Shockwave treatment for lumbar disc herniation?

Shockwave can treat lumbar disc herniation, mainly as an adjunctive treatment for the disease, and can have the effect of reducing local pain and soreness symptoms. Because shock waves can promote local blood circulation and improve the local sterile inflammatory state, but shock waves cannot cure the symptoms of neuropathic pain in the lower limbs caused by lumbar disc herniation. Nerve pain in the lower extremities is mainly caused by the compression of nerve roots by herniated discs, so to solve the problem of nerve compression, surgical treatment is required, and open surgery, radiofrequency ablation surgery, and intervertebral foraminoscopy technology can be used to completely remove the compression-causing material in order to completely relieve the radiological pain and numbness in the lower extremities caused by lumbar disc herniation.
