WHO CAN UNDERGO SURGERY TO TREAT A HERNIA, AND WHO CAN RECOVER WITH PHYSICAL THERAPY?
Most of the society complains of lower back, back or neck pain at certain periods of their lives. Although these pains are most often due to mechanical, that is, muscle or ligament problems, many of them are also caused by joint degeneration or disc herniation, that is, a hernia. Expert Physiotherapist, who gave information about the treatment of hernia, said:
“As many of us know, a ‘hernia’ is a condition tears the sheaths of the discs between the joints and puts pressure on the nerve roots or spinal cord at that level. In 3% of these cases, surgery is required, while the remaining 97% recover with medication or, in more advanced cases, physical therapy. As is known, the hernia problem causes serious restrictions and labor losses in patients, but long-term relief can be achieved with purposefully planned physical therapy and exercise programs. If it is late for serious complaints, it can sometimes cause irreversible damage, and therefore, especially in the case of signs of power loss, a doctor should be consulted immediately.” said.
Turkey Medicals member and hospital Expert Physiotherapist noted the following regarding the treatment of hernia, which conditions may or may not be surgical:
– Only pain is not enough evidence for surgery, if there is numbness, a further examination should definitely be done.
– Although movement restrictions may suggest a hernia, they often indicate muscle or ligament problems.
– Numbness that occurs only in the hands or feet, although they are signs of a hernia, can be confused with some nerve compression.
– Complaints of chills in the hands and feet are not included the signs of a hernia.
– Muscle strength is the most obvious symptom for surgery, a doctor should definitely be consulted if there is a loss of fingers or ankle muscles.
– Balance problems during walking or falling of hand-held objects are one of the symptoms for further examination.
– Sometimes pains can occur not only in the waist or neck, but also in the leg or arm stimulated by the corresponding nerve, in these cases they should definitely be examined.
