Combined Eastern and Western Medicine: The 'Golden Key' to Help Patients Recover Quickly After Herniated Disc Surgery

Why is rehabilitation important after disc herniation surgery?

For patients with lumbar disc herniation, surgery is not the “end” but only the beginning of the treatment journey. The main goal of surgery is to relieve nerve compression, relieve pain and prevent acute complications. However, to achieve a comprehensive recovery, patients need to combine a scientific diet, rest and rehabilitation measures.

This is the “key” to help the body quickly regain stability, improve mobility, limit recurrence and soon return to normal life.

Rehabilitation plays a key role in optimizing the effectiveness after disc herniation surgery, helping patients regain their health and mobility quickly. This process not only helps the disc and spine restore stability, reducing pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots, but also contributes to pain control, preventing infection, limiting recurrence and complications. More importantly, rehabilitation helps patients quickly return to their normal lives with better physical condition, improving their quality of life in a sustainable way.

The “golden” solution in rehabilitation after disc herniation surgery

Nghe An Traditional Medicine Hospital is becoming a trusted address for many patients after surgery for lumbar disc herniation, not only in the province but also in neighboring localities.

The highlight of treatment here is the harmonious combination of modern medicine and traditional medicine, bringing about quick and comprehensive recovery for patients. In addition to using drugs, the hospital also applies many non-drug methods such as physical therapy, electroacupuncture, acupuncture, herbal steam bath, massage - acupressure... to help relieve pain, increase blood circulation and restore spinal function.

In particular, each patient is given a personalized treatment plan, suitable for their condition and severity of the disease, thereby achieving optimal results. In parallel, a system of modern equipment such as shockwave, shortwave, hot-cold, electromagnetic fields, etc. are also included to support; contributing to shortening recovery time and improving treatment quality.

Thanks to the combination of Eastern and Western medicine and a comprehensive approach, Nghe An Traditional Medicine Hospital is affirming its position as the "golden destination" in rehabilitation after disc herniation surgery.

A typical case is Mr. Tran Dinh H. (61 years old, Dien Chau, Nghe An). After surgery for a herniated disc, he was hospitalized with severe lower back pain, difficulty moving around, insomnia due to pain at night, accompanied by numbness in his right leg, making it extremely difficult to walk and requiring assistance. After only 2 weeks of integrated Eastern and Western medicine treatment at the hospital, his condition improved significantly: lower back pain was significantly reduced, movement was more flexible, leg numbness was relieved and he could walk without the need for assistive devices.

Rehabilitation for patients after disc herniation surgery can begin very early, even on the first day as prescribed by the doctor. Delaying recovery not only prolongs the treatment time but also reduces the effectiveness and increases the risk of complications. Therefore, choosing a reputable medical facility for timely intervention is a decisive factor in the recovery process.
