Treatment of lumbar disc herniation

  In my previous article, I talked about some basic knowledge about lumbar disc herniation, hoping to give you some help, and this time about some ways of treatment for lumbar disc herniation.  The lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is based on the degenerative degeneration of the intervertebral disc due to the rupture of the annulus fibrosus, the nucleus pulposus protrudes and compresses the nerve roots, causing back and leg pain and nerve dysfunction, one of the most common causes of clinical back and leg pain. The most common cause of clinical low back pain and neurological dysfunction is the herniated disc in L4.5 and L5.S1, which is most common in young adults between the ages of 20 and 40.  Generally speaking, the conventional treatment methods for lumbar disc herniation are as follows.  I. Non-surgical treatment Bed rest, to sleep on a hard bed and pay more attention to rest, especially for patients with heavy symptoms. Traction therapy, only for lumbar disc bulge, not for lumbar disc protrusion and prolapse. Physiotherapy, which can relieve symptoms, reduce pain, numbness and swelling. Tui na treatment, this varies from person to person, some people do not have lumbar disc herniation instead made lumbar disc herniation. Acupuncture treatment, many people have tried, the overall effect is not good, a few people have effect. Closed therapy, the symptoms are heavy when playing closed needle can generally be managed one to three months, but closed for the body is harmful.  Second, surgery Conventional open surgery (including: half laminectomy, full laminectomy, transabdominal disc surgery), which is currently the most used, and the best effect of the treatment, is now the conventional surgery. However, any surgery comes with risks, and no surgery can be said to be 100% successful. Minimally invasive intervertebral discoscopic surgery avoids the problem of major injuries, but the success rate of the surgery is not high. Percutaneous puncture and aspiration, only for bulging lumbar discs. Artificial lumbar disc replacement.
