Most lumbar herniated discs are difficult to heal on their own without therapeutic intervention, and bed rest generally only relieves the pain and other symptoms caused by the herniated disc. Lumbar disc herniation is the result of various factors such as degenerative changes in the lumbar discs, abnormal loading of the lumbar vertebrae or trauma, etc., and is generally difficult to heal by itself without treatment. It can be treated by the following methods. 1. Rest: It is one of the most convenient treatment methods, including bed rest, paying attention to warmth, avoiding heavy physical labor, and avoiding the lumbar region from getting cold, etc. At the same time, good posture should be maintained. At the same time, good posture should be maintained to help avoid acute attack of lumbar disc herniation. 2. Traction: Pelvic traction can be used to increase the width of the lumbar intervertebral space, which is conducive to reducing the internal pressure of the lumbar intervertebral discs, thus alleviating the irritation and compression of the protruding lumbar intervertebral discs on the nerve roots, and ultimately relieving the pain. 3. Drug therapy: when the pain symptoms are more obvious, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic drugs such as ibuprofen and celecoxib can be given to relieve the pain; muscle relaxants such as ethylpiperidone and chlorzoxazone can also be given to relieve the pain. Nutritional nerve drugs, such as vitamin B, methylcobalamin, etc., can also be given appropriately. 4. Physical therapy: pain caused by lumbar disc herniation can be relieved by physical therapy, such as low and medium frequency electrotherapy, extracorporeal shock wave and so on. 5. Surgery: If conservative treatment is ineffective and the symptoms seriously affect the patient’s normal life, surgery can be performed. If the diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation is confirmed, it is recommended to carry out standardized treatment as early as possible in order to reduce the adverse effects of the disease. All of the above medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor to avoid self-medication.
