What to do with thoracic and lumbar bone hyperplasia

What should I do if I have thoracic and lumbar bone hyperplasia?

Thoracolumbar bone hyperplasia is closely related to degenerative changes in articular cartilage disease and often occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. As people age, their physiological functions gradually decline and age. At this time, the intervertebral disc will gradually become unbalanced in nutrition, and the intervertebral space will become narrower.

So what should we do about thoracic and lumbar bone hyperplasia?

The main cause of bone hyperplasia is related to the degenerative lesions of articular cartilage. Lumbar vertebrae bone hyperplasia is caused by the gradual decline of physiological functions of various tissues and cells in the body with the increase of age after middle age. The degenerative intervertebral disc gradually loses water, the intervertebral space narrows, the annulus fibrosus relaxes and expands to the surrounding, the vertebral body is unstable, and the annulus fibrosus tears outside the edge of the vertebral body, resulting in nucleus pulposus protrusion, elevation of the periosteum of the posterior longitudinal ligament, and the formation of new bone underneath.

1. Non-surgical treatment:

Rest: Depending on the severity of the disease, you can choose to rest in bed, have general rest, or limit your activity.

Bone-setting massage and physical therapy: can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, dredge meridians, and regulate tendons and restore muscles.

Drug treatment: External plaster can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, relax muscles and tendons, reduce inflammation and relieve pain, so as to achieve the purpose of treating both the symptoms and the root cause. During the treatment, pay attention to keeping warm and eating a balanced diet.

Acupuncture treatment: This is a treatment method for bone hyperplasia. Acupuncture can promote blood circulation, has an analgesic effect, and can eliminate local edema and inflammation, but for bone hyperplasia, acupuncture can only play an auxiliary role.

2. Surgical treatment:

Surgery is not the first choice for lumbar spondylosis. When conservative treatment is ineffective, the condition is serious, and seriously affects the patient's life, surgical treatment can be considered. The lumbar degeneration process, in addition to age changes, is also closely related to lumbar strain. Long-term stimulation of the lumbar spine by adverse factors such as repeated strain and excessive activity may accelerate the degeneration of the lumbar spine and increase the formation of intervertebral disc herniation and bone hyperplasia.
