Il trattamento fisioterapico nell'ernia discale lombare

Abstract

English

I pazienti con quadro clinico riferibile ad ernia discale per i quali non sussista l'indicazione assoluta all'intervento chirurgico dovrebbero essere sottoposti ad un tentativo di terapia fisica conservativa.

II trattamento fisioterapico, basato su pochi e semplici principi, va eseguito rigorosamente e sotto controllo medico.

I vari presidi terapeutici devono essere utilizzati secondo lo specifico razionale terapeutico.

Le difficoltà del trattamento fisioterapico sono dovute da un lato alla complessità dei fenomeni a carico delle varie strutture spinali, che accompagnano il formarsi dell'ernia, dall'altro alla non sempre dimostrata validità scientifica di alcuni dei vari mezzi terapeutici utilizzati.
