How should lumbar disc herniation relieve pain and how to treat it?

Lumbar disc herniation can be relieved by traction therapy, use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, discectomy and other methods.

First, traction therapy is helpful to treat lumbar disc herniation. When the patient lies on his back, the pelvis is fixed with a pelvic belt, and the patient's lumbar spine is pulled by a pulley block, a traction rope and a heavy object, so that the intervertebral space is widened, the pressure of the intervertebral disc is reduced, and the capacity of the spinal canal is expanded, thereby alleviating the stimulation or oppression of nerve roots, relieving the symptoms of low back pain and numbness of lower limbs, and achieving the purpose of treating lumbar disc herniation.

Second, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs are commonly used in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation and are the first-line drugs for the treatment of low back pain. Such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium, etc. Relieve symptoms such as low back and leg pain by eliminating inflammation. Long-term use of these drugs may cause adverse reactions, such as dizziness, headache, tinnitus, drowsiness and insomnia.

3. Discectomy is divided into two types: intervertebral disc endoscope and intervertebral foramen endoscope, which is the process of taking out the protruding nucleus pulposus through minimally invasive technology. Surgery can completely remove the protruding or herniated nucleus pulposus, remove hyperosteogeny, treat spinal canal stenosis, repair the damaged fibrous ring by radio frequency technology, and eliminate the pain caused by nerve compression, thus achieving the purpose of treatment.

In addition, you can also add some points that need attention here.

Maintaining good living habits can alleviate lumbar disc herniation to some extent, such as maintaining correct sitting and standing posture, keeping warm at the waist, sleeping on a hard bed and so on. Try to avoid sitting for a long time, catching cold at the waist, bending over with load, etc.
