Treatment options for lumbar 4-5 disc herniation are categorized into conservative and surgical treatments. The choice of treatment options depends largely on the extent of the lumbar 4-5 disc herniation. If the lumbar disc herniation is relatively mild, conservative treatment can be considered. If the herniation is more severe, surgical treatment should be considered. Lumbar disc herniation is categorized into three degrees: the first is lumbar disc bulge; the second is lumbar disc herniation; and the third is lumbar disc prolapse. Both lumbar bulging and herniated discs can be treated strictly conservatively. During the acute exacerbation phase, it is necessary to strictly lie flat on a hard board bed without getting up, getting off the floor, or sitting down, and to cooperate with lumbar three-dimensional computerized traction as well as dehydration treatment. Lumbar disc prolapse can only be treated by surgery, such as laminectomy as well as incision therapy.
