Neurovizualization of lumbar herniated intervertebral disc regression due to conservative (ortopedic) treatment

Abstract

The results of conservative treatment of lumbar herniated intervertebral discs have been analyzed in 580 patients. CT, MRI, and MSCT examinations were performed in patients for making the diagnosis of herniated intervertebral discs. All patients were treated according to the developed scheme of conservative (orthopedic) treatment: spine traction, injections of corticosteroid preparations into the spinal canal to resolve the discoradicular conflict, performing medicamental therapy, physiotherapy and exercise therapy. The decrease of disc hernia size (regression) was determined by tomography data due to the conservative treatment performed. The use of the developed technique of conservative (orthopedic) treatment of lumbar herniated intervertebral discs allows to obtain good clinical results.
