Lumbar disc herniation is the most common cause of back and leg pain, once suffering from this disease, the patient walks for a long time leg numbness, stand for a long time back pain, lying down, sitting are not a taste. How can we avoid getting into lumbar disc herniation? Exertion improper or excessive easy lumbar injury caused by lumbar disc herniation has many causes, generally believed to be lumbar disc dynamics load caused by. Under normal circumstances, the intervertebral discs are often compressed by the weight, plus the lumbar region is often flexion, extension and other activities, more likely to cause greater extrusion and wear and tear of the intervertebral discs, especially in the lower lumbar region of the intervertebral discs, resulting in a series of degenerative changes. After different degrees of degenerative changes, under the action of external factors, the intervertebral disc fibrous ring rupture, nucleus pulposus tissue from the rupture place protrudes (or out) in the back or the spinal canal, resulting in adjacent tissues, such as the spinal nerve root, the spinal cord and other tissues suffered from irritation or compression, resulting in lumbar pain, one side of the lower limbs or both lower limbs, numbness, pain, and a series of clinical symptoms. Drivers beware of lumbar protrusion to find the door Occupation and lumbar disc herniation has a very close relationship. For example, the driver is in a long-term sitting position and bumpy state, so that when driving a car, the disc pressure is high, in the clutch pressure is more than twice the usual pressure, in the long run it is easy to cause lumbar disc herniation. Engaged in heavy manual labor and weight lifting athletes are also lumbar disc herniation frequent visitor, this is because in the state of bending, if you lift 20 kilograms of heavy objects, the instantaneous pressure within the disc can be increased to 30 kappa per square centimeter or more, equivalent to to the waist on the pressure of a small elephant. Pregnant women are also lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, this is due to the whole ligament system during pregnancy is in a state of relaxation, after the longitudinal ligament relaxation easy to make the disc bulging. In addition, some “accidental triggers” will also make the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc suddenly protruded, such triggering factors are roughly the following: such as sudden violent coughing, sneezing, breath-holding, defecation, etc.; and such as bending the waist when the sudden force of the twist (often referred to as twisting the waist of the situation); and there is usually a lack of exercise suddenly back the Heavy objects. Lifting heavy objects body forward on the force of the correct lifestyle and posture, to avoid lumbar disc herniation is very important. Because lumbar disc herniation is a mechanical condition not caused by low immunity, it cannot be prevented or treated by physical exercise. On the contrary, improper exercise can cause or aggravate the condition. We usually pay attention to the combination of work and rest, avoid overload carrying things, and do not play poker and mahjong all night, long-distance driving is best to drive two hours to rest once, long-distance travel is best to sit on the sleeper. Car people should move the seat properly to the steering wheel, so that the steering wheel in the case of not affecting the steering as close as possible to the chest, while leaning against the back tilt angle of 100 degrees is appropriate. Seat too low shoulders will be uncomfortable, too high is easy to make the lumbar spine overstretching increased lumbar load, easily induced lumbar disc herniation. Pregnant women, on the other hand, it is best to put around the belly band, which can reduce the burden on the waist to a certain extent. When lifting heavy objects, it is recommended that you squat down, lean your body forward, so that the gravity is shared in the leg muscles, especially less physical labor people especially need to pay attention. In addition, attention should be paid to keeping the lower back warm. Only 10% of people need surgery Herniated lumbar discs are an annoying disease, but it’s not really “scary” to have to deal with them. The most uncomfortable part of a herniated disc is the pain. What can be done to eliminate the pain of a herniated disc? Surgery is a radical cure, but the vast majority of people are afraid of cervical spondylosis and lumbar spondylosis surgery, firstly, they are afraid of the trauma of surgery; secondly, they are afraid of the risk, in case the pain is not cured, but aggravated or paralyzed, how to do? In fact, both in the past and now, only about 10% of patients with lumbar disc herniation need surgical treatment, and generally conservative treatment does not exceed three months, and surgery is only considered when it is ineffective. Many patients usually choose bed rest, traction, massage, acupuncture and other ways to reduce pain, but there are times when these methods do not work. When this happens, patients can try to go to a pain clinic. The doctor will give local injections of local anesthetics, immunomodulators, and nutritive nerves with a very fine puncture needle near the affected nerve under imaging guidance to eliminate nerve edema and relieve nerve compression, or use physical or chemical methods to selectively block the nociceptive nerve or ablate the nucleus pulposus to relieve low back pain. This approach is more efficient and less invasive and risky. Of course, not all spinal lesions can be treated with this approach, and some severe cases should be operated on.
