Management of Lumbar Disc Herniation

Lumbar Disc Herniation Management – Dr. Ali Nemati The main goal in managing a lumbar disc herniation is to reduce pain and maintain daily functional ability, while also preventing sensory and motor problems in the lower limbs. • For patients with mild disc herniation, the focus should be on preventing symptom progression: o Correct daily movements o Strengthen core muscles o Maintain proper posture when sitting, standing, and lifting • For patients with severe pain or sensory-motor deficits, fear of surgery should not prevent timely consultation. Visiting a neurosurgeon and spine specialist at the right time can prevent long-term complications and permanent nerve damage. Ultimate goal: Pain reduction, maintaining quality of life, and preventing permanent damage to nerves and limbs.
