Lumbar disc herniation is a common disease characterized by low back pain and radiating pain in the lower extremities, which causes great inconvenience to the patient’s daily life. Orthopedic surgeons often use surgical methods, which are not easily accepted by patients. Conservative treatment is the preferred method of treating lumbar disc herniation. Comprehensive treatment such as massage, acupuncture, physiotherapy, traction, bed rest, hot compresses and Chinese and Western medicines can have unexpected effects. If the patient pays attention to self-maintenance and carries out appropriate functional exercises while treating, the effect can be more effective with half the effort. Lumbar disc herniation maintenance 1, bedding: hard bed can give solid support to the waist, very hard Simmons (can provide solid support spring mattress), can also play a similar role. Bed is also a treatment, supine position is best, but for those with severe pain, the most comfortable position is appropriate; hard board bed can be padded with bedding of about 5 cm thickness, but should not be padded with inelastic soft sponge. 2. Keep warm: cold stimulation causes muscle spasm and induces or aggravates pain. The dwelling should avoid damp and cold; it is not advisable to wash the feet with cold water; shoes should be soft-soled and flat-heeled, and you should get used to wearing socks often; you should pay more attention to keeping warm in the hot season, and air conditioning, bamboo mats and bare feet may induce the disease. 3, waist circumference: in the acute period, waist circumference can reduce the burden on the waist and relieve pain; in the remission period and usual, waist circumference can prevent lumbar injury. Waist circumference must have a certain width, about 30 cm is appropriate, the internal curved tough steel or hard plastic plate support; its breathability should be good, canvas or cowhide is better, followed by nylon surface. Waist circumference should not be used for a long time, so as not to affect the recovery of lumbar muscle strength. When lying in bed, it is not appropriate to use lumbar girth. 4, posture: bending forward will prompt the disc to protrude backward, and if combined with the twisting of the waist, it will cause damage to the fibrous ring. In daily life and work should try to maintain a straight posture at the waist, such as: should avoid bending over to sweep, wipe the floor, wash dishes, brush teeth or wash clothes in the bathtub; pick up items from the ground or low, should first squat, hold the items, put the items as close to the body as possible, and then slowly stand up with the strength of the legs; similarly, should not lean on the head of the bed (half lying half sitting position) to read or watch TV, should not sit for a long time on the sofa, low stool ( If you have to, you can put a cushion on your waist; you should sit in a bus or van with a slightly forward seat to avoid vibration; when you get up, you should not use the sit-up method, but lie on your side first (right side for example), move your bent legs under the bed, use your right elbow and left palm to support the force and sit up slowly. Although many patients have no problem riding a bicycle, they should not ride for too long and should put the seat cushion as low as possible. 5, rest: rest can promote the repair of the intervertebral disc. The pressure in the intervertebral disc is minimal when lying down, so if you have the conditions to lie down for a while at noon, there are great benefits, but you should pay attention to keeping warm; long-distance driving, standing or sitting is not good, and long-distance travel is not advisable, so pay attention to posture change and lumbar protection. Posture change can reduce strain, sedentary office should regularly spend a few minutes to get up and walk. Sexual life should be properly restrained. Clinical studies have found that the initial attack of lumbar disc herniation is more related to injury, while recurrence is most closely related to strain, which leads to a decrease in lumbar muscle strength, resulting in a decrease in the ability to protect the stability of the lumbar spine, thus causing recurrence. 6, diet: there is generally nothing contraindicated in diet, follow a good diet on it. Some people are inclined to allergies, and consuming foods with high levels of dissimilar proteins such as hairy crabs and turtle can trigger or aggravate lumbar pain due to allergic reactions, which should be duly noted. Traditionally, you should eat warm food and avoid fishy and cold food, but you don’t have to stick to it if you don’t feel sick. Some people are addicted to spicy foods, but they should also pay attention to moderation. Some people can also induce pain or cause difficulty in passing stool or hemorrhoid attacks, which can also indirectly aggravate lumbar prolapse. It is important to keep your bowels open from time to time to avoid aggravating the symptoms because of forceful bowel movements.
