Straightening of lumbar spine physiological curvature may be caused by physiological factors, or it may be caused by certain diseases, such as disc herniation and lumbar myofasciitis, etc. The treatment methods are different for different reasons, and the common treatments are general treatment, physiotherapy, surgery, and so on.
1. Physiological factors: daily sitting and standing, stooping and hunching and other bad postural habits, resulting in lumbar muscle imbalance, unable to maintain the stability of the spinal structure, the lumbar vertebrae physiological curvature gradually become straight. The lumbar joints can be loosened by pulsation impact to improve the flexibility of the lumbar pelvis. You can also exercise the lumbar muscles through plate support, prone position jerk, swallow fly movement, etc. to relieve the symptoms.
2. Herniated disc: After lumbar disc herniation, the body will straighten the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine due to the compensatory mechanism, so as to reduce the herniation of the disc and the compression of the nerves. Patients can be treated with minimally invasive procedures such as GRT radiofrequency target thermo-coagulation and ozone therapy, as well as traction and acupressure. At the same time, avoid sitting for a long time and lifting heavy objects.
3. Lumbar fasciitis: because of long-term lumbar muscle repetitive strain or exercise, lumbar fascia aseptic inflammation can occur, which can make the lumbar muscle spasm and tension, pulling the lumbar vertebrae, so that the lumbar vertebrae physiological curvature of the lumbar vertebrae become straight. Physical therapy such as hot compresses and infrared rays can be performed. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as celecoxib can also be administered. It can relieve and treat the straightening of lumbar curvature.
The straightening of the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine may also be caused by lumbar sprain and lumbar tuberculosis and other factors. It is recommended that the patient go to the hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
