Lumbar disc herniation on the inner side of the nerve root can be treated either conservatively or surgically depending on the severity of the symptoms.
1. Conservative treatment: Conservative treatment is suitable for the first appearance of symptoms, mild symptoms, and inability to tolerate surgery.
The main ways of conservative treatment include bed rest (to avoid sedentary, stooping pressure on the lumbar spine), symptomatic use of painkillers to reduce the symptoms of pain (such as celecoxib and other drugs), the use of dehydration drugs to reduce edema (such as mannitol, etc.), but the use of drugs should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, but also can be traction to relieve the symptoms.
2. Surgery: Surgery can be minimally invasive surgery, traditional surgery, etc., to remove the nucleus pulposus and relieve the compression, of which minimally invasive surgery is less traumatic and faster recovery.
It is recommended that patients consult a regular hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instructions, do not blindly use medication.
