Intervertebral hernia (or hernia of the intervertebral disc), is called a disease in which the pulpoose core in the intervertebral disk shifts, while tearing the fibrous ring in which it is located. Often, similar hernias are found in the lumbar spine, less often in the cervical.
Many people ask about how to treat intervertebral hernias and is it possible for effective treatment. But fortunately for them, modern medicine answers this question with confidence. If you have everything, you managed to get the intervertebral hernia, then you should not panic ahead of time, since, often the symptoms of this disease, after six weeks, completely disappear. According to the results of Vromen studies, in 2002, in 73% of patients, without the use of surgical interventions, the symptoms of intervertebral hernia passed after 12 weeks, from the moment of their manifestation.
It should be remembered that surgical treatment of intervertebral hernia should be considered by doctors as the most extreme treatment, as well as necessarily after generally accepted conservative treatment did not give positive results. The conservative treatment of this disease means special therapy using anti -inflammatory drugs, which uses the so -called (NSAIDs).
However, in very rare cases, treatment is effective with corticosteroids. Another method of treatment of intervertebral hernia is traction therapy that can reduce the size of the hernia by drawing a pulpoose core inside the intervertebral disc.
From the above, you can conclude that the intervertebral hernia is not such a terrible disease. Moreover, it can pass by itself, without the use of surgical treatment, but consult a doctor, when this disease is detected, is necessary as soon as possible.
