HOW IS A HERNIATED DISC TREATED?
如何治疗椎间盘突出?
Making the diagnosis of a hemiated disc, and coming up with a treatment plan depends on the symptoms experienced by the patient, the physical examination findings, and the X-ray and MRI results.
先对椎间盘突出做出诊断,但就治疗方案,要根据病患自身症状,身体检查,X射线以及核磁报告而定。
Only once this information is put together can a reasonable treatment plan be considered.
只有综合这些信息,才能做出合理的治疗方案。
Occasionally, disc herniation is incidentally detected when a test such as an MRI is performed for other reasons.
在”非椎间盘”检测过程中,病患的椎间盘突出可被医生偶然发现,这些检测包括核磁共振检测。
If no symptoms are present, no particular treatment is necessary.
若无明显症状,无需进行特别治疗。
Depending on the severity of symptoms, treatments for a hemiated disc include physical therapy, muscle relaxant medications, pain medications, anti-inflammation medications, local injection of cortisone (epidural injections) , and surgical operations.
根据严重程度,治疗方法包括物理治疗、服用肌肉松弛药、止痛药、消炎药、局部注射可的松以及外科手术。
In any case, all people with a disc herniation should rest and avoid reinjuring the disc.
无论如何,所有突出症患者均需要休息,避免椎间盘再度损伤。
Sometimes, even people with relatively severe pain early on can respond to conservative measures without the need for surgical intervention.
有时甚至对于疼痛感相对严重的病患,可尽早进行保守治疗,无需外科手术。
Most often, treatments of a herniated disc begin conservatively, and become more aggressive if the symptoms persist.
通常情况下,椎间盘突出治疗均从保守治疗开始,若症状没有缓解,加大治疗力度。
After diagnosing a herniated disc,treatment usually begins with rest & activity modification.
诊断证实后,治疗通常从休息&调整日常活动开始。
The first treatment is to rest and avoid activities that aggravate your symptoms.
首先要从休息开始,避免进行一切加重病情活动。
Many disc herniations will resolve in given time.
随着时间推移,许多椎间盘突出会自己好转。
In these cases, it is important to avoid activities that aggravate your symptoms.
避免进行加重病情活动,这一点非常重要。
ICE & HEAT APPLICATIONS
冰敷与热敷
Ice and heat application can be extremely helpftil in relieving the painful symptoms of a disc herniation.
冰敷与热敷可极大缓解疼痛感。
By helping to relax the muscles of the back, ice and heat applications can relieve muscle spasm and provide significant pain relief.
通过放松背部肌肉,摆脱肌肉痉挛,疼痛感也将明显缓解。
PHYSICAL THERAPY
物理疗法
Physical therapy and lumbar stabilization exercises do not directly affect the herniated disc, but they can stabilize the lumbar spine muscles.
物理疗法,腰椎稳定性训练不会直接影响椎间盘突出,但可稳定腰椎肌肉。
This has an effect of decreasing the load experienced by the disc and vertebrae.
降低椎间盘以及脊椎压力。
Stronger, well balanced muscles help control the lumbar spine and minimize the risk of injury to the nerves and the disc.
强劲,平衡的肌肉群可更好控制腰椎,降低神经和椎间盘受伤风险。
