EFICÁCIA DAS ABORDAGENS FISIOTERAPÊUTICAS NO TRATAMENTO CONSERVADOR DE HÉRNIA DE DISCO: REVISÃO DE LITERATURA

Abstract

Herniated disc (HD) occurs by the rupture of the fibrous ring, as result of the displacement of the intervertebral nucleus, causing great pain in the spine, and can trigger problems in posture, decreased movement and flexibility. Risk factors are: postural causes, muscular imbalances, and possibly, genetic influence. Thus, the general objective of this research was to verify the effectiveness between the various methods of conservative physiotherapy treatment in herniated lumbar disc (HDL). To reach this objective, documentary research was used, analyzing existing references that contribute to the discussion about the theme analyzed here. In the end it can be concluded that the conservative treatment applied correctly with the help of an early diagnosis has a higher probability of satisfactory results, dispensing with surgical intervention without further harm to the patient, giving him back the quality of life.
