Dr. Lin Yunfei
Patients with lumbar osteophyte formation can usually be treated with massage or minimally invasive surgery. Mild low back pain and nerve compression caused by this condition can be managed with conservative therapies. After a period of treatment, patients may take certain medications, such as anti-osteoporosis drugs, undergo microwave physical therapy, or use blood circulation-improving and stasis-resolving treatments. It is recommended that patients pay attention to getting adequate rest in daily life.
