How to relieve stiffness in the lower back caused by lumbar disc herniation?
Lumbar disc herniation is very common in clinical settings. The peak incidence age is around forty, typically in middle-aged adults, though some cases occur in the elderly due to degenerative lumbar changes, bone proliferation, or osteoporosis-induced herniation. Patients with lumbar disc herniation usually experience discomfort in the lower back, muscle spasms, and sometimes numbness and soreness in the legs. If such stiffness and discomfort occur, one approach is to rest in bed. Additionally, applying heat, gentle massage, and treatments to relieve muscle spasms can be beneficial. Treatments such as acupuncture and physiotherapy can also help alleviate muscle spasms in the lumbar region, thus easing the stiffness.
