Why is neck, shoulder, back and leg pain hitting young people?

Neck, shoulder, back and leg pain has always been a common disease among middle-aged and elderly people. However, nowadays, there are many young people in the orthopedic and rehabilitation clinics of hospitals. This seemingly abnormal phenomenon is really puzzling, why neck, shoulder, back and leg pain also love to attack young people? In fact, it is not difficult to find that these patients have one thing in common, that is, young people nowadays are mostly engaged in computer, desk work or playing mahjong for a long time and other “forced position” caused. The so-called “forced position” is the usual work life or recreation, a long time to maintain a single posture (such as a long time lying down to read a book, a long time sitting or standing, etc.). This forced position is bound to cause muscle or bone damage, can also be called static injury. This static injury, at the beginning of the general performance in the neck stiffness, pain and discomfort, or shoulder and back heavy, hands numb and weak, or low back pain. The initial manifestation of the symptoms are generally muscle problems. At this time, the muscles do not get rest, treatment and exercise, and the accumulation of months, then cause muscle ligament tension decline, elasticity weakening or local hypoxia ischemia or fibrosis, and finally involve the bones to cause physiological curvature changes, osteophytes, disc protrusion, etc.. The treatment of neck, shoulder, lumbar and leg pain suffered by such young people must be treated correctly as early as possible. Our rehabilitation department has many treatment methods for these diseases, such as tui-na manipulation, physical therapy, acupuncture treatment, fumigation and external application of traditional Chinese medicine, closed treatment, nerve root block therapy, etc. Of course, these diseases are chronic diseases that require a certain amount of time, but as long as the correct treatment is adhered to, the results are good. Finally, I emphasize the point that I hope we can do – a “recognition”, three “to”: a recognition, that is to say, to recognize that care for the spine to be like care for teeth, it is necessary to regularly health care, we need to be regular and irregular We need to do massage and physical therapy from time to time to minimize the strain. Three “to” refers to a “to” is the timely and correct treatment is very necessary to properly eliminate or reduce the symptoms, some people mistakenly believe that tolerate a good, which will aggravate the musculoskeletal and other further strain; two ” To” is to strengthen the targeted exercise is important, exercise is to pay attention to the method, in the clinical we have a set of exercise methods for each, adhere to the correct exercise will be effective or half the effort; three “to” is the appropriate drugs and nutritional conditioning is also needed, each person’s physique is different According to the different situations, choose different drugs or supplement qi and blood to strengthen the muscles and bones of the drug to help the body’s recovery.
