In order to help patients/patients' families have the knowledge and skills to prevent back pain and lumbar disc herniation in daily life and work, below are instructions from Master. Doctor Duong The Vinh, Head of Rehabilitation Department, Vinmec Times City International General Hospital

Bone and joint diseases, especially herniated discs, account for 45-60% of inpatient treatment in neurology departments. The disease is common in people aged 20-50 and tends to increase in young people. Percutaneous treatment of herniated discs under fluoroscopy is an effective method commonly used today.

Lumbar disc herniation is a disease with a fairly high incidence rate, causing many uncomfortable symptoms for patients such as pain, numbness, swelling in the back, even causing muscle atrophy, paralysis,... Herniated disc surgery is one of the treatment methods to effectively control this disease.

Spinal degeneration is becoming younger and causes many unpredictable complications such as pain, numbness in limbs, vestibular disorders, disc herniation, muscle atrophy, quadriplegia, even disability,... Therefore, it is necessary to detect and treat the disease early to prevent and avoid dangerous complications of the disease.

Herniated disc is a disease caused by the nucleus pulposus escaping from the fibrous disc, then compressing other organs and causing pain to the patient, so X-rays cannot detect the disease in its early stages. When the nucleus pulposus has spread out, compressing the nerve roots, encroaching on the spinal cord, and deforming the vertebrae, X-rays can help doctors diagnose the disease.

Lumbar syndrome has two component syndromes including spinal syndrome and nerve root syndrome. Examination of lumbar syndrome is a method performed to detect symptoms of the above two syndromes, thereby making a definitive diagnosis.

Lumbar disc herniation causes compression of the spinal nerves, some exercises help people with disc herniation. However, some movements make the condition worse.
