A herniated lumbar disc is an imaging change. Some patients who develop a herniated lumbar disc have no symptoms, while others may experience low back pain, radiating numbness and pain in the lower extremities. Acupuncture is good for relieving the symptoms of a herniated lumbar disc, but it generally cannot eliminate the already herniated disc. According to Chinese medicine, herniated lumbar discs are closely related to poor qi and blood flow in the bladder meridian, bile meridian, and the Directing Vessel. By stimulating meridians and acupuncture points, acupuncture can promote blood circulation and reduce the local sterile inflammatory reaction caused by herniated lumbar discs. In addition, acupuncture can also stimulate nerves and alleviate the symptoms of numbness and pain. When acupuncture is applied to treat lumbar disc herniation, a full course of treatment is usually required, and a comprehensive regimen can also be performed under the guidance of a professional doctor, together with massage as well as traction. In addition to acupuncture treatment, patients can also take nerve-nourishing and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and if the symptoms are not relieved for a long time, surgery can be chosen. Patients should pay more attention to rest in daily life and try to choose a hard board bed. Avoid local cold and chill, and eat more foods with high calcium content, such as dairy products and soy products.
