Non-surgical treatment of lumbar spine disease applicable people Most of the patients with lumbar pain through the use of conservative treatment to obtain satisfactory results, of which the following types of patients with more obvious results. 1, lumbar muscles caused by simple back pain patients Lumbar pain does not necessarily have spinal structure problems, lumbar pain patients, 80-90% of the spine and intervertebral discs do not have major problems, but only a little fatigue or strain of the lumbar muscles. This kind of patients can be completely relieved by hot compresses and physical therapy. 2, low back pain time is not long patients The longer the low back pain treatment time the more difficult to cure patients. At the beginning of low back pain, if you receive regular treatment it is easy to relieve and eliminate pain, while the possibility of recurrence is also small, but patients with recurring low back pain, due to a variety of treatments are intertwined, so the later on any one of the conservative treatment methods will not produce significant results. Patients whose pain has not yet radiated to the legs The herniated disc causes leg pain when it compresses the nerves in severe cases, and it is generally difficult to eliminate the symptoms through conservative treatments for such patients who have been accompanied by leg pain. Even if the disc is herniated, the effect of conservative treatment is obvious when the nerve is not yet compressed. Surgery for Lumbar Spine Disease Lumbar pain, but as long as the pain can be relieved by treatment or the pain is mild and tolerable, it is necessary to continue to use conservative treatment. Normally, you should strengthen your lumbar muscles through exercise to prevent lumbar pain from recurring, and when lumbar pain recurs you should prefer medication, physical therapy or injections, but not blindly avoid surgery. The fear of not having surgery when it is due can lead to rapid deterioration of the condition and serious damage to the spine. Surgery is not a way to further damage the diseased lumbar spine, but rather a final treatment to try to restore it to a normal lumbar spine. Aging of the lumbar spine means that the lumbar spine is less functional than when it was younger. It is generally accepted that the lumbar spine can be fully restored to normal after surgery. Unfortunately, surgery eliminates the pain, but it can only further weaken the structure of the lumbar spine itself. In this case, the muscles and ligaments should be strengthened through active exercise, otherwise the lumbar pain will return with age. After tooth erosion the eroded portion is scraped off and then filled with a hard substance as a replacement, whose surface is covered with a hard and corrosion-resistant substance to protect the tooth. Despite this treatment, it is certainly not as strong as the previous tooth and will always be just a replacement for the original function. The same goes for the spine, surgery can eliminate the pain, but it is impossible to restore the spine to its normal structure, so surgery should only be used as a last resort. Indications for Surgery for Herniated Lumbar Discs There are cases where surgery is the only solution, and this percentage is about 10 to 20 percent of all patients with herniated lumbar discs. If surgery is avoided or postponed for various reasons, the condition may deteriorate rapidly, producing nerve paralysis or even complete necrosis of important nerves. Therefore, if you miss the optimal time for surgery and then undergo surgery, the slightly paralyzed nerves may recover, but the function of the necrotic nerves can never be restored. In that case, how can you tell if it is the best time for surgery? Although this timing is still left to the doctor’s judgment, patients should actively cooperate with the doctor to consider undergoing surgery in the following cases. (1) lumbar disc herniation history of more than half a year, by strict conservative treatment is ineffective; or repeated episodes of symptoms are more serious; chronic disc herniation patients with pain and numbness suddenly worsened and bed-ridden; (2) the first episode of severe pain, lower extremity symptoms, seriously affecting the life of the person; the body is very strong, when the lumbar spine is subjected to a strong impact, not only the muscles and ligaments are damaged, the fibrous ring wrapped nucleus pulposus also produces a tear. When the lumbar spine is subjected to a strong impact, not only the muscles and ligaments are damaged, but also the fibrous ring that wraps the nucleus pulposus. When suddenly lifting heavy objects or falling from a high place, it can also lead to disc rupture. (3) Symptoms and signs of single nerve palsy or cauda equina nerve compression. Surgery should be performed when pain radiates to the neck of the foot and toes and numbness develops. Surgery is advisable when nerve compression is further aggravated, resulting in dullness of sensation in the leg and difficulty in walking due to weakness. (4) When there is progressive aggravation of the cauda equina nerve compression symptoms, that is, urinary and fecal dysfunction is an indication for emergency surgery; many people in this case do not go to the hospital, but to try other methods of delay. When they have to go to the hospital after a day or two of delay, they have missed the best time for surgery, even if recovery from surgery is not possible or complete. It is very painful and regrettable to see these patients with urinary and bowel difficulties and sexual dysfunction whenever they are seen.
