How to read MRI of lumbar disc herniation

How to interpret lumbar disc herniation by MRI?

Lumbar spondylosis is related to muscle strain. If you keep the same posture for a long time, the muscles are always in a tense and straight state, which will lead to lumbar disc herniation, ligament calcification, etc., which will compress some surrounding tissues, nerves and blood vessels and produce related symptoms. MRI is done to better diagnose the condition. Regular Chinese medicine hospitals use acupuncture, massage, traction, medium frequency and other methods. If there is no effect, surgery may need to be considered. This is a chronic disease, so the treatment is relatively long. Three points treat seven points. Usually pay attention to keeping warm, be careful not to work with a low waist, choose a hard mattress when sleeping, the lumbar spine has a physiological curvature, and you can put a small pillow on the waist to relax the waist muscles. You can play badminton and swim appropriately. These exercises can help you exercise your waist muscles and strengthen the strength of the ligament muscles, thereby reducing the pressure on the intervertebral disc.

MRI shows that the color of the intervertebral disc is black, indicating that the intervertebral disc is degenerated, indicating that the time is relatively long and it is not freshly protruded. The first is conservative treatment, and surgery is the last treatment method. General conservative treatment: massage traction, acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, taking Chinese medicine, exercise and other conservative treatments. It is necessary to pay attention to exercise or carrying heavy objects, which can induce and aggravate. We need to sleep on a hard bed and pay attention to waist sprains, fatigue, cold, dampness, etc.

Lumbar disc herniation is mainly caused by insufficient kidney qi, blocked tendons and meridians, and stasis of meridians, which is difficult to cure with general drugs. Conventional treatment methods such as surgery, blockage, traction, physical therapy, infrared, massage, massage, acupuncture, and manual reduction have no definite effect. Chinese medicines such as Rhizoma Cistanches, Radix Angelicae Pubescentis, Radix Glehniae, Fructus Spatholobi, Fructus Millettiae, Papaya, Eucommia, Fructus Psoraleae, Fructus Lycii, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Radix Cibotii, Cynomorium Songaricum, Fructus Monk, Folium Epimedii, Rhizoma Drynariae, Radix Aconiti Lateralis, Radix Aconiti Lateralis, Fructus Cyperi, Fructus Astragali, Fructus Lumbriae, etc. are used. These drugs can nourish the liver and kidney, replenish essence and marrow, strengthen tendons and bones, promote blood circulation and activate collaterals, reduce swelling and relieve pain, and treat both the symptoms and the root causes, thereby achieving the purpose of treatment.
