A herniated lumbar disc, a movement system disorder, is a common and frequent disease in orthopedics, and many factors can easily cause a herniated lumbar disc. Having a herniated lumbar disc may trigger symptoms and aggravate the condition if you do not pay attention to it in your daily life. If the treatment method is not chosen properly, not only will it be ineffective, but it may also make the condition more serious. The following are the precautions for patients with lumbar disc herniation. I. Precautions for those with congenital developmental abnormalities of the lumbar spine Health examinations for adolescents or staff should be conducted regularly, and attention should be paid in schools to check for congenital or idiopathic deformities of the spine, such as scoliosis or collapse of the vertebral arch. If there is such a condition, it is prone to disc herniation in the future, inducing low back pain. For those who have been engaged in strenuous lumbar sports for a longer period of time, attention should be paid to the occurrence of arch fractures and other conditions, which are more frequent in mobilization and acrobats, such as such structural defects should strengthen the protection of the lumbar back, do not carry out strenuous sports to prevent repeated injuries. Second, lumbar disc protrusion in life and work precautions More than the maximum load of the lumbar spine labor, can prompt and accelerate aging degeneration, triggering lumbar disc protrusion. If a lumbar disc herniation has already occurred, it can easily lead to aggravation of the condition! So we need to avoid as much as possible in the work. 1, do not bend over for a long time, such as some work requires long-term bending force, such as woodworking planing wood, farmers hoeing, etc., in these jobs, the lumbar disc pressure than the general standing increased by more than double! Such as bending over to carry water from the well, the lumbar pressure can be increased by 5 times! Therefore, the incidence of low back pain is high in long-term bending work, and the incidence of disc herniation is also high. Long-term bending back on the lumbar disc pressure a lot, unfavorable lumbar disc recovery. 2, do not sit for a long time Long-term sitting work such as long-term desk workers, drivers, factory assembly line workers, etc., the incidence of low back pain is high. Long-term sedentary, lumbar vertebrae in a backbend state, lumbar muscles and ligaments are in a state of tension, the pressure on the lumbar intervertebral disc increased by 10 times! The long-term tension of the lumbar muscles and lumbar ligaments, there will be chronic strain injury, the stability and protection of the lumbar decreased, at the same time, the sedentary lumbar disc overload caused by lumbar disc degeneration, it is easy to make the disc fibrous ring rupture under the action of external forces, the nucleus pulposus protrusion compressed nerve. Therefore, adhere to the interval exercise or work time to change position is very meaningful, we can sit every 20 to 30 minutes to stand a little, walk a little, to develop good habits. 3, do not use explosive force The lumbar intervertebral disc tissue is between the two lumbar vertebrae, bearing the pressure and movement of the lumbar spine. If suddenly subjected to an overload of explosive force, it is easy to make the intervertebral disc injury. Therefore, before we exert force, we should move the waist and slowly exert force. For example, lifting heavy objects, first ready posture, do not suddenly force. Especially when there is a lumbar disc herniation, the explosive force is easy to tear the otherwise stable lumbar disc fibrous ring wound, aggravating the condition. 4, do not strenuous exercise, avoid trauma Trauma, is also one of the main reasons for lumbar disc protrusion. Those who have a lumbar disc herniation are prohibited from any ball sports and unilateral sports. Strenuous exercise will likewise tear the ruptured fibrous ring wound of the lumbar disc herniated person and aggravate the protrusion. Especially in the acute phase of lumbar disc herniation, the nerve is stimulated by the compression of the nucleus pulposus to develop edema and sterile inflammation, and strenuous exercise will intensify the frictional stimulation of the nerve by the herniated material, which is not conducive to the decreasing of the edema and inflammation of the nerve. Therefore, patients with lumbar disc herniation are prohibited from strenuous exercise. 5, do not sleep on a soft bed our normal spine has an “S” shaped physiological curvature, bad posture when sleeping, pillow too high, mattress too soft, are not conducive to the physiological curvature of the spine, so that the lumbar muscle tension, stiffness, poor blood circulation, is not conducive to lumbar disc herniation recovery. Therefore, we have to sleep with the pillow height and mattress softness to moderate, mattress hardness to sleep on it will not be sunken deformation, comfortable for. 6, do not greedy cool lumbar disc herniation compression nerve, will be normal nerve edema and inflammation, low back muscle tension, the entire lumbar blood circulation decline, the nerve sensitivity to external stimuli strengthen. The stimulation of cold air is not conducive to lumbar blood flow, stimulating the nerves and aggravating the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation, making the pain worse. So we make the waist cold and warm, and can carry out lumbar hot compresses to promote blood circulation, to help relieve pain symptoms. 7, do not eat irritating food Due to the compression stimulation of the nerve after the lumbar disc herniation, so that the nerve sensitivity to external stimulation is strengthened, as sensitive to food such as cold, tobacco and alcohol irritation, is not conducive to alleviate the pain caused by lumbar disc herniation, should be avoided as far as possible. 8, do not bend over picking things and lifting heavy things lumbar intervertebral disc in the upper and lower two vertebral bodies, in the front wide narrow state, suddenly bending over picking things is not conducive to lumbar intervertebral disc back. Lifting heavy objects often unilateral body force, also detrimental to the lumbar disc, so to avoid, picking things should first squat.
