The decision that treatment is needed is made based on CT, MR imaging alone A: Nowadays, a lot of patients come to the clinic and just as soon as they see the physician, they take out the CT or MR film and say; “Physician, I have a herniated disc in my lumbar spine and I need to do interventional treatment.” There are also patients who go to the hospital and the physician does not say a word, does not ask about the medical history, picks up the CT or MR film and says: “Open up and put on a plate”. This is a big misconception, because a normal person can have a herniated lumbar disc. There are three main elements in the treatment of lumbar herniation: (the three elements must be complete to do treatment) 1, clinical symptoms: low back pain, leg pain 2, physical examination: 3, imaging: lumbar spine CT, MR, X-ray plain film Also, imaging (CT, MR) examination has a herniated / bulging disc, but no clinical symptoms, do not do any treatment!
