Lumbar disc herniation is mainly caused by various reasons that the intervertebral disc protrudes outward, which can compress the nerve root and cause a series of symptoms. Depending on the specific condition, it can be dealt with in orthopedic department, pain department or rehabilitation department.
1. Orthopedics: If there is an obvious herniated lumbar disc, it needs to be treated with disc surgery (discoscopy or laminotomy), and needs to go to orthopedics for treatment.
2. Pain Medicine: The herniation itself is not obvious, but it causes obvious pain and discomfort that cannot be tolerated by the individual, so it can be treated in the Pain Medicine Department.
3. Rehabilitation: mild disc herniation, intended for conservative treatment, can go to the rehabilitation department to do a series of rehabilitation physiotherapy for recovery.
Further investigation is mainly through clinical examination and imaging examination comprehensive judgment, protrusion is particularly obvious, need to choose surgery for treatment, the specific circumstances need to be standardized under the guidance of clinicians.
