Minimally invasive interventional treatment for lumbar synovial low back pain

Low back pain is a common painful disease in young adults and middle-aged and elderly people, and the most important cause of low back pain and sciatica is often lumbar disc herniation (referred to as lumbar herniation). The treatment of lumbar herniation can be divided into non-surgical conservative treatment, minimally invasive interventional treatment and surgical resection treatment. Surgical resection is mainly applied to those with large herniation or prolapse of the herniated disc causing severe numbness in the lower limbs, and those with combined lumbar spinal stenosis or lumbar spondylolisthesis. The rest can be treated with non-surgical conservative treatment or minimally invasive intervention to relieve the symptoms of low back pain caused by the compression and stimulation of nerve roots, so that the patient can resume normal work and life and achieve the same effect as surgical removal of lumbar discs. Non-surgical conservative treatment mainly involves oral medication, physical therapy traction, and recuperation in a hard bed, until the sterile inflammation near the nerve roots in the spinal canal subsides and the symptoms of lumbar pain are relieved. Conservative treatment is non-invasive and low-cost, but prone to recurrent attacks. Minimally invasive interventions are used in a variety of ways, including intradiscal block, targeted radiofrequency, collagenase lysis, ozone ablation, intervertebral disc spinning and clamping. Compared with conventional surgery, these methods are less invasive, faster recovery, less complications, more thorough in efficacy than conservative treatment, and more inclined to the root cause of treatment, and are the best choice for most lumbar synovial low back pain.
