massotherapy

(1) Relieve the muscle spasm of waist and buttocks: Patients lie prone, and gently press the affected waist, buttocks and lower limbs to accelerate the blood circulation of the affected part, thus accelerating the absorption of water in the protruding nucleus pulposus, relieving its oppression on nerve roots, and relaxing the tense and spasmodic muscles at the same time, creating conditions for the next treatment.

(2) The intervertebral space is widened and the intervertebral disc pressure is reduced. When the patient lies on his back, pelvic traction is performed manually or by instruments to widen the intervertebral space, thus reducing the pressure or even negative pressure in the intervertebral disc and facilitating the retraction of the protrusion. At the same time, it can enlarge the intervertebral foramen and nerve root canal, and reduce the compression of the protrusion on the nerve.

(3) Increase the pressure outside the intervertebral disc: The patient lies prone, presses the waist with both hands rhythmically, so that the waist vibrates, and then stretches the lower limbs backward under the condition of fixing the affected part, so that the waist is overstretched. This method can promote the retraction of the protrusion or change the position of the protrusion and the nerve root.

(4) Promoting the recovery of damaged nerve roots: Massage, pressing, pressing, rubbing and holding are used along the damaged nerve roots and their distribution areas to promote the circulation of qi and blood, so that atrophied muscles and paralyzed nerves can gradually recover their normal functions.
