What is the best way to treat lumbar disc herniation?

The common methods of treating lumbar disc herniation include acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, traction, massage, heat therapy, nutritional nerve therapy, surgery and so on. Lumbar disc herniation refers to the lumbar disc nucleus pulposus, cartilage plate, the annulus fibrosus appears degenerative lesions in the external force, the annulus fibrosus rupture, the nucleus pulposus protrudes backward from it. Even fall into the spinal canal. Compression of the nerve root of a class of diseases. Common localized radiating pain in the lower back and legs. Numbness, pain and weakness of both lower limbs, unsteady walking and even urinary and fecal disorders. The degree of severity of the disease from low to high is divided into 4 levels, respectively, bulging, protrusion, prolapse, prolapse. Dilatation is the mildest. This is when the annulus fibrosus is still intact and the nucleus pulposus is still inside the disc. Herniation, the most common, means that the annulus fibrosus has ruptured and the nucleus pulposus has partially protruded from the disc but is still within the posterior longitudinal ligament. Prolapse, where both the annulus fibrosus and the ligament have ruptured and the nucleus pulposus has fallen into the spinal canal, at which point spinal stenosis may occur. Prolapse, the nucleus pulposus has completely fallen into the spinal canal, which inevitably causes spinal stenosis, and the symptoms of nerve compression are obvious. When the lumbar disc herniation is still in the stage of mild bulging or herniation, conservative treatment is often chosen, such as acupuncture, Chinese medicine, traction, massage, heat therapy and other physical therapy methods, together with the use of nutritive neurological drugs, such as methylcobalamin, which can effectively alleviate the symptoms. When the condition is so severe that it is prolapsed or even prolapsed, if the symptoms are still unrelieved after 2~4 weeks of non-surgical treatment, which has a serious impact on the quality of life of the patient, surgery can be performed to relieve the symptoms if there are no obvious contraindications to surgery. Patients are advised to avoid sitting for a long time after healing, and to perform lumbar functional exercises, such as the swallow fly exercise method, which can effectively reduce the possibility of seizures.
