For patients with lumbar disc herniation, if the symptoms are mild, the stability of the lumbar spine can be enhanced through timely strengthening exercises. After strengthening, the degeneration will slow down, thus reducing the symptoms. Regular checkups are necessary. If the symptoms worsen, surgical treatment needs to be considered, and there are many types of surgical treatments, which need to be considered and arranged according to the actual problem of the patient. Conservative treatment
For the treatment of herniated lumbar discs, first of all, the doctor will recommend the use of conservative treatment to carry out, to take conservative treatment, the patient himself will not experience too much pain.
Surgery can be considered if the patient's symptoms are not relieved after conservative treatment. There are many types of surgical treatment options, including minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery and invasive traditional open surgery. The advantages of each are obvious. Minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery is less invasive, but is prone to recurrence after surgery. The main risk of traditional open surgery is the possibility of postoperative recurrence and the possibility of infection of the incision, which should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. And after their own treatment, they need to be regularly reviewed, and be careful, not to aggravate the degree of lumbar spine strain.
