Acupuncture treatment of lumbar disc herniation is effective or not, should be analyzed according to the patient’s condition, as follows: 1, lumbar disc herniation degree and symptoms are relatively light, the course of the disease is relatively short patients, acupuncture treatment has a certain effect, because the vast majority of lumbar disc herniation, can be conservative treatment to achieve good therapeutic effect, the treatment method includes bed rest, as well as lumbar physiotherapy, acupuncture, tuina, Massage, as well as lumbar traction, small knife treatment, pain is more obvious can be oral anti-inflammatory drugs and nutritive drugs for nerve treatment; 2, if after standardized conservative treatment, the symptoms are not relieved, or progressive aggravation, then the needle knife treatment is ineffective, and it may be necessary to perform incision surgery in order to completely lift the disease, because lumbar herniated discs are mainly due to degenerative changes in lumbar vertebrae, leading to intervertebral disc herniation, which can lead to the degenerative change of lumbar vertebrae. Because lumbar disc herniation is mainly due to degenerative changes in the lumbar spine, resulting in the demyelination of the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral discs, the volume of the intervertebral discs becomes smaller, the mobility increases, and the discs protrude backward, thus compressing the nerve roots of the spinal cord and causing clinical symptoms.
