Recently, a TV host said in the introduction of Chinese medicine for lumbar disc herniation, Western medicine treatment in addition to drugs is surgery, while Chinese medicine can massage massage acupuncture cupping and so on, the patient in not accepting surgery only choose Chinese medicine. After all, the host has no medical background, so the conclusion is too absolute and one-sided. In fact, there are many ways to treat lumbar disc herniation in Western medicine, including physical factor therapy, which has not only a long history but also good efficacy, but has been neglected in the last 10 years or so. We know that human beings originated from the physical and chemical factors of nature and are also interdependent with them in the evolutionary process, and that life itself is an advanced movement of matter in a special form. History proves that physics is the basis of the entire natural sciences, and that its development has driven medical progress and triggered the biological revolution. Initially, physicists discovered many physical properties of the human body, such as mechanical properties (including heartbeat), bioelectrical properties (including ECG, EEG, EMG, EEG, etc.), magnetic properties (including heart magnetic field, lung magnetic field, brain magnetic field, etc.), oscillatory properties (including water molecules, biomolecules, cell membranes, etc.), and light and sound properties (including infrasound, conductive properties of DNA, etc.). . Since the 18th century, almost all the great scholars on the monument of physics have been directly or indirectly involved in the practice of curing diseases by physical factors. Franklin used to treat paralyzed patients with Leyden bottle discharge; Faraday invented induction electrotherapy; Maxwell proposed electromagnetic field theory; Hertz discovered electromagnetic waves; Dasunval invented high-frequency electrotherapy; Leduc invented direct current; Newton was the pioneer of optics, Einstein was the originator of laser The originator of the laser. After the Second World War, physical therapy developed rapidly and became an important part of clinical medicine – clinical therapeutics, and formed modern physical therapy with rehabilitation medicine, sports medicine, and therapeutics. In the former Soviet Union, physiotherapy treatment of more than 430 kinds of diseases, China according to the early 80s statistics, physiotherapy disease has reached more than 260 kinds. Physiotherapy treatment of lumbar disc herniation is based on clinical symptoms, signs and imaging performance, and in the acute stage to relieve pain and control inflammation in the lumbar spine area, high frequency long wave (Care) therapy, ultra-short wave therapy, interference electrotherapy, low and medium frequency electrotherapy can be used; in the subacute and chronic stages to reduce myofascial and nerve tension, prevent muscle atrophy and adhesion, improve function and promote rehabilitation, can In the subacute and chronic stages, the main purpose is to reduce myofascial and nerve tension, prevent muscle atrophy and adhesion, improve function, and promote recovery, which can be treated with warm vibration magnetic therapy, ultrasonic therapy, low-frequency interference current, direct current drug introduction, and so on. If there is no physical therapy equipment in the medical institution in the patient’s area, bed rest is the main treatment in the acute stage, and heat therapy, chiropractic manipulation and lumbar back muscle stretching training can be used to improve symptoms in the subacute stage. In Beijing, many tertiary hospitals such as the Union Hospital, Beijing Hospital, Peking University Hospital, China-Japan Hospital, 301 Hospital, 304 Hospital and our 306 Hospital have very good physical therapy equipment, and we have relieved many patients with lumbar disc herniation. Therefore, it is too absolute and one-sided to ignore physical factor treatment (physiotherapy) and suggest that “the only treatment for lumbar disc herniation other than surgery is Chinese medicine treatment”.
