Patients with herniated discs should not take surgery lightly

Whether it is a cervical or lumbar disc herniation, the initial onset of the patient must first undergo non-surgical treatment, including mechanical therapy techniques such as Meckenzie, which are commonly used in rehabilitation medicine, there are many misconceptions in clinical practice: 1, diagnostic misconceptions The main focus is on imaging (CT/MRI), which is absolutely wrong. The correct is the patient’s clinical symptoms and signs, combined with the imaging results, if only the imaging results without symptoms and signs is not diagnostic disc herniation. 2, the treatment of misconceptions once you see a herniated disc to choose open surgery, which is also inappropriate. Because most patients can be cured by non-surgical methods, the more urgent the onset, the heavier the symptoms, the better the effect of mechanical treatment. When the doctor wants you to operate you must look at several hospitals to see if there are better non-surgical methods.
