Can lumbar disc herniation plus bone hyperplasia be cured?

Lumbar disc herniation accompanied by bone hyperplasia can be treated with comprehensive means to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. It is necessary to choose the appropriate method according to the specific condition. Do not delay on your own. In severe cases, seek medical attention in time.

Lumbar disc herniation refers to the protrusion of the nucleus pulposus inside the intervertebral disc compressing the nerve roots, causing back pain or lower limb numbness, while bone hyperplasia is a compensatory response of the body to the imbalance of intervertebral stability. The two often coexist in middle-aged and elderly people. This combination may aggravate the compression of the affected nerves, causing more obvious discomfort and even affecting normal activities.

Controlling symptoms requires a multi-faceted approach. Mild and moderate conditions can be treated conservatively, such as physical therapy, hot compresses, traction, etc. to relieve pain. Moderate core muscle exercises can also help stabilize the spine and reduce pressure on the nerves. Drug treatments include anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants, which can reduce inflammation and relieve muscle tension. For serious conditions that cannot be relieved, modern medical surgical methods are relatively mature, such as minimally invasive discectomy or removal of hyperplastic tissue, but surgical risks and recovery periods also need to be fully considered.

In daily life, you should avoid excessive weight on your waist or sitting for long periods of time. You can choose an ergonomic chair to protect your lumbar spine. Using a mattress with a moderate hardness when sleeping helps maintain the natural curvature of the spine. Adding foods rich in calcium, vitamin D and antioxidants to your diet can help maintain bone health and relieve inflammation. If symptoms repeatedly worsen or are accompanied by incontinence, you should seek medical attention immediately.
