Six don’ts to remember when talking about lumbar discs.

1, do not “greedy cold” lumbar disc herniation compression of the nerve, will make the normal nerve edema and inflammation, lumbar back muscle tension, the whole lumbar blood circulation decline, nerve sensitivity to external stimuli to strengthen. Cold air stimulation is not conducive to lumbar blood circulation, stimulate the nerves and aggravate the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation, so that the pain is aggravated. 2, do not “eat irritating food” due to the lumbar disc herniation on the nerve compression stimulation, so that the sensitivity of the nerve to external stimuli to enhance the sensitivity to the food in the cold, tobacco and alcohol, such as irritating as sensitive to relieve the pain caused by the lumbar disc herniation is very unfavorable, so we should try to avoid. 3.Don’t “bend down to pick things and lift heavy objects” The lumbar disc is between the upper and lower two vertebrae, which is in the state of wide front and narrow back, so suddenly bending down to pick things is not conducive to the lumbar disc retraction. Lifting heavy objects will often unilateral body force, also unfavorable to the lumbar intervertebral disc, so avoid bending over to pick things, picking things should be squatting first. 4, do not “long-term stooping”, such as some of the work requires long-term stooping force, such as carpenters planing wood, farmers hoeing, etc., in these jobs, the lumbar intervertebral discs to withstand the pressure of the general standing more than double! Such as from the well when bending over to lift water, lumbar pressure can be increased by 5 times! Therefore, the incidence of long-term stooping work is high, and the incidence of lumbar disc herniation is also high. Long-term bending on the lumbar intervertebral disc pressure is very large, is not conducive to lumbar intervertebral disc recovery. 5, do not “long-term sedentary” long-term sitting work such as long-term desk workers, drivers, factory assembly line workers, etc., the incidence of low back pain is high. Long-term sedentary, lumbar spine in a backward curved state, lumbar muscles and ligaments are in a state of tension, lumbar intervertebral disc pressure increased by 10 times! Lumbar muscles and lumbar ligaments of long-term tension, there will be chronic strain injury, the stability of the lumbar and protective decline, at the same time, sedentary lumbar intervertebral disc overload caused by lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration, it is easy to make the intervertebral disc fibrous annulus rupture under the action of the external force, nucleus pulposus protrusion compression of the nerve. Therefore, it is very meaningful to adhere to the workplace exercises or change position during working hours, we can sit every 20-30 minutes to stand up and walk around, to develop good habits. 6, do not “use explosive force” lumbar disc tissue in between the two lumbar vertebrae, bear the pressure of the lumbar vertebrae and movement. If suddenly overloaded explosive force, it is easy to make the disc injury. Therefore, we should move the lumbar region and exert force slowly before we exert force. For example, when lifting heavy objects, prepare the posture first and do not exert force suddenly. Especially patients with lumbar disc herniation, explosive force is easy to tear the originally stable lumbar disc fibrous ring wound, aggravating the condition.
