Dr. Lin Yunfei
Bulging intervertebral discs compressing the dural sac may cause symptoms such as dizziness, headache, joint stiffness, and restricted mobility. If not promptly and effectively treated, this condition may even lead to cerebral hypoperfusion. Under a physician’s guidance, patients can undergo traction therapy to improve their condition and achieve favorable therapeutic outcomes. When necessary, surgical interventions—such as discectomy—may also be considered.
