Floating needle therapy is relatively effective for treating lumbar disc herniation. The floating needle technique operates at the subcutaneous level, achieving pain relief through dispersed stimulation, thereby alleviating pain caused by lumbar disc herniation. It is recommended that patients combine this with comprehensive treatments such as moxibustion, traction, physical therapy, and medication, while also strengthening functional exercises and long-term health management to promote recovery. Lumbar disc herniation may occur due to prolonged fatigue and excessive physical strain, which can accelerate calcium loss in the body, contributing to the condition.
