In recent years, with the diversification of lifestyle changes, patients with lumbar disc herniation have shown an increasing trend, which seriously affects their normal work and daily life. Although this disease requires drug or surgical treatment, the usual care is more important. The following is a comprehensive introduction to some daily rehabilitation precautions, I hope to help you recover as soon as possible: dietary arrangements Lumbar disc herniation patients due to illness and reduce a certain amount of activity, so the intake of diet should also be properly reduced, gastrointestinal peristalsis slow, digestive function is reduced, so should be a reasonable arrangement of diet, pay attention to a small number of meals, eat more vegetables and fruits and legumes, eat more food with high calcium content, such as milk, dairy products, shrimp. Such as milk, dairy products, shrimp, kelp, sesame paste, soy products, etc., is conducive to calcium supplementation, but patients who have developed bone spurs (osteophytes) in the lumbar spine should not take in too much calcium. Minimize the consumption of meat and fatty foods, as they tend to cause dry stools and aggravate the condition due to straining to defecate. The correct standing posture should be with eyes level, chest up, waist straight, legs upright, and the distance between the two feet is about the same as the width of the pelvis, so that the gravity of the whole body is evenly transmitted from the crest and pelvis to the lower limbs, and then from the two lower limbs to the feet, in order to become a real “foot on the ground”, which can effectively prevent the nucleus pulposus from protruding again. Standing should not be too long, and appropriate in-situ activities should be carried out, especially for the lumbar back, in order to relieve muscle fatigue of the lumbar back. The correct sitting posture should be straight upper body, tuck in the abdomen, legs and knees together, if possible, can be under the feet of a foot pad or stirrups, so that the knee joint slightly higher than the hip. After sitting for a long time should also be active to loosen the muscles of the lower limbs. Usually work and play in life, pay attention to the correct posture, avoid bending over and lifting heavy objects. The main purpose of wearing a waist protector for patients with lumbar disc herniation is to brake, which is to limit the flexion and other movements of the lumbar spine, especially to assist the back muscles to limit some unnecessary forward flexion movements to ensure that the injured lumbar disc can be fully rested locally. In addition, the lumbar cold, moisture is easy to aggravate the symptoms or recurrence, patients can choose both braking and warm, breathable, non-sweaty high-performance rehabilitation lumbar protection to protect the lumbar. Pay attention to the bedding and lying position Too soft bed under the pressure of human weight can form the shape of the middle low, four sides high, it is easy to affect the physiological curve of the lumbar spine, so that the disc is unevenly stressed. Therefore, from the perspective of treatment and prevention of lumbar disc herniation, the choice of board bed is more appropriate, the general use of bedding should be padded loose and suitable, so as to maintain the balance of the lumbar spine to a large extent. The sleep position of people can be roughly divided into supine, side and prone. Supine, as long as the sleeper is suitable, the limbs remain naturally extended, the crestal curvature does not change much. Side lying generally do not have to pay too much attention to the left or right side lying position, because people in sleep in order to get a more comfortable position, always turn over and over. Prone position when the chest pressure, lumbar convexity increased, the most likely to produce discomfort. Therefore, it is generally appropriate to take the supine position and side lying position. Pay attention to proper rehabilitation gymnastics Patients with lumbar disc herniation should recuperate in the acute stage and should not exercise. After the condition is stabilized, moderate exercises such as gymnastics can be performed. In adhering to the principle of suitable method, correct posture and gradual progress, persistently, appropriate rehabilitation gymnastic exercises are performed for the lumbar region. The more representative gymnastics include backward walking method, flying swallow method, supine bridging method, left and right waist rotation method, etc. There are also some introductions on the Internet, so you can find the gymnastics suitable for you. The risk of medication and surgery The medication for lumbar disc herniation is generally aimed at relieving symptoms only. Most of the current medications are anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling hormones and other drugs, which have a lot of side effects; in addition, the side effects of Chinese medicine are relatively small. Generally speaking surgery is divided into minimally invasive and inaugural surgery. Patients with lumbar disc herniation should choose correctly according to their condition during the disease and recovery process, and try to use treatments with high safety factor, minimally invasive and healthy.
