Intermediate lumbar disc

Many people may think that there is only one type of disease, lumbar disc herniation. In fact, this is not the case. There are many types of diseases, such as lumbar disc herniation. Depending on the location of the disease, lumbar disc herniation is divided into intermediate type, lateral posterior type, etc. Among them, lumbar disc herniation is the most serious type of lumbar disc herniation. So what should a person do if he suffers from lumbar disc herniation?

There are three types of lumbar disc herniation:

1. Type of lumbar disc herniation: central type

The intervertebral disc protrudes in the center of the spinal canal, and patients with this type have more severe symptoms. The symptoms vary depending on the degree of prominence. In mild cases, the annulus fibrosus is not completely ruptured, and the hernial sac formed by the nucleus pulposus pushes up the posterior longitudinal ligament, which compresses the dura mater sac, causing the anterior and posterior spinal canal to narrow, thus causing compression of the LS coccygeal nerve and adhesion of the dura mater sac and the arachnoid cavity.

2. Side-rear type

This type of lumbar disc herniation mainly occurs in the lateral and posterior part of the lumbar disc, forming a disc herniation in the spinal canal. Moreover, because it is close to the posterior longitudinal ligament, it compresses the inner side of the next nerve root.

3. Lateral rear type

In fact, the main protruding part of this type is mainly on the outer and posterior side of the lumbar intervertebral disc, which is also the weak point of the intervertebral disc, so it is quite common. This type of lumbar disc herniation is mainly because the protruding part is close to the intervertebral foramen or in the lateral recess, and it occupies a part of the space of the intervertebral foramen, which causes the narrowing of the intervertebral foramen, thereby causing blood circulation disorders. Then, during vascular spasm or soft tissue inflammation, the protruding part indirectly squeezes the nerve roots and nerve root sleeves, causing nerve root inflammation, which can even reflexively stimulate the branches of the spinal nerves, causing low back pain accompanied by limb pain and other syndromes.

There are many treatments for lumbar disc herniation. Different treatments should be selected for different periods, different conditions, and different physical conditions. If the method is appropriate, good results can be easily achieved.
