What is the most effective and low-risk treatment for multisegmental thoracic and lumbar disc herniation? Treatments include conservative treatment, including oral medications, massage, physical therapy, traction, plasters, and functional exercises. For milder patients it can be cured. More severe thoracolumbar disc herniation patients can be treated with minimally invasive treatment or open surgery. With the advancement of minimally invasive technology, many of the thoracic and lumbar degenerative diseases, including severe, prolapsed, and free lumbar disc herniation as well as lumbar spinal stenosis, that are hospitalized in our clinic are better treated with minimally invasive surgery.
