The Treatment of Lumbar Hernia at Healthwise Clinic: Decompression Therapy and Cryotherapy
A lumbar hernia, also known as an intervertebral disc herniation, occurs when part of the gel-like core of an intervertebral disc bulges and puts pressure on the adjacent nerve roots in the lumbar spine. This can lead to symptoms such as lower back pain, pain radiating to the legs, numbness, tingling and muscle weakness.
