1, herniated disc and disc herniation: Although it is a word difference but a thousand miles, herniated disc is a very common imaging performance in the modern imaging popular today, and has no practical significance, because whether in the imaging equipment set parameters, scanning position, or in the disc metamorphosis with the population over thirty years old almost no one can be spared, that is to say, no matter which person to do intervertebral disc According to our extensive clinical observation and clinical practice, because of the fullness of the posterior edge of the lumbar 5 sacral 1 vertebral body, it is easy to report a herniated disc on CT, while this gap is the largest because of the tolerance of the spinal canal often has a “herniated disc” but there is no The nerve root symptoms are not present. Therefore, a herniated disc is not clinically significant as long as there are no neurogenic symptoms. 2, the definition of disc herniation: Many patients take the imaging report as the authoritative diagnosis to guide clinical treatment, unfortunately, many of our doctors actually and the patient that imaging report as the only basis for treatment, in fact, a big mistake and a big mistake! The diagnosis of disc herniation as a disease must have the following basic elements to be established (1) symptoms, (2) signs, (3) imaging, and (4) imaging if necessary. It is clear that imaging alone is not tenable and misdiagnosis and misdiagnosis are certain. From the simple medical history you provided me, it does not support the characteristics of disc herniation in any way. Firstly, from the medical history, you do not have radiating pain of nerve roots, intermittent claudication, etc.; secondly, you are mainly complaining of discomfort in the lumbar region, there is no description of dysfunction, and the disc herniation less than 5 mm in lumbar 5 sacral 1 seen by imaging is very normal; meanwhile, the effect of conservative treatment is very certain. So basically we can conclude that you cannot be diagnosed with disc herniation yet. From the treatment you received and the results, you have at best a soft tissue injury of the lumbar region. Congratulations, the disc herniation hat can be removed for you. 3, the standard of cure of herniated disc: there has been a debate on this issue, part of the experts believe that the morphological perfection is an important indicator to evaluate the cure of the disc, but over the years, the general opinion of domestic and foreign is that the functional, patient feeling changes and recovery is the indicator of judgment. The latter view is increasingly endorsed and applied, such as non-surgical treatment, three-dimensional traction technology, massage physiotherapy technology, interventional minimally invasive technology, etc. have been applied by many hospitals is an example, for the following reasons: (1) patients with lumbar disc herniation truly leading to paralysis is almost unlikely; (2) most patients with disc herniation to a certain time limit have a tendency to heal themselves; (3) disc herniation (4) the nerve root has a very obvious forgiving effect (even if the pressure may be painful). 4, the phenomenon of abuse of the term herniated disc: all lumbar and leg discomfort are explained by disc herniation although the patient is easy to understand but the confusion caused is very serious, many treatment methods accurately although the effect is very good but there is no direct effect on the herniated disc, such as “computerized three-dimensional chiropractic, sacral therapy, etc., these conservative treatment methods We have been using these conservative treatment methods for nearly 20 years, and my experience is that they have very good effects on many low back and leg pains that resemble herniated discs, such as: lumbar major muscle injury, lumbar square muscle injury, vertical spine muscle injury, lumbar small joint disorder, nerve root aseptic inflammation and so on. However, many people do not know that these diseases are clinically similar to the symptoms of herniated discs, and it is difficult to distinguish them without a general specialist. Often, a herniated disc is the final word. You are one such case. The last thing I want to tell you is that a herniated disc is not as scary as you think, and you don’t have to be anxious about it. It is recommended that you take the time to exercise more in the future, especially to back muscles targeted exercise, you can feel, not only your existing symptoms can be completely restored, and wait a year after another CT you will find that the disc not only will not increase is likely to disappear it.
