What to do for lumbar bone hyperplasia

Lumbar bone hyperplasia can be diagnosed through X-ray, CT and MRI examinations. X-ray is the most commonly used initial screening method, while CT and MRI can provide more detailed imaging information to help assess the extent of the lesion and the impact on soft tissue.

Lumbar bone hyperplasia is a common degenerative bone disease, which is mainly manifested by the formation of osteophytes and changes in the spinal structure. X-ray examination is usually the first choice because it can clearly show the shape, size and location of osteophytes; CT examination can more accurately reflect the bone details, especially in difficult cases or when three-dimensional reconstruction of the bone structure is required; MRI is mainly used to evaluate soft tissue and nerve compression, such as concomitant symptoms such as intervertebral disc herniation or spinal cord degeneration. Under the doctor's advice, blood tests are sometimes also needed to rule out other causes such as rheumatic diseases.

In order to accurately diagnose and develop an effective treatment plan, patients are advised to seek medical attention and undergo imaging examinations as soon as possible. Symptom progression can be delayed by avoiding long periods of bending over and sitting, exercising regularly (such as swimming and yoga), and maintaining a good sitting posture. In terms of diet, pay attention to the intake of foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, such as milk, tofu, and deep-sea fish, which contribute to bone health. Strictly follow the doctor's instructions and avoid blindly trying informal treatments.
