Clinically, the treatment of lumbar disc herniation usually involves the following three aspects. The first is conservative treatment, which is mainly for those patients whose lumbar disc herniation is not very severe and does not cause substantial compression of the nerve roots and spinal cord. The first step includes general treatment, that is, after developing a lumbar disc herniation, one needs to lie flat in bed, rest on a hard bed, and then rest. The second is treatment with Chinese herbal medicine, the third with Western medicine, and the fourth is traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation treatment, which includes traction, massage, acupuncture, and others. There is also physical therapy, which includes treatments like shockwave thermotherapy and microwave therapy. Often, some patients experience symptom relief after conservative treatment. There are also some patients whose symptoms do not improve during treatment, and even worsen, at which point surgical treatment is needed. Surgical treatment has its strict indications. However, once within the range of these indications, surgical treatment should be considered. Surgical treatment now is divided into minimally invasive therapy and conventional surgical treatment. The third is other treatments, which are also numerous, including ozone therapy, sacral canal treatment, intradiscal injections, and so on. Therefore, the treatment of lumbar disc herniation mainly depends on the degree of protrusion and clinical symptoms, which are analyzed comprehensively to select a suitable treatment method.
