What is the difference between a herniated disc and lumbar spinal stenosis?

First, the concept is different. Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is a nerve root disease in which the nucleus pulposus protrudes into the spinal canal and produces radicular symptoms, while lumbar spinal stenosis refers to a syndrome that causes clinical symptoms due to various reasons such as lumbar spinal nerve root canal or foraminal stenosis. Second, there is a history of trauma from lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, and the symptoms are sometimes mild and sometimes severe, and the patient does not dare to cough when it is severe.

Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis often have no history of trauma, have a long course of disease, and have persistent and progressive worsening symptoms. Clause.

3. During the examination of the patient, the lumbar intervertebral disc herniation patients have limited lumbar forward flexion, tenderness and radiating pain at the lesion, and nerve root compression consistent with the lesion site, such as paresthesia in the lower limbs and feet, muscle weakness, and loss of tendon reflexes. Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis have limited posterior extension of the lumbar spine and lack obvious manifestations of nerve root compression. Fourth, the photographic performance is different.

Lumbar spinal stenosis shows less than normal spinal sagittal signs on CT, MRI, myelography and other examinations, but not lumbar disc herniation. Fifth, there is a significant difference in the age of onset. Most of the patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation are middle-aged and young, while the majority of patients with spinal stenosis are middle-aged and elderly.

In the later stage of lumbar disc herniation, due to the synovial inflammatory exudative reaction of the corresponding facet joints, the wear and tear of the articular cartilage, resulting in the appearance of hyperplasia osteophytes at the posterior edge of the vertebral body and the articular process, secondary to lumbar spinal stenosis. When the two diseases occur at the same time, patients can show symptoms and signs of both at the same time, and clinical diagnosis is usually not difficult.

Lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar disc herniation are two different diseases, although these two diseases are problems that appear in the waist, but lumbar spinal stenosis refers to the patient's lumbar spinal stenosis, and lumbar disc herniation refers to the patient's lumbar disc degeneration and other problems, so in daily life, we should pay attention to distinguish these two diseases to avoid mistakes that affect life.

Lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar disc herniation are both diseases that appear near the waist, because the appearance of these two diseases may cause problems such as pain in the patient's lower back, which may affect the patient's judgment, lead to the patient's wrong ** physical problems, and affect the normal recovery of the patient, so it is important to correctly distinguish between these two diseases. So, what is the difference between lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar disc herniation?

1. **Different.

Lumbar spinal stenosis may be caused by congenital spinal hypoplasia, or it may be caused by trauma, inflammation, etc. The cause of lumbar disc herniation may be caused by pregnancy, genetic factors, injury, etc., or it may be caused by abnormal development of the patient's lumbar spine.

2. The location of the disease is different.

Lumbar spinal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the lumbar spinal canal and intervertebral foramina, which compresses the patient's cauda equina nerve and other positions, while lumbar disc herniation refers to the degeneration of the lumbar intervertebral disc and compresses the nerve root and other positions.

3. **Different.

Patients with mild lumbar spinal stenosis are mainly treated with drugs, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, nutritional neurological drugs, etc., to alleviate the problem of stenosis and prevent the onset of symptoms, but if the patient's problem is more serious and has affected normal life, then it needs to be carried out by surgery**. If the symptoms of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation are not serious, then the symptoms can be relieved by drugs, such as muscle relaxants, glucocorticoids, etc., and pain and other problems can also be relieved by massage, physiotherapy and other methods, but if the symptoms have threatened normal life, then it is necessary to perform surgery to prevent the aggravation of symptoms.

To sum up, it can be known that lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar disc herniation are two different diseases, but the impact of these two diseases on the lumbar spine is relatively large, so it is necessary to carry out ** in time to avoid the severity of physical symptoms. Moreover, patients should also exercise properly in their daily life to strengthen the muscles of the body and help alleviate physical problems.

Lumbar disc herniation is a symptom of lumbar disc degeneration, aging and compression of nerves, while lumbar spinal stenosis is a decrease in spinal canal volume caused by various reasons, such as discs, ligaments, and osteophytes that reduce the volume and squeeze nerve roots, resulting in lumbar spinal stenosis.

