Self-healing methods for herniated discs

A lumbar herniated disc does not usually heal on its own, and can be relieved and eliminated through conservative treatments such as general therapy, medication, and physical therapy, as well as surgery. Lumbar disc herniation is a degenerative change of the lumbar disc, and so far there is no completely self-healing method. However, symptoms can be relieved or eliminated through conservative treatment or surgery. Conservative treatment mainly consists of bed rest, wearing a waist cuff to limit strenuous lumbar activities, symptomatic oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve pain (such as celecoxib, etc.), the use of Myzolene and other decongestants to reduce the nerve root edema, and physical therapy such as hot compresses and electric shocks. During the recovery period, the low back muscles can be strengthened, such as small swallow fly, five-point support and so on. In most cases, the symptoms can be relieved by conservative treatment. If the effect of conservative treatment is not good or even the symptoms worsen, surgical treatment can also be used. Surgical treatments include minimally invasive surgery, traditional open surgery, and lumbar disc replacement. If you have symptoms related to lumbar disc herniation, you should go to a regular hospital in time, complete the relevant examinations, make a clear diagnosis and then follow the doctor’s instructions to carry out standardized treatment, so as to avoid delaying the condition. The medication should be applied according to the doctor’s prescription.
