The treatment of foot numbness caused by lumbar intervertebral disc herniation needs to choose the appropriate program according to the patient’s condition, and there is no such thing as the fastest, which can be treated by physical therapy, drug therapy, surgery and other methods.
1. Physical therapy: if the lumbar disc herniation irritates and presses the nerve root, the foot numbness caused by lumbar traction can reduce the pressure of the herniated disc on the nerves, and at the same time, improve the symptoms with microwave physiotherapy and baking electricity.
2. Drug treatment: you can choose methylcobalamin tablets, vitamin B1 tablets, injectable rat nerve growth factor and other medications as prescribed by the doctor.
3. Surgery: When the symptoms of foot numbness caused by lumbar disc herniation are serious, discoscopy or minimally invasive intervertebral foramenoscopy surgery, decompression of the protruding segments and fusion of internal fixation can be used to relieve the compression and thus alleviate the symptoms.
If the symptoms persist, you should go to the hospital in time, standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor, and avoid excessive weight bearing and bending in daily life.
