In the early stages of the lumbar hernia, a large part of the patients benefit from physical therapy. But in some advanced cases, physical therapy is not enough. To heal, a different method should be followed.
When there are patients who are experiencing further stages of illness, the stage of physical therapy for the patient is completely passed and prepared for surgical intervention.
Primary preference for Physical therapy
The primary preference of physicians is the principle of conservative treatment. Sometimes there are patients so that physical therapy is not enough. In particular, we can get directly to surgery because patients with advanced stages are not already involved in the healing of physical therapy.
In principle, conservative and physical treatment is attempted first. Surgical intervention is raised if the patient does not respond to physical treatment.
The success rate of physical therapy is very high in the appropriate selected patients. If a patient has a discomfort that does not require surgical intervention, the patient heals with non-surgical conservative interventions and physical therapy.
