What good method is there to treat lumbar disc herniation?

The common methods to treat lumbar disc herniation include acupuncture, external application and oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine, traction, massage, hyperthermia, nutritional nerve therapy, surgical treatment and so on. Lumbar disc herniation refers to the degeneration of nucleus pulposus, cartilage plate and fibrous ring of lumbar disc. The fibrous ring ruptures under the action of external force, and the nucleus pulposus protrudes backward from it. Even fell into the spinal canal. A disease that compresses nerve roots. Common local radiation pain in waist and legs. Symptoms such as numbness of both lower limbs, pain and weakness, unstable walking and even abnormal urination and defecation. The severity of the disease is divided into four grades from low to high, namely, bulging, bulging, prolapse and prolapse. The bump is the lightest. At this time, the annulus fibrosus is still intact and the nucleus pulposus is still in the intervertebral disc. Protrusion is the most common, which means that the annulus fibrosus has broken and the nucleus pulposus partially protrudes from the intervertebral disc, but it is still within the scope of the posterior longitudinal ligament. Protrusion refers to the broken parts of fibrous ring and ligament, and the nucleus pulposus has fallen into the spinal canal, which may lead to spinal canal stenosis. When the nucleus pulposus completely falls into the spinal canal, it will inevitably lead to spinal canal stenosis and obvious nerve compression symptoms. When lumbar disc herniation is still in the stage of mild bulging or protrusion, conservative therapy, such as acupuncture, external application and oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine, traction, massage, hyperthermia and other physical therapy methods, combined with the use of nutritional nerve drugs such as mecobalamin, can effectively relieve symptoms. When the condition is serious enough to prolapse or even prolapse, for example, after 2-4 weeks of non-surgical treatment, the symptoms are still not relieved, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. In the absence of obvious surgical contraindications, it is feasible to relieve symptoms through surgery. After the patient recovers, it is suggested to avoid sitting for a long time and do lumbar functional exercise, such as swallowing exercise, which can effectively reduce the possibility of attack.
