Numbness and low back pain symptoms usually disappear at the same time after treatment for a herniated lumbar disc. Symptoms such as numbness in the legs and lower back as well as low back pain caused by a herniated lumbar disc will gradually decrease or disappear at the same time after regular treatment to decompress the nerves. Regarding the numbness and pain caused by the compression of nerves by lumbar disc herniation, the nerve compression can be reduced by traction therapy. In severe cases, electrotherapy, infrared physiotherapy and heat therapy can be used to reduce symptoms, which is beneficial to blood circulation and accelerates recovery. If the effect of conservative treatment is unsatisfactory, surgical treatment can be considered, such as nucleus pulposus removal for lumbar disc herniation; or conventional open surgery, including total laminectomy, hemilaminectomy and so on. In case of numbness and low back pain caused by lumbar disc herniation, the condition is more serious and the course of treatment is relatively long, requiring long-term treatment, which should be carried out under the guidance of specialized physicians.
