At present, there is no clear scientific evidence to prove that traditional Chinese medicine can cure lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, traditional Chinese medicine is only used as an auxiliary means of treatment, the current lumbar intervertebral disc herniation treatment mainly relies on non-surgical conventional treatment minimally invasive and surgical and other ways.
Patients with lumbar disc herniation need to choose the suitable Chinese medicine according to the identification of evidence, such as kidney yin deficiency with Zuo Gui Pill, kidney yang deficiency with Yu Gui Pill, damp-heat type with Si Miao Pill, and cold-damp paralysis with Gan Jiang Ling Jiao Tang, and so on. However, Chinese medicine can only play a certain auxiliary effect in treating lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, and can’t achieve a curing effect.
At present, the main way of treating lumbar disc herniation is to rely on non-surgical treatment methods, such as bed rest and exercise the strength of lumbar muscles traction therapy, massage therapy and so on. Minimally invasive surgery to eliminate the herniated nucleus pulposus of the lumbar intervertebral disc in order to relieve the pressure on the nerves is a new treatment method in recent years, and the effect is also very good.
Surgery refers to removing as much diseased tissue as possible without removing bone and cartilage tissue to achieve therapeutic effect, and the main surgical methods are open window method, half laminectomy and total laminectomy.
Patients with lumbar disc herniation are advised to go to regular hospitals for treatment as soon as possible, and if you need to use traditional Chinese medicine, please use it under the guidance of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner, and do not delay your condition by unauthorized treatment.
