How to prevent recurrence of lumbar disc herniation

The occurrence of lumbar disc herniation will make the patient’s life more affected, and serious patients can not carry out daily activities and can only rest in bed. There are many treatment options for this disease, such as minimally invasive treatment, physical therapy, and surgery for severe cases. Minimally invasive treatment has a very low likelihood of recurrence compared to other treatments, while other treatments have a higher likelihood of recurrence, so how can we prevent recurrence? Prevention of recurrence of lumbar disc herniation can be achieved through the following preventive measures: 1, do not sit or squat for a long time, so as to avoid the lumbar region in a long-term bending state, which is not conducive to the recovery of lumbar disc herniation, but also easy to make the patient recurrence possible. It is recommended that patients sit with their backs straight, which can reduce the degree of tension on the lumbar back muscles and prevent the occurrence of strain. 2, lifting or picking up things, avoid bending over, because when bending over, the distance between the upper part of the trunk and the lumbar force point of the force arm is relatively long, the lumbar gravity than lifted at noon is also large, so it is easy to cause lumbar injury. So then lift heavy or pick up something, to squat down first, waist straight, can lift or pick up. 3, sleep hard bed, soft bed try not to sleep, in order to prevent the waist in the process of sleeping for a long time in a passive state. 4, to actively carry out the lumbar back muscle exercise, after the phenomenon of lumbar leg pain has been relieved, can be appropriate to do the following exercises: supine kicking exercise: the exercise can help patients to prevent the compression of the nerves and the surrounding tissues of the adhesion of the situation. Low back muscle exercise: often backward kicking movement or walking backwards, can play a role in exercising the efficacy of the low back muscle; prone position, with the help of the abdomen to support the upper body, lift the lower body, this exercise can be very good exercise back muscle strength. The lumbar back muscles become strong can be very good control of the stability of the lumbar spine, in order to prevent the possibility of recurrence. Abdominal muscle exercise: patients lying on their backs, with the hip joint as the center, the lower limbs will be elevated, which can not only exercise the abdominal muscles, but also improve the stability of the patient’s lumbar spine, to prevent the recurrence of the phenomenon. The measures introduced above to prevent recurrence, the need for patients to exercise regularly, can not “three days fishing two days sun net” type, to have a persistent attitude, adhere to, can play a role.
