Treatment options for lumbar disc herniation

The treatment of lumbar disc herniation depends on the degree of the condition. When the degree of lumbar disc herniation is mild, conservative treatment methods such as rest and braking, acupuncture, physical therapy, medication and so on can be chosen, while severe cases need to undergo surgical treatment.
Lumbar disc herniation is a common clinical condition. For mild herniated lumbar discs, conservative treatments such as rest and braking, local acupuncture, physical therapy, etc., and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, aspirin, etc., can be taken to alleviate the pain when it is severe.
If the lumbar disc herniation is more serious and presses on the nerves, numbness of the lower limbs, pain, bending difficulty and other symptoms, it is recommended to consult a hospital in a timely manner, if necessary, surgical treatment. The above drugs need to be standardized and rationally used under the guidance of professional physicians and pharmacists.
