How to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation at different stages

1. Treatment of lumbar disc herniation with traditional Chinese medicine in the acute stage: Generally, the treatment is based on bed rest and external application of traditional Chinese medicine with warming.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of lumbar disc herniation during the remission period: acupuncture, massage, traction and rapid three-dimensional traction (i.e. adjustment of the lumbar facet joints while traction) can be performed. A herniated nucleus pulposus is very difficult to reposition, and even if it is repositioned with difficulty, it is impossible to return to its original position. Traction and massage can improve the relationship between the nucleus pulposus and the nerve roots, thereby alleviating symptoms. In addition, adjustment therapies such as audio electrotherapy can also be performed.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of lumbar disc herniation during the recovery period: functional training is the main method, and more back and waist muscle extension exercises are performed to enhance the strength of the back and waist muscles and strengthen the support and protection of the lumbar spine.

4. Through the combined treatment of the above methods, the condition of about 90% of patients can be relieved and about 30% of patients can be cured.

The following two situations can be considered for TCM treatment of lumbar disc herniation:

First, the patient has a clear diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation and has surgical indications, but is unwilling to undergo surgical treatment;

Second, the CT scan did not reveal any changes in the lumbar disc herniation, but the patient suffered from constant pain in the waist and legs. This type of patients is by no means rare in clinical practice, and an MRI examination should be performed at this time to determine whether there is disc degeneration, namely black disc disease. Black disc disease, like lumbar disc herniation, is the root cause of low back and leg pain, and is clinically known as discogenic lower back pain.
