What to do with spinal stenosis, spinal cord and nerve root disease

The spine is an important component that supports the body. There is a longitudinal canal at the back, namely the spinal canal. The spinal canal contains the spinal cord, and the spinal nerves pass through the intervertebral foramen. Under the influence of certain factors, the spinal canal becomes narrower, compressing the spinal cord and nerve roots, which can lead to neurological diseases, namely spinal canal stenosis, spinal cord and nerve root diseases. There are three clinical types, including cervical spondylosis, spinal canal stenosis, and intervertebral disc herniation. So what about spinal canal stenosis, spinal cord and nerve root diseases?

1. Drug treatment: This disease often causes symptoms of nerve compression, such as limb numbness, pain, lower limb fatigue, difficulty walking, etc. If the pain is severe, it can be relieved with drugs, usually analgesics or sedatives, and appropriate supplementation of vitamin B1 and vitamin B

2. Supportive treatment: Patients can try treatment with glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, etc. These two drugs have the effect of resisting cartilage decomposition, and can also inhibit the production of inflammatory factors and improve spinal function.

3. Exercise therapy: If the condition is in a chronic state, the patient can receive exercise therapy, which can promote the relief of symptoms.

4. Traction therapy: If the intervertebral disc is herniated, the patient can receive cervical traction therapy, which can relieve nerve compression, muscle spasms, and discomfort symptoms.

5. Physical therapy: Physical therapy includes massage therapy, reflexology therapy, ultrasound therapy, etc., which can effectively relieve muscle tension and spasm, and relieve soft tissue adhesion.

The above are the treatment methods for spinal cord and nerve root lesions caused by spinal stenosis, including drug therapy, traction therapy, physical therapy, supportive therapy, etc. Clinically, there are three types of such diseases, with different degrees of severity and symptoms, and they need to be treated according to different situations. Not all patients are suitable for traction therapy. Long-term traction sometimes weakens the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, but it will aggravate the lesions. If the nerve root compression is severe and conservative treatment is ineffective, surgery must be performed in time.
