The effectiveness of massage therapy for patients with lumbar disc herniation depends mainly on the severity of the patient’s condition. In case of mild lumbar disc herniation, the patient can relieve the compression of the nerve root through massage, improve the blood circulation around, release the adhesions and eliminate the inflammatory reaction of the nerve root, so as to achieve the effect of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and effectively improve the symptoms caused by lumbar disc herniation. Patients are recommended to choose the massage treatment by professional physicians in the massage department or acupuncture and physiotherapy rehabilitation department of the hospital. The massage area is usually the painful part of the lower back, and the massage can be combined with hot towels to help relieve the pain. But for serious lumbar disc herniation, massage and other conservative treatment is usually ineffective, then you should choose surgery, such as minimally invasive intervertebral foramoscopic nucleus pulposus removal surgery. In addition to massage physiotherapy, after massage patients can be localized with ointment application, which helps to relieve pain, usually should avoid prolonged standing and sitting and heavy physical labor, which is conducive to lumbar health.
