Lumbar disc herniation, spinal degeneration, spinal stenosis, etc., I do not know when these diseases, which often occur in the elderly, are now more and more frequently appearing in young people. The most likely cause of lumbar spine problems is sitting still + sitting in the wrong posture Why are the patients of “lumbar protrusion” getting younger? Fan Hou Bao said, with the popularity of the network, sitting in front of the computer for a long time to entertain and work has become a way of life for people, for the majority of students, either long hours buried in books to do problems, or uncontrolled watching TV, playing computer, these habits are contributing to the “lumbar synostosis” culprit. Sitting for a long time will lead to an increase in the internal pressure of the lumbar intervertebral disc, and if you sit for more than ten hours a day, without driving a move, then the nucleus pulposus in the intervertebral disc will fall out and compress the nerves behind it, and that is a herniated disc. In addition, sitting for a long time, the lack of exercise for the muscles of the lumbar back, coupled with improper sitting posture, crooked and twisted, will lead to lumbar muscle strain in the long run, so that the stability of the lumbar spine joints are greatly challenged. When the lumbar spine loses the protection of muscle ligaments, the intervertebral disc is also more likely to protrude. Prevent lumbar disc protrusion first of all to avoid sedentary, sitting posture after half an hour must get up to move the body, some stretching, sitting posture should also straighten the back, not hunchback with chest. When using a computer, it is best to maintain a sitting posture in accordance with the following standards: the upper edge of the computer monitor and eye plane flush, the chair should be able to fully support the thighs, the angle between the large and small legs in 90 ° -110 °, feet flat on the ground; shoulders relaxed, forearms and parallel to the ground, the back of the chair to support the lower back. 90% of lumbar disc herniation does not require surgery It is understood that many people clinically feel lumbar pain and think it is lumbar herniation, when the X-ray confirmed a protrusion, it is everywhere clamoring to go to surgery. This is a misconception. First of all, there are many causes of lumbar pain, including lumbar muscle strain, lumbar spine degeneration, osteophytes, etc. It may not necessarily be a lumbar disc herniation. If there are no symptoms such as pain or numbness in the limbs and no effect on daily life, it is not considered “lumbar herniation” and does not require treatment. Of course, if the lumbar disc herniation is too serious, it will develop into lumbar disc herniation. It is easy to treat lumbar disc herniation in the early stages, with medication being the most common method, but now that medicine is developing rapidly, ultrasound guided nerve blocks and radiofrequency ablation can also be used to eliminate the herniation. More than 90% of patients with lumbar herniation do not need surgery, and of the remaining patients who need surgery, another 90% can undergo minimally invasive intervertebral foraminoscopic surgery. Only a 0.7 cm channel needs to be made to remove the herniation and relieve the compression. In cases requiring open surgery, the following three conditions are generally met: 1. Calcification of the herniated disc compresses the cauda equina and causes abnormalities in urination and defecation. 2. A large herniation that has failed conservative treatment. 3, combined with spinal stenosis.
