Numbness in the left leg may be caused by a lumbar disc herniation. You may consider visiting the Department of Orthopedic Surgery. This condition is often associated with overexertion, poor posture, and degenerative changes in the lumbar spine. We recommend consulting a physician at a hospital for appropriate evaluation and management. Treatment options may include medications that promote blood circulation, resolve blood stasis, relieve pain, and nourish nerves—combined with acupuncture and massage therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Additionally, ensure adequate rest and avoid overexertion and poor posture. Wishing you good health!
