Can patients with lumbar disc herniation take orthopedic treatment

Patients with lumbar disc herniation can take orthopedic treatment, but orthopedic is only one method of treating lumbar disc herniation, and can also be combined with comprehensive methods such as traction or local injection. Orthopedic treatment is mainly to correct the sequence of lumbar spine misalignment and to correct the state of local biomechanical disorder of the lumbar disc, but there is one point to note when orthopedic treatment, if it is a moderate or severe lumbar disc herniation, the orthopedic bone must be careful because the lumbar spine is in an extremely unstable state when the disc is moderately or severely herniated. If the orthopedic force is too great, it may aggravate the herniation and produce very serious symptoms, such as paralysis or incontinence, at which point the prognosis will not be very good if surgery is then performed, as much of the nerve damage is irreversible. There are two general schools of orthopedic treatment in China, including the more extensive orthopedic treatment and the more gentle and mild orthopedic treatment. There are several tests that need to be done before orthopedic treatment, including x-rays of the lumbar spine. X-rays of the lumbar spine can see if there is any true slippage of the lumbar spine, that is, slippage caused by isthmic discontinuity of the lumbar spine, because the lumbar spine is in a relatively unstable state when there is isthmic discontinuity. There are also CT and MRI of the lumbar spine. CT and MRI can clarify the degree of herniation of the lumbar disc, which can determine the direction of orthopedic treatment, and also the risk of orthopedic treatment.
