Standardized non-surgical treatment of lumbar synostosis (I)

Lumbar bulging disc syndrome is a common and frequent disease in the outpatient clinic for low back pain, and the incidence of lumbar bulging disc syndrome has been on the rise in recent years and is becoming younger, which has brought great negative impact on people’s work and life. The reason for this may have a lot to do with people’s poor labor, living and eating habits. In recent years, it has been found that lumbar synostosis may also have a certain degree of genetic correlation. At present, about 85% ~ 90% of the patients with lumbar synostosis can use non-surgical treatment to achieve satisfactory results, the indications for non-surgical treatment include: 1, the first onset of the disease, the disease course of a shorter period of patients. 2, although the disease course of a long time but the symptoms of the disease. 2, although the disease course is long, but the symptoms and signs are mild, and the symptoms can be relieved by themselves after rest. 3. Those who have small volume of herniated discs, no calcification and no combined spinal stenosis by CT or MRI. Elderly patients who are too old to tolerate surgery or who do not participate in physical labor. 5, systemic diseases or local skin diseases can not perform surgery. Bed rest is a basic, traditional and effective method of treating lumbar disc herniation. When symptoms flare up, you should immediately and absolutely rest in a hard bed. Lying on a padded wooden bed can make the soft tissues of the lumbar region get sufficient relaxation and rest, relieve muscle spasm, promote blood circulation and transport away pain-causing substances, which can significantly reduce pain and restore function. Generally in the beginning of a week need to be absolutely bedridden, three weeks or so to allow wearing a waist cuff out of bed activities. In addition, after vigorous traction or massage therapy, bed rest is generally required for a period of time to protect the waist and consolidate the effect of treatment. In short, the bed rest method is simple, without any side effects, although the course of treatment is longer, but the therapeutic effect is true. Many patients with herniated disc can choose this method of treatment. Second: drug therapy, including Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. Western medicine mainly relies on steroids and non-steroidal drugs to play the role of anti-inflammatory and analgesic, but also with dehydration, vitamins, hormone drugs, but long-term use of many adverse reactions and side effects. Chinese medicine classifies lumbar synostosis as “paralysis”, which can be broadly divided into several categories according to the identification of the type of sunset and kidney deficiency, wind-cold occlusion, dampness-heat stagnation, phlegm and blood stasis, and other major types of dialectical treatment.
