The use of infusion therapy for herniated lumbar discs is useful. In fact, infusion therapy is a very important conservative treatment for this type of disease. In clinical practice, anti-inflammatory, anti-swelling, pain-relieving, muscle spasm-relieving and nerve-nourishing drugs can be applied intravenously. Drugs such as mannitol, sodium heptaoside, hydrocortisone and methylcobalamin are often used, which have a faster onset of action and higher blood concentrations when administered intravenously, and are therefore very important in relieving symptoms of acute lumbar disc herniation. However, it should be noted that infusion is only one aspect of treatment for this type of disease, and a series of comprehensive measures are needed, such as strict bed rest, braking rest, continuous lumbar traction and physical therapy such as acupuncture, tui-na, Chinese herbal fumigation and cupping.
