Features: Everyone hopes to have a strong and upright waist, which brings confidence and fitness to people. But have you ever heard the saying, "Pain in the patient's waist, headache for the doctor"? Indeed, lower back pain brings many inconveniences and greatly affects people's lives and work. Especially with the improvement of material living standards, the acceleration of work frequency, and the increase in outdoor activities, the incidence of lumbar disc herniation, a common and frequent type of lower back pain, has been rising year by year. Therefore, how to alleviate the pain caused by lumbar disc herniation and relieve and improve lower back symptoms is a primary task before us. Currently, the medical field mainly has two treatment methods for lumbar disc herniation: surgical therapy and non-surgical therapy. Non-surgical therapy includes oral and topical Chinese medicine, acupuncture, physical therapy, traction, massage, etc., among which massage therapy stands out with its advantages of minimal pain and no side effects, making it deeply favored by patients.
As the saying goes, "Disease is 'three parts treatment, seven parts care'." In addition to passively receiving medical treatment, active exercise and self-treatment are also ways to treat diseases. This book is written for patients with lumbar disc herniation based on this principle. Self-massage emphasizes doing it yourself, greatly mobilizing the patient's own initiative, and has no restrictions on time, location, or environment, offering advantages that other therapies do not have. This book is divided into five parts: Common Knowledge, Meridian Points, Techniques, Treatment, and Care, which respectively introduce the symptoms and course of lumbar disc herniation, and explain in a diagrammatic form the commonly used acupoints, reflex zones, and techniques for self-massage treatment for lumbar disc herniation, as well as self-massage routines for the body, ear, foot, and hand. It also covers daily life, diet and nutrition, and Chinese and Western medicine. This book is easy to understand and practice, making it a very practical reference book for health care.
