. This is because the sedentary and caused by the reduction of exercise, while the lack of exercise, will lead to a decrease in the strength of the lumbar muscles, the protection of the spine is weakened, easy to induce lumbar synostosis. So patients must pay attention to weight control and change their sedentary habits. When sitting, they should keep their chest up and avoid a long forward leaning posture, and they should also enhance their lumbar muscle exercises.
