Lumbar disc herniation is a common disease among middle-aged and elderly people. Patients usually suffer from waist pain and edema, and severe patients may even have serious consequences of paralysis. Although
is a common disease, many people don’t know what lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is all about. Let’s briefly introduce it. Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is actually a degenerative disease, so most of it occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. On the body, due to the aging of the human body, the fibrous annulus between the lumbar vertebrae is damaged and ruptured. The nucleus pulposus in the fibrous annulus bulges or protrudes outwards, compressing the nerve roots, blood vessels and other structures on the lumbar spine. Tube, resulting in spinal stenosis, which may cause incontinence, paralysis of the lower limbs and other symptoms.
Actually, there are many treatment methods for lumbar disc herniation, which can help patients effectively relieve pain.
1, bed rest
Many people wonder how bed rest can be regarded as a treatment method. In fact, the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation can be treated by bed rest. Through bed rest, a part of the patient’s lumbar disc will be recovered. In this way, it can effectively alleviate the edema of the affected area and relieve the pain of the patient. In addition, it reduces the movement of the patient's lower limbs and reduces the stimulation of the lumbar nerves. Lumbar disc herniation with mild symptoms can be improved after more than a week of training.
2, rehabilitation physiotherapy
For patients’ symptoms, hyperthermia can be used to locally reduce swelling and relieve the symptoms of patients. In addition, it can also be treated by massage, acupuncture and other methods, but it is not necessary to cure it by massage. Realistically, because the herniated lumbar intervertebral disc is caused by degeneration of the body, rather than a simple dislocation, the reduction by violent maneuvers will not achieve good results. On the contrary, it may make the condition serious.
3. Drug treatment
The most obvious symptom of lumbar disc herniation is inflammation. Generally, anti-inflammatory drugs and dehydration drugs are the fastest to treat inflammation. For patients with severe pain symptoms, the hospital will appropriately use hormones for treatment, but excessive The hormones will also have other effects on the human body, so it is only used as an auxiliary treatment method.
4. Surgical treatment
The general lumbar disc herniation should be treated with conservative methods as much as possible. Surgical treatment is often performed for patients with severe lumbar spinal stenosis. If the lumbar spinal canal stenosis is allowed, it may cause the patient to become disabled. The best way to deal with the situation is surgical treatment. The current minimally invasive surgery can also treat lumbar disc herniation. Compared with traditional surgery, it will not cause so much trauma. The patient recovers relatively quickly. After surgery, the symptoms of general patients will be significantly improved. , Can lead a normal life.
