Methods A total of 60 patients with lumbar disc herniation diagnosed clearly in the outpatient Department of Rehabilitation, Changzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from November 2020 to November 2021 were selected, and they were divided into control group and treatment group by random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with Fu’s acupuncture combined with meridian acupuncture, and the control group was treated with conventional acupuncture. After three weeks of treatment, the clinical efficacy, Japanese Orthopaedic Society score, Oswestry disability index, and serum inflammatory factors were observed and analyzed statistically. Results After treatment, the score of Japanese Orthopaedic Society score in the two groups was higher than before treatment, and the treatment group was higher than the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the Oswestry disability index and serum inflammatory factors of the two groups were lower than before treatment, and the treatment group was lower than the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The therapeutic effect of the treatment group was better than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Fu’s acupuncture combined with meridian acupuncture can obviously improve lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, and its curative effect is better than ordinary acupuncture, which can be popularized in clinic.
