Features: Lumbar disc herniation is most common among middle-aged and elderly people, as well as young individuals who maintain fixed postures for long periods, such as office workers, computer operators, accountants, typists, teachers, and drivers. Due to their lack of regular exercise, their physical condition is relatively weak, and their lumbar spine is subjected to prolonged static pressure, making them highly susceptible to pathological changes. Additionally, those who engage in heavy manual labor for extended periods or work in cold and damp environments are also at high risk of developing lumbar disc herniation. This book systematically discusses the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, home care, and prevention of lumbar disc herniation, providing comprehensive and detailed content. It aims to widely disseminate knowledge about the home treatment and prevention of lumbar disc herniation, serving as an excellent guide and companion for patients with lumbar disc herniation and those who sit for long periods with little movement to prevent the condition.
