Lumbar osteophyte formation causes serious harm to the physical and mental health of patients, making many patients feel exhausted physically and mentally. Therefore, the treatment of lumbar osteophyte formation is an important issue to solve. But how exactly should lumbar osteophyte formation be treated?
How to Treat Lumbar Osteophyte Formation
Surgical Treatment: Surgical treatment is not the first choice for treating lumbar osteophyte formation. When conservative treatments are ineffective and the condition is severe, significantly affecting the patient's life, surgical treatment can be considered.
Non-Surgical Treatment: There are several methods:
1. Massage and traction. Massage and traction rely entirely on external force, focusing only on local treatment while neglecting overall internal regulation. Therefore, they can only provide temporary pain relief and cannot achieve the goal of treating lumbar osteophyte formation.
2. Direct current drug iontophoresis. This method fully utilizes the effects of drugs, but because the medication is liquid and volatile, its efficacy is not long-lasting, limiting the effectiveness of this treatment method for lumbar osteophyte formation.
3. Ultraviolet therapy: (1) Sterilization; (2) Anti-inflammatory; (3) Pain relief; (4) Promotes wound healing; (5) Desensitization; (6) Promotes the formation of vitamin D3; (7) Regulates the body's immune function, etc.
4. Medication treatment. Western medicine often uses symptomatic treatment for lumbar osteophyte formation. However, practice has shown that these treatment methods are not ideal as they only address the symptoms without treating the root cause, making it easy for the condition to recur.
5. Acupuncture: Acupuncture can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and relieve pain. It can eliminate local edema and inflammation, but for osteophyte formation, acupuncture can only play a supporting role.
