The lumbar intervertebral disc is composed of the outer fibrous ring and the inner nucleus pulposus, the fibrous ring wraps the nucleus pulposus, which has a high water content, and as people grow older, its water content also gradually decreases, that is, the lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration, the lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is formed on top of the lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration, after the disc degeneration, the fibrous ring ruptures and the nucleus pulposus protrudes under the action of external force or its own posture and body position, which forms the The so-called lumbar disc herniation, but not yet can be called lumbar disc herniation, because the place of protrusion is different, the external symptom performance is also different, some patients are only found to have lumbar disc herniation during physical examination, but there are no symptoms, this is not diagnosed as lumbar disc herniation, can only be called lumbar disc herniation, because the diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation in addition to the influence of the scientific support, but also clinical symptoms. Depending on the location of the herniated disc, it can be divided into the following types: 1. lateral type 2. paracentral type 3. central type The lateral type is mainly characterized by the presence of lumbar plexus nerve compression and radiating pain of the lower limbs in addition to lumbar pain. The treatment of this type is relatively simple, and the combination of Chinese and Western medicine is more effective. This type is more serious and manifests as sensory disorders in the saddle area and dysfunction of the sphincter, and surgery is more necessary for this type. The lumbar disc herniation can also be divided into: 1, bulging type 2, herniated type 3, prolapsed type, prolapsed type must also be operated, for the lumbar spine imaging diagnosis if possible, it is best to choose MRI, because it can well show the site of protrusion, size, the size of the spinal canal and the surrounding soft tissue situation. The treatment of lumbar disc herniation should use Chinese herbal medicine, massage and acupuncture, in ordinary times the patient should pay attention to: 1, when getting up must be side up 2, usually do less bending movements, because bending will make the nucleus pulposus protrude backwards 3, the bed should not be too soft 4, when the symptoms are heavy need to bed rest, to relieve the pressure of the intervertebral disc, is conducive to the protruding disc of their own repair 5, lumbar circumference can not be used for a long time, will lead to lumbar muscle atrophy of the lumbar muscles.
