How long does it take to recover from a herniated lumbar disc after radiofrequency

The recovery time after radiofrequency for lumbar disc herniation is generally about one month, and the recovery period for patients with preoperative combined nerve injury needs about 3~6 months, which varies from person to person. 1. General condition: Radiofrequency treatment for lumbar disc herniation is a kind of minimally invasive treatment, i.e., the nucleus pulposus of the diseased vertebrae will be ablated by radiofrequency ablation, which will make it degenerate and necrotic, so as to achieve the therapeutic purpose. In mild cases, patients can wear a waist cuff the next day after the operation to carry out activities on the ground, and basically can recover after about 4 weeks of lumbar back muscle training. 2. Special cases: a small number of patients with preoperative combined nerve injury after radiofrequency ablation, the recovery period should be longer, generally need to go through a recovery time of about 3 to 6 months. Although radiofrequency ablation can decompress the nerve roots, it cannot repair the compressed or damaged nerves, and nerve repair needs to be carried out by the organism itself, and 3-6 months after the operation is generally the golden period for recovery. After the operation, you should adjust your lifestyle, don’t stand for a long time and don’t sit for a long time, and check up in time.
