A herniated disc is a herniation of an intervertebral disc. Patients can use acupuncture to relieve discomfort, but acupuncture cannot cure a herniated disc. Herniated discs are categorized into cervical herniated discs and lumbar herniated discs. Usually, such patients can seek medical treatment to achieve the purpose of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis (promoting blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis in the body) and dredging the meridians through acupuncture at the corresponding acupuncture points. Especially for those with paralysis-induced illnesses, acupuncture treatment can alleviate the symptoms of localized pain or numbness, which can help to improve the quality of life. Patients with herniated discs avoid acupuncture when they are overworked, have localized skin diseases, or drink alcohol. For patients with herniated discs, they can also seek medical attention on a daily basis to regulate the condition through other Chinese medicine modalities such as acupressure, cupping, and medicated fumigation, which can help to relieve muscle spasms and reduce the pressure within the discs, but not violent acupressure or massage. It is recommended that people with herniated discs in need go to regular hospitals for treatment, strengthen skin care after acupuncture, and avoid friction and irritation of foreign objects to prevent infections from occurring.
