Most lumbar disc herniation can be cured by conservative treatment, and a few need surgery. You can choose the best treatment method according to the severity of the disease, and you must not blindly treat it. The following are several common and effective treatments, but the specific symptoms need to be analyzed in detail and cannot be generalized. I would also like to remind you that lumbar disc herniation can be cured, and the key lies in the choice of methods. Therefore, a positive attitude and a correct and objective understanding are the basic attitudes that every friend with disc herniation should have.

1, surgical treatment

Why should surgical treatment be given priority? Because surgical treatment is the most direct and effective from any angle. The purpose of the operation is to directly remove the nucleus pulposus of the diseased lumbar intervertebral disc, relieve the nerve root compression, and achieve the therapeutic purpose. However, there are many uncertainties in surgical treatment. Due to the limitation of the special physiological position of the lumbar spine, the operation destroys the normal physiological structure of the lumbar spine, and the operation injury is large, which is easy to cause a series of adverse reactions such as postoperative instability of the lumbar spine, postoperative scar tissue adhesion, and accidental injury of nerve roots during the operation. Therefore, surgical treatment is also the most serious and meticulous treatment.

2. Chinese medicine hot compress therapy

Many people may be unfamiliar with this therapy, but according to the feedback from nearly a thousand patients after treatment, this therapy has an extraordinary therapeutic effect on lumbar disc herniation. On the one hand, it can inhibit the continuous development of disc herniation, on the other hand, it has obvious effect on pain, numbness and swelling caused by lumbar disc herniation, which can be seen in the repair and recovery of disc herniation. However, its formula and application method are also the key, and the effects of different formulas will vary widely.

3, waist function exercise

Here are several common exercise methods, which can change the function of lumbar spine and improve lumbar disc herniation.

1, reverse walking: The treatment principle of reverse walking is to move the center of gravity backward, gradually change the position of the center of gravity of the lumbar spine, correct the lumbar spine, change the stress of the lumbar spine, relieve the pressure of the original damaged intervertebral disc and improve low back pain. Walk backwards for 40 to 60 minutes every day. Try to lean back when walking, and feel a little tired after walking, but do not aggravate the symptoms. Walking backwards is the easiest way to exercise lumbar disc herniation.

2, swimming: swimming is more suitable for patients with lumbar disc herniation, and it is a good exercise method for lumbar disc herniation. However, attention should be paid to the correct swimming posture and the water temperature in the swimming pool should not be too low. Before swimming, full preparation activities should be carried out, swimming time should not be too long, and there should be a certain interval during exercise to avoid excessive waist fatigue.

3, sit-ups: once in the morning and evening, each time 10~20. Although it is a simple exercise method for lumbar disc herniation, it should be moderate.

4. Pull-ups: People with good physical fitness can do shoulder pull-ups, and people with poor physical fitness can also hang on one shoulder and two feet for a while, and then rest when their hands are tired, repeating it many times a day.

5. Swallow-flying: The patient lies prone on the hard bed, with his arms straight at his sides, and his head, shoulders and arms lifted backward. At the same time, his legs stretched out and lifted upward, making his whole body like a flying swallow. After lifting it, he will relax and do exercises repeatedly 10 times. Patients with mild lumbar spondylosis can generally get obvious improvement in 3~6 months.

4. Physical therapy includes electrotherapy, infrared radiation, hyperthermia and other methods, and its therapeutic purpose is basically the same as massage and acupuncture. It is mainly to relieve the clinical symptoms of patients, not radical measures. Because most patients with lumbar disc herniation are accompanied by chronic lumbar muscle strain and piriformis muscle tension, the nerves pressed by lumbar disc herniation cause low back and leg pain and muscle spasm at the place where the nerves pass, general hospitals will use physical therapy, massage, acupuncture and other treatment methods to relieve muscle tension and spasm. Therefore, all patients who have done physical therapy know that it will be more comfortable when doing physical therapy, and it will be the same after not doing it.

5. There are other surgical treatments, such as traction therapy, blocking therapy and small needle knife therapy, which are not elaborated one by one. Interested friends can consult the information for details. There are many treatments for lumbar disc herniation, but the treatment purposes are different. Some are only temporary anti-inflammatory and analgesic, some are directly removed, and some are slowly recovered. Everyone should choose the treatment method that suits them best so as not to delay the treatment.
