What kind of plaster should be applied for lumbar disc herniation

Generally speaking, when faced with diseases such as lumbar disc herniation, many patients will choose drug treatment. Of course, some plasters also have a good effect on lumbar disc herniation. Because of the analgesic effect of the plaster, it can relieve the waist discomfort caused by lumbar disc herniation. So, do you know which plasters are the better choices after suffering from lumbar disc herniation? Here we recommend a few to you.

In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the waist is the house of the kidneys, and lumbar disc herniation is like the kidney house leaking and being affected. In fact, it means kidney deficiency, insufficient blood supply, and less blood stored in the liver. Lumbar disc herniation means "blood cannot nourish the tendons." There are big tendons on both sides of the lumbar vertebrae in the human body. If these big tendons are loose, because the intervertebral disc supports, connects and cushions the lumbar vertebrae, all human body activities involve it. If the tendons are loose and have no strength, the big tendons will come out when a person sneezes with a little force. This situation is not a disease, but a result of liver and kidney deficiency causing blood to fail to nourish the tendons.

Nowadays, many patients with lumbar disc herniation go to hospitals for treatment, and now hospitals perform traction. What is traction? It's just pulling and tugging. Your tendons are already loose, so you can imagine what the consequences of doing this will be. The traction and stretching process may lead to lumbar disc herniation. We all know that the pressure on your intervertebral disc is very small during traction and stretching, but at this time the nucleus pulposus that has already protruded inside the intervertebral disc will not automatically retract into the middle of the bone, that is, traction only temporarily relieves the pressure of the intervertebral disc on the spinal nerves and blood vessels. During the traction process, your bones move in and out repeatedly. After a period of time, you will need surgery. Some patients with lumbar disc herniation believe in modern technology and think that surgery is a good option. Before the operation, the doctor will tell you that the success rate of the operation is only 50%. If it fails, lower limb paraplegia may occur. Even if the operation is successful, your lumbar disc will still protrude if you don't pay attention in the later stages of your life. At that time, you will not be able to continue with the operation and can only have conservative treatment. If you do not choose the right and effective conservative treatment method, then this disease will affect your entire second half of your life.

There are many methods for conservative treatment of lumbar disc herniation, the most common ones are: acupuncture, massage, and plaster application. So why do some people not see much effect after using these common conservative treatments? Please continue reading...

1. Acupuncture therapy in traditional Chinese medicine uses acupuncture points on the body to effectively alleviate symptoms in the affected area, reduce the patient's pain, and achieve the purpose of reducing pressure and relieving pain.

2. Massage mainly on the Shenshu points (on both sides of the waist), twice a day. Massage until you feel soreness in your waist and the pain spreads to your lower limbs. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the Shenshu point belongs to the kidney meridian. Regularly massaging this point can both strengthen the kidneys and relieve low back pain.

3. Applying plaster is one of the common methods of treating bone diseases. Many patients with lumbar disc herniation have adopted this method, but the effect is still not obvious. There are three main types of plasters on the market. The first type is the analgesic type. This type of plaster has a certain relieving and analgesic effect on orthopedic diseases, but it cannot solve the problem from the root of the disease, and thus cannot play a role in rehabilitation. The second type is the therapeutic plaster. This type of plaster must have effective Chinese medicinal materials for treating bone diseases and is processed through current advanced medical technology. It has a therapeutic effect on bone diseases and can achieve rehabilitation. The third type is a health patch. This type of plaster is suitable for use after the bone disease has been effectively recovered. If the orthopedic disease has not been effectively treated and rehabilitated, the use of a health patch will not have any effect! Therefore, patients with lumbar disc herniation must choose therapeutic plasters when choosing conservative external plasters, so that they can effectively achieve the effect of true recovery.

One-month conditioning plan for lumbar disc herniation: protein powder + vitamin B + vitamin C + calcium and magnesium tablets + fish oil. Make sure the amount is sufficient, at least three times the health-care amount. Cooperation: Place pillows on your chest and knees, lie down for 10 to 15 minutes, twice a day. Secondly, combined with pure Chinese medicine external treatment, the effect is absolutely magical. I hope this plan can help more friends with lumbar disc herniation!
