HOW IS A HERNIATED DISC TREATED?
如何治療椎間盤突出？
Making the diagnosis of a hemiated disc, and coming up with a treatment plan depends on the symptoms experienced by the patient, the physical examination findings, and the X-ray and MRI results.
先對椎間盤突出做出診斷，但就治療方案，要根據病患自身癥狀，身體檢查，X射線以及核磁報告而定。
Only once this information is put together can a reasonable treatment plan be considered.
只有綜合這些信息，才能做出合理的治療方案。
Occasionally, disc herniation is incidentally detected when a test such as an MRI is performed for other reasons.
在”非椎間盤”檢測過程中，病患的椎間盤突出可被醫生偶然發現，這些檢測包括核磁共振檢測。
If no symptoms are present, no particular treatment is necessary.
若無明顯癥狀，無需進行特別治療。
Depending on the severity of symptoms, treatments for a hemiated disc include physical therapy, muscle relaxant medications, pain medications, anti-inflammation medications, local injection of cortisone (epidural injections) , and surgical operations.
根據嚴重程度，治療方法包括物理治療、服用肌肉松弛藥、止痛藥、消炎藥、局部注射可的松以及外科手術。
In any case, all people with a disc herniation should rest and avoid reinjuring the disc.
無論如何，所有突出癥患者均需要休息，避免椎間盤再度損傷。
Sometimes, even people with relatively severe pain early on can respond to conservative measures without the need for surgical intervention.
有時甚至對于疼痛感相對嚴重的病患，可盡早進行保守治療，無需外科手術。
Most often, treatments of a herniated disc begin conservatively, and become more aggressive if the symptoms persist.
通常情況下，椎間盤突出治療均從保守治療開始，若癥狀沒有緩解，加大治療力度。
After diagnosing a herniated disc，treatment usually begins with rest & activity modification.
診斷證實后，治療通常從休息&調整日常活動開始。
The first treatment is to rest and avoid activities that aggravate your symptoms.
首先要從休息開始，避免進行一切加重病情活動。
Many disc herniations will resolve in given time.
隨著時間推移，許多椎間盤突出會自己好轉。
In these cases, it is important to avoid activities that aggravate your symptoms.
避免進行加重病情活動，這一點非常重要。
ICE & HEAT APPLICATIONS
冰敷與熱敷
Ice and heat application can be extremely helpftil in relieving the painful symptoms of a disc herniation.
冰敷與熱敷可極大緩解疼痛感。
By helping to relax the muscles of the back, ice and heat applications can relieve muscle spasm and provide significant pain relief.
通過放松背部肌肉，擺脫肌肉痙攣，疼痛感也將明顯緩解。
PHYSICAL THERAPY
物理療法
Physical therapy and lumbar stabilization exercises do not directly affect the herniated disc, but they can stabilize the lumbar spine muscles.
物理療法，腰椎穩定性訓練不會直接影響椎間盤突出，但可穩定腰椎肌肉。
This has an effect of decreasing the load experienced by the disc and vertebrae.
降低椎間盤以及脊椎壓力。
Stronger, well balanced muscles help control the lumbar spine and minimize the risk of injury to the nerves and the disc.
強勁，平衡的肌肉群可更好控制腰椎，降低神經和椎間盤受傷風險。
