Moxibustion cannot cure a herniated lumbar disc, but it has a definite effect in aiding the treatment of a herniated lumbar disc. The role of moxibustion for lumbar disc herniation is as follows: first, moxibustion has the effect of heat, which can reduce the accumulation of inflammatory substances and relieve pain, while stabilizing the lumbar spine and reducing muscle spasm. The second, moxibustion can also stimulate acupuncture points to achieve the effect of Shujin Tongluo, reduce the nucleus pulposus of the lumbar intervertebral disc on the nerve root compression, relieve the nerve root due to pressure caused by ischemia, have Shujin Tongluo, increase blood circulation, but moxibustion is only the role of external application, the lumbar intervertebral disc has penetration and auxiliary treatment effect, and can not cure lumbar disc herniation. If the herniated lumbar disc is very large and the nucleus pulposus is compressing the nerve roots or spinal cord more seriously, or even if there are adhesions, it needs to be completely solved by drugs, Chinese massage, acupuncture, physiotherapy or even surgery.
