Understanding lumbar strain

  Prevention and Treatment of Lumbar Muscle Strain Injury Lumbar muscle strain, a very common disease, also known as functional lumbago, chronic lower back injury, lumbar gluteal fasciitis, etc., is actually chronic injury inflammation of the lumbar muscles and their attachment points fascia or periosteum, is one of the common causes of lower back pain, strain injury is mostly chronic onset, the main symptom is lumbar or lumbosacral distension, soreness, recurrent episodes, pain can change with climate change or The pain can change with climate change or the degree of exertion, such as daytime exertion aggravated, can be reduced after rest. The symptoms of this disease and lumbar disc herniation are very similar and are usually differentiated mainly from the following aspects.  1, lumbar muscle strain is mostly back pain only, but patients with lumbar disc herniation can have back and leg pain.  2, the pressure points of lumbar muscle strain are mostly on the sides of the spine (for the location of muscle attachment points), but the pressure points of lumbar disc herniation are mostly in the middle of the spine, or there are no obvious pressure points.  3, lumbar muscle strain patients lumbar mobility is generally not greatly affected, usually the morning when you get up or sedentary up when the low back pain induced aggravation, after activity can be significantly relieved. However, patients with lumbar disc herniation often have difficulty bending in at least one direction, such as forward, backward, left and right. To prevent lumbar muscle strain, the correct posture of standing, sitting, bending and picking up things is most important! Improper posture in daily life such as standing, sitting and bending over to pick up things may have certain effects on the muscles of the waist, and correct posture is the key to preventing lumbar muscle strain.  1, correct and incorrect posture of picking up things 2, correct and incorrect sitting posture, you can put a small cushion between the back of the chair and the back 3, correct and incorrect standing posture Correct and incorrect standing posture treatment 1, proper rest, change the posture regularly. Avoid bending over to hold objects, etc. If necessary, use a lumbar girth at work (should be lifted at rest to avoid causing disuse muscle atrophy and further aggravating the instability of the lumbar segment of the spine). (lumbar girth) should also train the lumbar muscle strength to increase the compensatory adjustment of undamaged muscles. Exercise balls can be used for those who are able to do so. Another better way is to stretch, raise the arms, the body back, stretch the waist, and the opposite of the posture of the ambulatory work.  Furthermore, it is necessary to avoid using too soft lying equipment, too soft lying equipment to keep the back muscles contracted for a long time, it is difficult to get a good rest. Patients with chronic low back pain are recommended to sleep on a hard bed, because when sleeping on a hard bed, the thoracic back and sacrum of the human body are on the bed, the waist is suspended, maintaining the physiological forward flexion of the waist, and this position puts the lumbar muscles in the best rest position, which is conducive to the relief of low back pain.  2.Physiotherapy for pressure pain areas, as well as massage and tui-na with appropriate techniques and strength (if the cause of low back pain has not been determined, this method should be chosen with caution).  3.Adrenocorticotropic hormone injection treatment at the pressure pain site.  4.Patients whose pain obviously affects their work can use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, local topical muscle relaxants and sedatives like diazepam as appropriate.
