The treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis mainly includes general treatment and medication, physical and surgical treatment, but the specific efficacy varies from person to person, and the term “nemesis” is inappropriate, and clinically do not recognize the so-called nemesis.
1. General treatment: including rest, reduce the load on the lumbar spine, keep warm, etc. Most of the osteophytes do not cause any problems, but they can be treated with medicines, physical therapy and surgery. Most of the osteophytes do not cause obvious symptoms, so you can continue to observe the general treatment temporarily, and then take further treatment when clinical manifestations occur.
2. Drug therapy: commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: such as ibuprofen, diclofenac, etc., suitable for people with obvious pain. Nutritional nerve drugs: such as B vitamins and methylcobalamin, etc., applicable to nerve root compression with sensory impairment. Drug treatment cannot control the progress of the disease, but only as symptomatic treatment.
3. Physical therapy: such as ultrashort wave electrotherapy, infrared ray or ultraviolet ray therapy, etc., which is effective in alleviating symptoms.
4. Surgical treatment: Most of them adopt intervertebral foraminotomy, etc., which is suitable for those who have failed to receive conservative treatment and have serious conditions.
Therefore, people diagnosed with this disease must be under the guidance of doctors, according to the actual situation of the development and adjustment of treatment programs, do not blindly dispose of their own, so as to avoid improper intervention, resulting in adverse consequences.