He is mainly due to the compression of the nerve caused by the loss of elasticity and toughness of the fibrous annulus, resulting in the protrusion of the nucleus pulposus, it is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for external application**.

The main thing is to take soft and hard drugs to **can be thorough**.

You make an exception to fibrosis caused by compression of the nerves so that the easy-going is prominent. However, the main reason for fibrosis exceptions is that fibrosis loses its elasticity and willfulness. You are now mainly treating the root cause rather than the symptoms, and it is recommended that you use traditional Chinese medicine for external application**.

The main thing is to take the software to discuss the drug to **can be completely ** so as to soften its protrusion.

Improves metabolic circulatory function.

Restoring the elasticity and willfulness of fibrosis can be done thoroughly.

A herniated disc can lead to spinal stenosis, which is not necessarily caused by a herniated disc.

Lumbar disc herniation occurs at a relatively young age, and is a symptom of compression of nerves after the rupture of the annulus fibrosus. Lumbar spinal stenosis is caused by the deformation of the spinal canal itself. The clinical manifestations of lumbar disc herniation are mainly leg numbness, and lumbar spinal stenosis is mainly the inability to walk.

The cause of lumbar spinal stenosis is not only a herniated disc.

**。1. Lumbar spinal stenosis is mainly due to congenital spinal canal hypoplasia

or acquired factors (e.g., degeneration, trauma, inflammation, etc.).

Caused by lumbar spinal stenosis.

The wear and tear caused by osteoarthritis of the spine promotes the formation of osteophytes, which can grow into the spinal canal and compress the spinal cord and nerve roots.

In addition, degeneration of the spine and Pagot disease can also cause bone hyperplasia in the lumbar spine, resulting in spinal stenosis.

It mainly refers to the lumbar intervertebral disc, especially the nucleus pulposus, after degenerative changes, under the action of external factors, protruding (or prolapsing) into the posterior spinal canal, resulting in spinal stenosis.

The ligaments in the spinal canal will gradually calcify and thicken as the spine degenerates.

The most common are the ligamentum flavum and posterior longitudinal ligament, where the thickened ligament protrudes into the spinal canal and can cause spinal stenosis.

Car accidents and other trauma can result in a dislocation or fracture of one or more vertebrae, resulting in a decrease in spinal volume and compression of the spinal nerves in the spinal canal.

At the same time, after back surgery, hematoma and tissue swelling may occur, which may also cause compression on the spinal cord or nerve roots.

Relative slippage of vertebral bodies between adjacent bodies leads to secondary stenosis of the spinal canal.

Stenosis of adjacent segments after laminectomy and spinal fusion.

Fractures of the vertebrae of the spine, trauma and excessive movement can worsen symptoms.

Diseases of the endocrine system, metabolic system, rheumatic immune system.

and tumors often lead to the onset of lumbar spinal stenosis.

Is lumbar spinal stenosis caused by a herniated disc? is one of the causes of the cause.

Lumbar stenosis generally refers to lumbar spinal stenosis, and in most cases, there is a close relationship between lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar disc herniation, especially if the lumbar disc herniation is more severe, it may lead to lumbar spinal stenosis.

Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is mainly a series of clinical symptoms produced after intervertebral disc herniation, mainly manifested as low back pain, leg pain, and leg numbness, but lumbar spinal stenosis is often a kind of imaging description, mainly the narrowing or narrowing of the lumbar spinal canal lumen area, if the narrowing is more serious, lumbar spinal stenosis will be formed.

Its main manifestation is intermittent claudication, which is mainly manifested as weakness and soreness in both lower limbs after walking for a certain distance, and active rest for 30 seconds to 1 minute to be able to continue walking.

In addition to lumbar spinal stenosis caused by lumbar disc herniation, there may be local bone hyperplasia or hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum.

Lumbar spinal stenosis can be caused by a herniated right lumbar disc, but other factors such as ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and vertebral bone hyperplasia can also cause spinal stenosis. If the diagnosis is a significant lumbar disc herniation, spinal stenosis, and traction**, there are many ways to reduce pain and be good**.

As for how lumbar spinal stenosis is caused, in fact, lumbar spinal stenosis is a very common spine surgical disease, and the reasons for this condition are congenital genetic factors and acquired factors, and acquired factors are the main cause of spinal stenosis. Degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis: mostly due to degenerative changes of the spine.

