The main content of the article is that a 29-year-old female patient began to have pain in her right leg six months ago, and she felt abnormal and had no incontinence. About 5 months ago, MRI (lumbar magnetic resonance vibration) showed that lumbar disc herniation led to spinal canal stenosis and nerve root compression.

Patients choose conservative treatment: physical therapy and epidural injection of glucocorticoid (mainly anti-inflammatory and analgesic). Five months later, the second nuclear magnetic resonance, as shown below.
Obviously, the prominent lumbar intervertebral disc has recovered. That is to say, under the condition of no operation, only conservative treatment is carried out, and it is possible to readmit the prominent lumbar intervertebral disc through sports rehabilitation and other means (mainly referring to the process of producing new water after the broken fibrous ring is repaired).
The reason is:
The human body has the ability to repair itself (fibrous ring can repair itself, but it takes a long time and requires certain treatment methods)
Drug therapy can play an anti-inflammatory and analgesic role in the acute stage, which can effectively relieve pain and provide support for subsequent sports rehabilitation.
The role of sports rehabilitation in it.
1. Some simple exercises with small amplitude, such as the first step of scissoring legs, can exercise the deep muscles near the lumbar intervertebral disc (make it stronger), reduce the pressure on the lumbar intervertebral disc and promote its repair.
2. Some stretching exercises, such as lying on your back and bending your abdomen, can relax the muscles in your back and promote muscle flexibility.
3. For example, the stretching exercise of flexor nerve can reduce the pressure of sciatic nerve, promote its nerve recovery, and effectively relieve pain, numbness and other symptoms.
4. Some intensive exercises, such as hip lifting in lateral position, can enhance the strength of the back core muscles and effectively reduce the recurrence rate of lumbar disc herniation.
Generally speaking, muscle recovery takes 3 months, but nerve recovery takes longer, so sports rehabilitation is a long-term process. Of course, the exercise rehabilitation here is not simply doing any exercise at will, and it needs detailed evaluation to judge what exercise needs to be done according to specific symptoms and other information.
