How to treat numbness in the feet caused by lumbar disc herniation and inability to walk

A herniated disc causes numbness in the heel because the herniated disc compresses the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the largest, thickest, and longest nerve in the human body and is the main nerve responsible for muscle movement and sensation in the back of the thigh, throughout the calf, and in the foot. It mainly emits two main branches:

Common peroneal and tibial nerves. Because the sciatic nerve innervates a wide range, compression can affect the movement and sensation of the entire lower extremity. It is mainly manifested by numbness in the area innervated by the sciatic nerve (waist, buttocks, legs, feet, etc.), which will turn into pain in severe cases, mostly pain in the lower back and buttocks on one side, and then the pain will spread to the back of the thigh, popliteal fossa, lateral calf and lateral ankle of the foot.

So, your mother's heel numbness is a manifestation of compression of the sciatic nerve after a herniated disc. At present, there is no specific drug for intervertebral disc herniation, and surgical removal of the part of the intervertebral disc herniation is an effective method. If you are unwilling to undergo surgery, acupuncture and massage can also have certain effects, but the specific effect varies from person to person.

Lumbar spondylosis causes displacement of the sacroiliac joint. Tuina finds the master. In general, the right sacroiliac joint protrusion is more proportionate.

Stand and ask the family to pad their fingers. Try it with a few knocks with your fists. Don't be too small.

There is a throbbing sensation when knocked. After knocking, there is a comfortable feeling, which means that there is an effect. Repeat it a few times to get better.

What to do if a herniated lumbar disc compresses a nerve?

Typical symptoms of lumbar disc herniation: low back pain, numbness and pain in one or both lower limbs.

Common symptoms: low back pain, radiating pain in the lower extremities, urination and urination disorders, paresthesias in the perineum and perianus. In severe cases, symptoms such as loss of bowel and bowel control and incomplete paralysis of both lower limbs may occur.

Changes in nervous system reflexes are one of the typical signs of the disease: when the L4 nerve root is involved, the knee thrust reflex may be impaired, which is active in the early stage, and then rapidly becomes hyporeflexia, and the reflexes are mostly indifferent when the L5 nerve root is damaged. When sacral 1 nerve root is involved, the Achilles tendon reflexes are impaired.

Reflex changes are of great significance for the localization of the affected nerves.

Other symptoms:1Depending on the location of the affected spinal nerve root, paresthesias in the innervated area may occur. The positivity rate is more than 80%.

In the early stage, it is mostly manifested as hyperesthesia, and gradually numbness, tingling and hypoesthesia appear. Because the affected nerve roots are mostly unilateral and unilateral, the range of sensory impairment is small; However, if the cauda equina nerve is affected (in patients with ** and ** paratype), the sensory impairment is more extensive.

Patients have decreased muscle strength, with decreased dorsal extension of the ankle and toes when the L5 nerve root is involved, and decreased flexion of the toes and foot when the sacral 1 nerve root is involved.

The numbness of the legs and feet is already compressing the nerves, so hurry up**.

People who have been exposed to many lumbar protrusions have less than ideal results from medication and surgery.

Once you have a lumbar protrusion, it may be a lifelong need for maintenance, and the best maintenance is physical, if there is a spinal combing center in the local area, there is a kind of bed, you can do it, and you must adhere to it for a long time.

Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is one of the more common diseases, mainly because all parts of the lumbar intervertebral disc (nucleus pulposus, fibrous annulus and cartilage plate), especially the nucleus pulposus, have different degrees of degenerative changes, under the action of external factors, the fibrous annulus of the intervertebral disc ruptures, and the nucleus pulposus tissue protrudes (or prolapses) from the rupture to the back or in the spinal canal.

A herniated disc in the lumbar back compresses a nerve and causes numbness in the legs and feet.

Insist on pulling the horizontal bar every day, and the effect is good!

We say that the symptoms of cauda equina syndrome are very similar to those of impotence, paralysis and tendon syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine, which belong to the category of meridian injuries and impotence. The pathogenesis is mostly meridian blockage, qi stagnation and blood stasis, so that the limbs, skin, and flesh are difficult to get the normal nourishment of qi and blood, so there are limb weakness, muscle skin numbness, abnormal perception, and fear of cold for a long time, so that the muscle strength gradually declines, and the muscles atrophy.

Cauda equina nerve injury is classified as peripheral nerve, which belongs to the category of tendon meridians in traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is the main tendon, the liver is full of blood and the tendons are nourished, the liver and kidney are homologous, the tendons are attached to the bones, and kidney deficiency is often the internal cause of tendon injuries.

A herniated lumbar disc is caused by degeneration of the bones and soft tissues of the lumbar spine, or an increase in intervertebral pressure caused by trauma to the lumbar spine. For chronic lumbar disc herniation, patients can retract the herniated lumbar disc and significantly alleviate the symptoms by strengthening the strength of the lower back muscles, traction, physiotherapy, massage, oral medication and other symptoms**.

You should go to the hospital for a check-up and listen to the doctor**. If there is no lesion, you can find a professional osteopathic evaluation to adjust and change bad lifestyle habits, and appropriate exercise can achieve health.

How long has it been? If the lumbar disc herniation is severe, the drug is ineffective, and surgical decompression is recommended.
