He often takes traditional Chinese medicine, but it's ineffective. The results showed atrophy of the lower limb muscles. What is the cause of the atrophy of the lower limb muscles?Doctor's answer:
Muscle atrophy of the thigh first requires identifying the cause and then implementing targeted treatment. Factors contributing to lower limb muscle atrophy may be related to conditions such as lumbar disc herniation or trauma. Rehabilitation treatments such as acupuncture, massage, and exercise training can be considered. If the muscle atrophy is caused by lumbar disc herniation, surgical treatment may be implemented, along with the use of neurotrophic drugs to alleviate the patient's condition.
