Modern life, due to work and daily habits, coupled with the "help" of mobile phones and computers, has made many young clusters of cervical and lumbar spine more and more burdened. Patients with herniated intervertebral disc usually have a series of clinical symptoms such as waist/neck pain, numbness and pain in one limb.
1. Why do intervertebral disc herniation usually need surgery?
Mild cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation only have uncomfortable or intermittent pain, which can be relieved by oral medicine, traditional Chinese medicine fumigation or physical therapy, which is a temporary treatment. However, if it is accompanied by movement restriction, pain and limb numbness, it is considered to be a more serious patient, indicating that the nervous system is damaged, and a method of treating the symptoms and the root cause is needed. Surgeons often recommend surgery, especially those with a large herniated disc usually recommend surgery! However, some patients have various concerns about surgery, such as worrying about the trauma, spending a lot of money, bad luck and relapse soon.
2. Pain and numbness caused by a herniated intervertebral disc. Is there no other way besides surgery?
In fact, in many pain departments of the top three hospitals, doctors began to complete the treatment only through injections more than 10 years ago without increasing trauma, such as ozone and radiofrequency interventional treatment methods, especially for circumflex incision Interventional therapy technology can actually solve the problem and avoid the high recurrence rate and pain or nerve damage sequelae after other treatments.
3. What is intervertebral discectomy interventional therapy?
Rotary discectomy technology uses a set of very precise micro-rotorotomy (outer diameter 1.2 mm). It is currently the most advanced instrument for intervertebral disc interventional therapy, which can replace surgical treatment and has reliable results. The current clinical use is mainly imported, and domestic produce. The principle of rotational incision treatment is to remove the posterior tissue of the herniated intervertebral disc, gradually retract the herniated intervertebral disc tissue, the inflammation will gradually disappear, reduce the compression and stimulation of the nervous system, promote damage repair, and strengthen the intervertebral disc before passing through the body Repair itself to achieve the goal of radical cure. The treatment is performed under local anesthesia, and the patient has no particular discomfort during the treatment.
4, can the intervertebral discectomy cure the herniated disc? The principle of the
atherectomy treatment is to remove the posterior tissue of the herniated intervertebral disc, gradually retract the herniated intervertebral disc tissue, the inflammation will gradually disappear, reduce the compression and stimulation of the nervous system, promote damage repair while strengthening the intervertebral disc, and then go through The body repairs itself to achieve the goal of radical cure.
Intervertebral discectomy is basically non-invasive and has a short postoperative recovery time. It is an ideal method to replace some surgical treatment. Of course, not all patients with intervertebral disc herniation can be cured by this method. Whether this treatment method can be used or not needs to be checked in the hospital and determined according to the actual situation of the individual. It cannot be generalized.
