Question

What is the effectiveness of using Liang’s plaster therapy for lumbar nerve compression?

Answer

An 85-year-old patient suffering from severe lumbar disc herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis due to nerve compression may find limited effectiveness with Liang’s plaster therapy. If the patient’s condition permits, surgery may be recommended. If surgery is not an option due to the patient’s condition, strict bed rest treatment can be adopted, and enemas or rectal suppositories may be necessary to assist with bowel movements. Additionally, precautions must be taken to prevent bed sores. I hope this information is helpful to you. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
