Symptoms caused by lumbar disc herniation compressing the nerve roots of the lower limbs are mostly accompanied by radiating pain in the lower limbs, and only about 5% of the people who simply show numbness without pain. This is mainly the spinal nerve roots within the proprioceptive and tactile fibers are stimulated, the numbness of the feet depends on the number of involved nerve root sequence. The main root of the disease is still in the lumbar spine.

If it is determined that the lumbar disc herniation, compression of the nerve, and is in the acute phase of the attack period, it is necessary to bed rest, combined with the external rubbing of medicinal wine, external application of traditional Chinese medicine, traction, taking pills, nutrients, anti-inflammatory pain medication, a combination of in order to improve the recovery. Of course, it is best to go through a doctor's examination, clear, and then do the appropriate treatment. According to Chinese medicine, lumbar disc herniation is mainly due to kidney qi deficiency, impassable tendons, meridian stasis, the current treatment is divided into three kinds: conservative treatment, minimally invasive treatment, surgery.

1, conservative treatment is drug treatment, long time, low cost, slow effect. At present, there is no specific drug for cervical spondylosis, and the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants and tranquilizers used are symptomatic treatments. Chin-pillow band traction is suitable for all types of cervical spondylosis other than spinal cord type; neck brace and collar are mainly used to limit excessive cervical spine activity, and the patient's action is not affected; massage has the effect of reducing muscle spasm and improving local blood circulation in early cervical spondylosis other than spinal cord type; physiotherapy: it can accelerate the inflammatory oedema to subside and the effect of relaxing the muscles; self-care therapy: it can benefit the neck and shoulder to change the posture and make gentle neck and upper limb movement in the course of work regularly. Self-care therapy: change posture regularly at work, make neck gentle activities and upper limb exercise, which is favorable to the regulation of neck and shoulder muscle relaxation and improve blood circulation.

2. Minimally invasive therapy is a kind of treatment method between conservative treatment and surgical treatment. It is low cost, quick effect, no incision and painless. Can fundamentally lift the focal point of the adhesion of the pain produced by the stubborn disease. Usually pay attention to keep warm, appropriate activities.

3, surgical treatment is a diagnosis of cervical spondylosis by non-surgical treatment is ineffective, or recurrent authors, or spinal cord cervical spondylosis symptoms progressive aggravation of the person is suitable for surgical treatment.

In conclusion, if the discomfort is caused by a herniated lumbar disc, physical therapy and traction can be utilized to relieve it. Usually pay attention to the lumbar warmth, do not always bend over, usually have a good sitting posture, sleep bed should not be too soft.

I hope the above answer can help you.

The authoritative interpretation of Pharmaceutical Affairs, unauthorized reproduction, plagiarism will be punished.

For a lumbar disc herniation patient, once the numbness of the toes, it belongs to the nerve root compression and irritation is heavier or longer, which is the distal symptom of the nerve, compared with other low back pain recovery time is slightly longer.

Diagnosis should be accurate

First from the symptoms to determine, which disc caused by the symptoms, this is the precondition that we are dealing with the problem, positioning accurate is to improve the recovery rate is extremely important aspects, it is estimated that you have done CT or MRI, found that there is a lumbar intervertebral herniation of the existence of the lumbar intervertebral herniation, but this does not mean that the numbness of your toes must be caused by lumbar herniation of intervertebral discs!

L4-5 disc herniation

If you have numbness in your toes, near the big and second toes, or with lower back pain, pain or numbness in the outside of your buttocks, outside of your thighs, outside of your calves, and also imaging a herniated disc at L4-5, a herniated disc at L4-5 may be considered first.

L5-S1 disc herniation

If you have numbness in your feet that manifests on the outside of your little toes, accompanied by lower back pain, pain or numbness in the back of your buttocks, back of your thighs, back of your calves, and a herniated L5-S1 disc in your imaging exam, you can first consider the possibility of a herniated L5-S1 disc.

If none of the symptoms are consistent with the above manifestations, or if there is only numbness in the toes, even if a lumbar spine CT or MRI reveals the presence of a lumbar disc herniation, it may not necessarily be a lumbar disc herniation causing numbness in the toes, and it is necessary to further analyze what is causing the numbness in the toes.

concluding remarks

If the foot numbness caused by lumbar disc herniation, in the same side of the lower lumbar spinal protrusion next to the 2cm or so there will be a pressure point, pressure may appear numbness of the toes, eliminate this radioactive pain point, the foot numbness can disappear, for some long-term foot numbness of the patient, the recovery will be slower, if the other symptoms have disappeared, only the foot numbness, you can stop the treatment, live a normal life, to give the body time to recover can be, and some may take three months! Some may take three months to half a year!

Numbness is caused by compression. Withdrawal of the compression and numbness will usually return, but long-term compression may lead to nerve degeneration and necrosis, and subsequent treatment will be very troublesome. There are two ways to release the compression, one is bed rest, the upright position will make the lumbar spine load too much, compression of the nerve. The prone position will reduce the load on the lumbar spine and the nerve compression may be relieved. The second is surgery, remove the broken lumbar disc, can make the compression lifted, the symptoms of relief, as for massage, physical therapy drugs, etc., or can relieve the symptoms, fundamentally can not solve the problem.

Lumbar protrusion, numbness in legs and feet, keep the first lumbar vertebral joints dislocation with patrol Jing chiropractic manipulation slowly reset, must find a formal professional Chinese medicine clinically experienced to understand the eight outlines of the change of the disease yin and Yang, five elements of the phases of the medical science understand the acupoints, professional and formal will be point point treatment Chinese medicine practitioners, working in the more than twenty years of clinical experience in Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine, said the urgent treatment of the symptoms, that is, the onset of the cause of how to cause the disease, slow cure the root of the problem is to treat the root slowly, the lumbar protrusion Numbness of the legs and feet, dangerous, numbness, gas through the blood did not pass, wood, gas and blood are impassable, wait until the foot walk step on the ground to step on the same soft as cotton, people will be paralyzed, I cured very difficult, that is, my mother cured more than a year to cure. It is very difficult to cure, and all kinds of diseases are caused by the syndrome.

Numbness in the toes due to a herniated lumbar disc is usually caused by nerve compression. The method is to release the nerve compression. Including manipulation, physical therapy, drug therapy, caused by herniation, compression of the nerve, soft tissue inflammation and edema and other symptoms. Medication is very important. At the same time can be combined with physical therapy. The effect is better. At the same time, we should also see if it is caused by poor peripheral blood circulation.Seriously have questions to follow on WeChat.

Lumbar disk herniation, conservative physical therapy is best, traction, with massage 💆 baked electricity, etc., serious must be surgery, my experience. Wish patients a speedy recovery!
