Is disc herniation hot compress useful?

It is generally useful to use hot compress in patients with disc herniation during acute attacks. Hot compress can effectively promote blood circulation in the painful part, thus relieving pain. It is usually better for patients with disc herniation with cold stagnation in the body. However, the effect of hot compress can be limited. It is suggested that patients with serious symptoms should go to hospital as soon as possible, and use drug therapy, physical therapy and other methods under the guidance of doctors. Patients who meet the surgical indications can also be treated by surgical methods.
