Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is one of the more common diseases, mainly because all parts of the lumbar intervertebral disc, especially the nucleus pulposus, have different degrees of degenerative changes. Under the action of external factors, the adjacent spinal nerve roots are stimulated or compressed, resulting in lumbar pain, numbness and pain in one leg or both legs, and a series of clinical symptoms. For most patients who are clinically diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation, the most concern is what they need to pay attention to daily.
Generally speaking, after suffering from lumbar disc herniation, you need to pay attention to the following points:
(1) bed rest. Associate Professor Wang Jian, deputy director of the Department of Joint and Orthopedic Surgery of Nanfang Hospital, pointed out that if it is a first-time patient, it should be strictly bed rest at this time to ensure better results. Special attention should be paid to patients who try not to bend over and hold objects within 3 months to reduce the chance of recurrence of herniated disc disease.
(2) Traction therapy. At this time, can use pelvic traction according to its own reality to increase the width of the body's intervertebral space, and ultimately reduce the internal pressure of the intervertebral disc, thereby reducing the body's existing compression. It should be noted that it should be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor.
(3) Physical therapy and massage. This kind of method is actually a relatively good treatment method. Through this operation, the spasm of the muscles of the body can be relieved, thereby reducing the pressure in the intervertebral disc, but the patient friends must pay attention to the strength and avoid violent operations.
(4) surgical treatment. Associate professor Wang Jian reminded that if lumbar disc herniation affects life, some of the above-mentioned conservative treatments cannot be improved, but when the symptoms are getting worse, surgery may only be possible.
Most patients with lumbar disc herniation can be relieved by the above-mentioned non-surgical treatment methods. If the condition is serious, medication or surgery should be performed as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition. We should pay attention to combining our own actual situation, it is best to refer to the professional opinions of clinical doctors, and then accept the corresponding diagnosis and treatment, which can often guarantee a relatively good effect in the end.
Through the above simple description, I believe that people should have a better understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. In fact, the disease of this type of patients is still mild symptoms of lumbar spine disease. If patients can perform symptomatic diagnosis and treatment in time at this time, they can often avoid unnecessary harm to a large extent. Therefore, clinical patients must pay attention to the lumbar spine disease during this period and take timely symptomatic treatment measures.
