      What are the treatments for lumbar organ stenosis? Lumbar organ stenosis refers to spinal canal structural abnormalities caused by primary or secondary factors, narrowing of the spinal canal cavity, and low back and leg pain mainly characterized by intermittent claudication. Because it seriously endangers the health of patients, patients need early and effective treatment. So, what are the treatments for lumbar organ stenosis?

      Common treatments

      Generally, lumbar vertebral organ stenosis is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, and is a common cause of waist and leg pain and walking weakness in the lower limbs. The cause is that as people age and enter middle-aged and elderly people, lumbar disc degeneration, bone hyperplasia, and ligament thickening cause the space around the nerves to become smaller and compressed. During walking, patients will experience waist and leg pain and lower limb soreness, numbness, weakness, and limp. They cannot walk long distances. In severe cases, it is difficult to walk dozens of meters. Patients often need to squat down and rest for a while before they can continue walking. Then they still need to squat down and rest, and the distance they can continue to walk becomes shorter and shorter. This is because when walking upright, the space in the lumbar spinal canal becomes smaller. At this time, the nerve pressure is aggravated and nerve ischemia is aggravated. However, the patient's cycling is not affected and can ride longer distances. The diagnosis of lumbar organ stenosis requires doctors to establish it based on the patient's symptoms and signs, combined with imaging findings. The diagnosis cannot be established solely based on the patient's clinical manifestations or solely on imaging findings.

      Conservative treatment

      There are many treatment methods at present, including conservative treatment with traditional Chinese medicine for strengthening bones and vertebrae, rest, physical therapy, massage, and medication. The vast majority of patients can achieve better results through conservative treatment. In daily life at home, first, pay attention to bed rest to avoid external compression of the lumbar spine. Second, use other methods to actively exercise waist muscle strength, increase the strength of the lumbar anterior ligament, posterior ligament and side ligament, and prevent intervertebral disc compression from breaking through the normal ligaments and muscle protection of the human body. Strengthening waist muscle exercises can prevent and delay the occurrence and development of lumbar spondylosis and treat early lumbar spinal stenosis. In addition, for low back pain, back pain, lumbar muscle strain and weakness caused by spinal stenosis that compresses nerves and blood vessels and causes ischemia and hypoxia in local lumbar muscles, you can use some commonly used domestic medical supplies, such as Jinzhukang waist pain belt, which has the functions of unblocking collaterals and activating blood circulation, anti-inflammatory and analgesic, and traction and fixation. It can treat symptoms caused by diseases. It has a very good therapeutic effect and can control the disease. According to surveys, among people with well-developed waist muscles and ligaments and high strength, the probability of continued development of lumbar spinal stenosis is reduced by 80%. Therefore, strong exercise of the ligaments and muscles around the waist is of great significance for the treatment and recovery of lumbar spinal stenosis.
