Lumbar disc herniation refers to the injury type of clinical symptoms caused by the local outward expansion of disc morphology. It is caused by uneven and asymmetric degeneration of intervertebral disc and almost full-thickness fracture in some areas of annulus fibrosus.
Recently, I saw a problem about lumbar intervertebral disc: the lumbar intervertebral disc is serious, which leads to weakness, trouble, no obvious pain and even some cold feeling in the lower body. What should I do if I have made many small needle knives in the hospital without results?
Small needle knife is a method between operation and non-operation, and its essence is a kind of dissolution that can go deep into the focus. It is widely used in the treatment of many common pain problems, such as long-term pain caused by muscle adhesion caused by knee joint injury or long-term strain. Use a small needle knife to peel it off locally and then relieve the pain.
Similarly, for the problem of lumbar disc herniation, it is necessary to cut and peel off the surrounding tissues with a small needle knife to reduce local compression, thus alleviating nerve symptoms such as pain. If the diagnosis is correct, make an accurate evaluation, make clear the position that the acupotomy should treat, that is, the specific position that causes these symptoms, and then perform the operation scientifically and safely, which should have certain effects, even in a period of time just after treatment.
There may be the following reasons for not relieving after treatment:
(1) Symptoms such as weakness and numbness in the lower body are not caused by lumbar processes.
In addition to lumbar process, there are other problems that can also lead to numbness and weakness of lower limbs, such as weakness and strain of hip muscles, especially piriformis injury, which compresses sciatic nerve and leads to numbness of lower limbs. In addition, it is also possible that the cauda equina nerve is compressed, that is, the nerve in the sacral foramen behind our pelvis and below our lumbar spine is compressed. If so, it is useless to treat only the waist. You need to go through a series of examinations and evaluations to make sure that your diagnosis is ok.
(2) The machining position is incorrect
The part that really needs treatment has not been determined before treatment, or it has not been completely treated during treatment. The effect will not be obvious.
(3) Changes of blood vessels and nerves in lower limbs.
Because long-term nerve compression has shrunk the nerves and blood vessels of the lower limbs, or caused a large area of adhesion, even if the pressure on the part that caused the problem is released, the symptoms will still exist.
So for how to solve the problem, I suggest the following methods:
(1) Go to a professional hospital or institution for more detailed and specific evaluation and inspection to determine the problem;
(2) Pay attention to the warmth of the waist and lower limbs, and stick to constant temperature water of about 40 degrees for 20-30 minutes every day. Because no matter what causes the weakness and numbness of the lower limbs, keeping warm and soaking feet will promote the blood circulation of the lower limbs and reduce the cold of the lower limbs;
(3) Appropriate exercise, including the core and lower limbs. Because part of the symptoms may be caused by muscle weakness, and then the symptoms appear more weak and do not move, resulting in a vicious circle. Even if the symptoms are relieved after acupotomy treatment, the muscle strength is not strengthened, and symptoms may appear after a few activities. So you have to cooperate with some training anyway.
