Among the classifications of low back pain diseases, lumbar disc herniation (“lumbar herniation”) is one of the most prevalent, with the first occurrence in people between 20 and 40 years old, which seriously affects people’s health and brings a lot of inconvenience to life and work. If you have this disease, you may want to try acupuncture treatment. According to Chinese medicine, “lumbar protrusion” is caused by irregularities in the meridians, stagnation of qi and blood, loss of nourishment of tendons and bones, and lack of blood circulation, mostly involving the Governor’s vein and the meridians circulating in the legs. Modern medicine believes that, except for a very small number of people, the majority of patients with lumbar disc herniation are degenerative lesions caused by trauma, strain and long-term cold. And weight-bearing, weight lifting, Mongolian bending, sleeping with cold, etc. are the direct causes of disc herniation. The main feature of this disease is the onset of disc herniation in the lumbar 4/5 vertebrae, lumbar 5/sacral 1 disc herniation is more common, backward protruding disc tissue compression of unilateral or bilateral nerve roots, or posterior central protrusion compression of the cauda equina nerve, causing nerve root inflammation, edema, nerve root dystrophy, etc., resulting in pain in the patient’s back, and then sciatic nerve distribution area pain, skin sensory numbness, muscle atrophy, motor weakness. In severe cases, this can lead to lumbar paralysis, urinary and fecal incontinence, restricted movement, and even paralysis. Modern medicine has its own approach to “lumbar protrusion”, such as surgery and so on. Acupuncture and acupuncture in Chinese medicine believes that the key is to eliminate nerve root edema, congestion, adhesions and other sterile inflammation, “strengthen the kidneys and waist, benefit the qi and blood, dredge the meridians and channels, dispel wind and dampness, tendons, and loosen adhesions.” The method of acupuncture can both stimulate the meridians, reduce the excitability of nerve endings, promote muscle relaxation and relieve spasm, and moreover promote the herniated disc site to retract through the force brought by the strong muscle contraction stimulated by the acupuncture points. On this basis, except for those whose nucleus pulposus protrudes toward the middle of the back (central type), they can be combined with massage therapy to dilate the surrounding blood vessels, change the blood circulation of the lesion, promote local metabolism, and increase the inhibition of painful substances or transform painful substances. Acupuncture and tui-na are accompanied by traction therapy to open the intervertebral space. Through the treatment of these three methods, the relationship between the position of the herniated part of the intervertebral disc and the part of the nerve it affects is changed, thus promoting the absorption of congestion and edema by the surrounding ligaments and nerve roots and achieving the purpose of decreasing inflammation. In addition, pay attention to strengthen the lumbar warmth, sleep on a hard bed, under the guidance of the doctor to carry out the corresponding exercise, are conducive to prevent the recurrence of “lumbar protrusion”.