Traumatic spinal stenosis: Spinal stenosis can occur when a patient's spine is traumatized, especially if it is more severe or dislocated.

A herniated lumbar disc can lead to lumbar spinal stenosis, which is not always due to a herniated disc. Lumbar spinal stenosis can occur due to hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum or bony hyperplasia of the lumbar spine, or due to congenital spinal tract development.

Lumbar spinal stenosis is not entirely caused by lumbar disc herniation, it is caused by the combination of various elements to the end of the lumbar spinal stenosis, so we must pay attention to the labor intensity when exercising or working, so as to reduce the lumbar spinal stenosis.

Lumbar spinal stenosis is not all caused by lumbar disc herniation, generally speaking, the lumbar spine is affected by changes and strain, as well as lumbar spondylolisthesis and osteolysis, in addition, nutritional trauma and other factors may cause lumbar spinal stenosis.

Yes, lumbar spinal stenosis is mainly the ** type of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, and the herniated disc enters the spinal canal, which causes spinal stenosis, which will also lead to compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots in the spinal canal, thereby causing the spinal cord and nerve root conductivity to weaken, and the patient will have obvious numbness and pain in the buttocks and legs.

Lumbar spinal stenosis has a lot to do with lumbar disc herniation, and the deformation of the spine leads to the occurrence of this condition, which is mainly related to being in a certain state for a long time!

For lumbar spinal stenosis caused by lumbar disc herniation, it is mainly the ** type of lumbar disc herniation, and the herniated disc enters the spinal canal, thereby causing spinal stenosis, which will also lead to the compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots in the spinal canal, thereby causing the conductivity of the spinal cord and nerve roots to weaken, and the patient will have obvious numbness and pain in the buttocks and legs.

If the intervertebral disc herniation is relatively light, resulting in a relatively small degree of spinal stenosis, this situation can be conservative ** method, that is, the use of lumbar traction, physiotherapy, acupuncture, and the application of neurotrophic drugs**, if the intervertebral disc herniation is relatively large, resulting in a relatively severe degree of spinal stenosis, there is obvious compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots, this situation needs to be operated on.

A herniated lumbar disc can cause lumbar canal stenosis, but to be strong, it is not necessarily caused by a herniated lumbar disc. If there is vertebral stenosis, in this case, there may be slight lumbar muscle soreness, but if it is positive, there may be problems such as compression of nerves, and if there is a problem, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time**, generally through minimally invasive surgery or drugs can achieve the first effect, usually we must pay attention, whether it is sitting or standing, we must be correct, often participate in some physical activities, make the body resistance longer, and improve physical fitness.

Hello! Lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar disc herniation are different diseases that are both distinct and related. When lumbar disc herniation is formed, the herniated lumbar disc compresses the dural sac, spinal cord, and nerve roots backwards, leading to the appearance of secondary lumbar spinal stenosis, which can also lead to the symptoms of spinal stenosis.

That is true. There are many causes of lumbar spinal narrowness, but the main cause is a herniated lumbar disc.

Lumbar spinal stenosis is a reduction in the relative volume of the lumbar spinal canal due to various reasons, which compresses adjacent nerve roots and spinal cord, thus causing a series of clinical symptoms. Causes include:

1. Congenital lumbar spinal stenosis: mainly related to congenital lumbar spinal canal dysplasia;

2. Degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis: including chronic strain, lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spondylolisthesis, old fractures, lumbar scoliosis, etc.

Part of the cause of lumbar spinal stenosis is indeed due to a herniated disc in the lumbar spine. Thickening of the posterior herniated ligament causes lumbar spinal stenosis. It can be done conservatively**or surgically**.

Lumbar spinal stenosis, some due to congenital. Aplasia. It may also be due to external factors. Like what. Traumatic inflammation. These lead to.

Lumbar spinal stenosis, some of which are caused by a herniated disc. Some are for other reasons. Not all of them are caused by a herniated disc.

Lumbar spinal stenosis is not always caused by a herniated lumbar disc, for example, lumbar joint inflammation, lumbar spine trauma, etc. can cause lumbar spinal stenosis.
