I have a lot of emotions in life, the work is not outstanding, the results are not outstanding, and the waist disc is too prominent. Lumbar disc herniation is not terrible, there are many treatment methods, there is always one suitable for you! Well, it's not a matter of time, the introduction of lower lumbar protrusion treatment methods are as follows:
conservative treatment
conservative treatment is a treatment plan that many patients with lumbar disc herniation can accept, and it is also a conventional method used for the first time. After strict and systematic conservative treatment, the condition of most first-onset patients will be significantly improved or even cured. It is strongly recommended.
Advantages : No surgery, low psychological burden, low cost and no need to worry about surgical complications.
Disadvantages : The illness is prone to recurring, and even unhealed for a long time, affecting daily life and work.
The specific plans include: strict bed rest treatment, local hot compresses, mannitol dehydration, blood circulation, swelling and pain relief and symptomatic treatment. After the acute phase, you can do five-point support, swimming, and lifting horizontal bars. You can follow the doctor's advice.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
At present, the lumbar minimally invasive technique is booming, which is the future development trend. It has the characteristics of less damage, good recovery after surgery, and good curative effect. At present, the key population is young and elderly patients. The reason is that young friends do not want to have open fusion surgery too early, and older patients cannot tolerate the trauma of open surgery.
1. Interventional technology mainly includes radiofrequency thermocoagulation, radiofrequency ablation, low-temperature plasma radiofrequency and other surgical methods. A needle or electrode is used to directly reach the lesion, heating or ablation and other means to reduce the size of the intervertebral disc and relieve symptoms. There are many minimally invasive operations in this part. Pain rehabilitation doctors are doing it, and orthopedic doctors rarely get involved. Of course, there are differences between regions, and the cost is about 20,000 yuan.
2. Spinal endoscopy technology There are mainly surgical methods such as intervertebral foraminal mirror and intervertebral disc mirror. The operation under the mirror can be operated directly and accurately remove the compression. It has the characteristics of simple operation, small trauma, and high puncture technology requirements. There are certain shortcomings. The probability of recurrence, the operation cost is about 30,000 yuan.
Minimally Invasive Surgery is a kind of surgery after all, and there will also be surgical complications, such as infection, recurrence, etc. It is recommended to make a choice based on your own situation and the advice of your doctor.
open surgery
is what common people generally think of as a broad operation, which is divided into anterior approach, posterior approach and intervertebral foraminal approach. The latter is the most commonly used. The advantage is thorough decompression, stable fusion, low recurrence probability, and the disadvantage is large trauma , High cost, slow recovery, increased risk of degeneration of adjacent segments, infection and other complications. Due to the different prices of internal fixed consumables, the cost is about 40,000-60,000 yuan. For those patients with recurrent lumbar disc herniation, conservative treatment ineffective or severe neurological symptoms, the classic open surgery has the advantages of definite curative effect, good intervertebral disc resection and less recurrence after operation.
Summary : Lumbar disc herniation is not terrible, and it is wise to take appropriate treatment measures. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital to find a professional doctor for detailed physical examination and listen to pertinent suggestions. Tips: It is best to find three hospitals for consultation separately, and it is more reliable to consider them together.
