Can a herniated lumbar disc be cured?

Herniated lumbar discs are difficult to cure completely, and current medicine can only alleviate the symptoms of a herniated lumbar disc. Lumbar disc herniation mainly manifests as low back pain, sciatica and cauda equina syndrome. The vast majority of patients with herniated lumbar discs have a good prognosis. 80% to 90% of patients with herniated lumbar discs actively accept systematic treatment by doctors, which can effectively relieve the discomfort caused by herniated lumbar discs, but it is difficult to completely cure herniated lumbar discs. Herniated lumbar disc patients need to go to the hospital in time to receive targeted treatment from the doctor. If the condition is relatively mild, you can follow the doctor’s instructions to take ibuprofen, diclofenac, vitamin B, mannitol and other drugs, if necessary, also in the complementary physical therapy, such as extracorporeal shock wave, low and intermediate frequency therapy, laser therapy and so on. If the condition is more serious or the treatment effect of the above methods is not satisfactory, it can be treated by way of surgery, which is divided into open surgery and minimally invasive surgery. Patients with lumbar disc herniation are advised to seek medical treatment in time.
