Misunderstanding of lumbar disc herniation

Misunderstanding one: low back pain is not sick. According to statistics, about 95% of low back pain who have had life experiences. Low back pain caused by diseases involving almost all body systems. Some of the primary disease cure low back pain, the pain disappeared, some died heal. Some patients with low back pain is not it so that disease. In fact, low back pain caused by lumbar disc herniation considered not only disease, and must pay close attention. Because the disease can not only lead to low back pain, but also cause numbness, cold, weakness, paralysis and even large, urine barriers seriously affect quality of life.
Misunderstandings 2: low back pain be cured. Lumbar disc herniation is characterized by recurrent episodes, particularly neurological disorders, the repair process longer. Therefore, some patients, even some non-medical professionals also believe that lumbar disc herniation not cure. In fact, the overall treatment of lumbar disc herniation results are very good, excellent rates of about 95%. The so-called incurable two reasons: First, improper selection method, and second, there is no treatment adherence. Some patients have heard that a new treatment where go where the rule, but where can persist, eventually running a number of areas are not ideal.

Misunderstanding number three: a method of superstition. Lumbar disc herniation surgery and non-surgical treatment of two types of therapies. The latter there traction, massage, internal and external agents, percutaneous absorption, collagenolysis and so on, it should be said which method can cure some patients, but which method can cure all patients, even in some cases, some therapy is contraindicated. Therefore, the right attitude is the basis of clinical symptoms, signs, course selection for each imaging examination of patients with specific therapies, can not be exaggerated, superstition, a particular therapy, can not resist a certain kind of subjective treatment.

Mistakes of the four: a misunderstanding of the operation. Most patients with lumbar disc herniation non-surgical therapy can relieve or cure, but some patients need surgical treatment. Surgery in the treatment of this issue, there are two opposite errors: First blind operation, and second, refused surgery. The former believe that only the operation of lumbar disc herniation can be eradicated, so long as it is non-selective lumbar intervertebral disc, as long as the patient agreed to surgery. The heavier the patient unnecessary financial burden while increasing the "failed back surgery syndrome" from happening. In fact, indications for surgery of lumbar disc herniation is very strict, and surgical treatment of lumbar disc herniation is not the first choice, and the latter surgery nerve injury caused by the negative impact of enlargement, that the firm can not do surgery, and blindly conservative treatment. It should be said, some indications for surgery after conservative treatment in patients with major symptoms can be alleviated, they always left a number of symptoms difficult to improve, while the majority of surgical indications conservatively treated patients can not replace any need surgery, but the sooner the more good, otherwise, the loss of neurological function may become permanent, and therefore, to dialectical treatment of surgical and conservative issues can not easily operation and can not blindly conservative.
