Lumbar disc herniation is a common lumbar disease. The lumbar intervertebral disc is equivalent to a micro-motion joint, mainly composed of a transparent cartilage plate, a fibrous ring, and a nucleus pulposus. Lumbar disc herniation occurs when the nucleus pulposus protrudes from the fibrous ring under the action of external force, compressing the lumbar nerve roots, thereby causing lumbar pain and radiating pain in the lower limbs, known as lumbar disc herniation. Lumbar disc herniation is caused by external force on the basis of lumbar degeneration, mainly manifested as violent and static injuries, such as overexertion, excessive exercise, prolonged sitting without movement, and prolonged standing.

Is the lumbar treatment instrument effective?

The lumbar treatment instrument is generally a supportive treatment method, which has a certain alleviating effect on patients with lumbar disc herniation, but it cannot cure lumbar disc herniation. Therefore, if lumbar disc herniation needs to be treated, it is possible to take blood circulation and blood stasis medicine to treat lumbar disc herniation. If necessary, a lumbar belt can be worn to stabilize the lumbar spine, in order to prevent the herniation and aggravation of lumbar intervertebral disc, and to alleviate the compression symptoms.

Lumbar disc herniation can only alleviate symptoms but cannot be cured. In severe cases, the protruding lumbar intervertebral disc tissue can produce obvious compression symptoms on the spinal cord and nerve roots. If conservative treatment does not alleviate the symptoms, surgical treatment must be adopted to remove the protruding lumbar intervertebral disc. However, because there are many nerves in the spine, there is also a certain risk during surgery. Therefore, surgical treatment is usually only considered when symptoms are very severe and conservative treatment is ineffective. In terms of specific symptoms and treatment plans, it is generally necessary to consider the actual situation.
