Many people have experienced backache and even the inability to live a normal life. Mr. Chen is a professional cartoonist, but three generations of his family have been farmers, and he occasionally needs to go to the fields with his family. Half a year ago, he started to suffer from back pain after carrying a pesticide bucket. I started to feel numb and even had a burning sensation in my calves. I couldn't create or sleep well. After seeking medical examination, I found out that the fourth and fifth lumbar discs and the first sacral vertebra had herniated discs.
said that when Mr. Chen went to see a doctor, he first performed a straight leg raising test. The test showed a positive reaction (confirming that it was a herniated disc). He then suggested that eight times of needle knife treatment be performed first. If the effect was still not good, then Consider undergoing Western medical surgery.

Guo Dawei pointed out that when Mr. Chen returned for a visit after the first treatment, he frankly admitted that "I haven't slept so comfortably for a long time." After the fourth week of treatment, Mr. Chen also said that the discomfort had improved by nearly 90%. ! Although the recovery is in good condition, Mr. Chen was reminded at the same time, "Just because the treatment is good this time does not mean that there will be no future attacks. The key is to exercise the core muscles to protect the keel." He said that exercising the core muscles can not only protect the spine, It can also relieve back pain.
Finally, David Guo also reminded again that rehabilitation treatment, regardless of traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, can make the condition steadily progress, at least not worsen. Everyone must be patient during rehabilitation, and it will take three months to six months to achieve complete improvement. Don’t give up halfway!
