Can a herniated lumbar disc do traction well

In the traditional treatment of lumbar disc herniation, the preferred method is to rest on a hard bed and traction on the lumbar spine. Through lumbar traction or pelvic traction, the vertebral space can be enlarged, so that the negative pressure in the intervertebral disc can be increased, and the herniated nucleus pulposus can be re-integrated into the disc under the attraction of negative pressure, and the compression on the nerve roots can be lifted, so that the local inflammation and edema can be reduced, and the patient’s back pain, sciatic nerve pain, and even numbness of the lower limbs after the nerve compression can be relieved. This method is effective, safe, and has no side effects. Patients can go to the hospital and perform traction in bed, or they can perform continuous traction at home with a lumbar spine traction belt.
