Lumbar spondylosis is a very common disease, covering lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spondylolisthesis, lumbar muscle strain, lumbar sprain, lumbar spine degenerative disease and other diseases, many people are because of the usual inattention, accidentally sprained the waist, or do heavy work resulting in lumbar muscle strain and so on. Diseases have never disappeared since ancient times, and now the tendency of disease outbreaks is increasing. Some people may have difficulty swallowing for no apparent reason, which may be an early symptom of a disease outbreak. How to prevent the disease has become a priority? So, what is lumbar spondylosis? The following with you to learn about this knowledge! Lumbar spondylolisthesis: a common disease in which the nucleus pulposus protrudes and compresses the spinal nerve root after the fibrous ring between the vertebrae ruptures, leading to lumbar and leg pain, which is more common in young adults aged 20-45 years old and more common in males than females. Most of the patients have different degrees of trauma history, resulting in lumbar intervertebral disc fibrous ring rupture, the nucleus pulposus protrudes backward or backward and presses on the spinal nerve root causing lumbar and leg pain. In the clinical manifestations: lumbar pain, limited lumbar activity and low back pain as the main symptoms of the disease. Symptoms of lumbar spondylosis: 1, lumbago: more than 95% of patients with lumbar spondylosis have this symptom. The patient consciously lumbar persistent dull pain, lying down to alleviate, standing is aggravated, generally tolerable, lumbar can be moderate activities or slow walking, the other for the sudden lumbar spasm-like pain, intolerable, need to lie down in bed, seriously affecting the life and work. 2, lower extremity radiating pain: 80% of patients with this disease, often in the lumbar pain to reduce or disappear after the appearance. Manifested by the waist to the thighs and calves of the back of the radioactive stimulation or numbness, straight to the bottom of the foot, or in severe cases, from the waist to the foot of the electric shock-like pain, and more accompanied by numbness pain. In mild cases, the patient can walk with a limp; in severe cases, the patient needs to rest in bed, and likes to bend the waist, bend the hip, bend the knee position. 3, lower limb numbness, cold and intermittent claudication: lower limb numbness is mostly accompanied by pain, a small number of patients can be manifested as simple numbness, a small number of patients consciously lower limb cold, cold. Mainly because the sympathetic nerve fibers in the spinal canal are stimulated. The mechanism and clinical manifestations of intermittent claudication are similar to those of lumbar spinal stenosis, mainly due to the herniated nucleus pulposus, which can be secondary to the pathological and physiological symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis. 4, cauda equina symptoms: mainly seen in central type nucleus pulposus prolapse, clinically less common. Perineal numbness, tingling, urinary and fecal dysfunction may occur. Urinary incontinence may occur in women, and impotence may occur in men. In severe cases, loss of bowel control and incomplete paralysis of both lower limbs may occur. Causes of lumbar spondylosis: 1, increased abdominal pressure, such as violent coughing, constipation when straining to defecate. 2, improper lumbar posture, when the lumbar region is in a flexed position, such as sudden rotation is easy to induce nucleus pulposus protrusion. 3, sudden weight bearing, in the absence of adequate preparation, suddenly increase the lumbar load, easy to cause lumbar sprain, herniated nucleus pulposus. 4, lumbar trauma, acute trauma can affect the fibrous ring, cartilage plate and other structures, and promote the degeneration of the herniated nucleus pulposus. 5, occupational factors, such as car drivers in a long-term sitting position and bumpy state, easy to induce disc herniation. 6, excessive fatigue, lumbar spine excessive bending, according to statistics, lumbar spine flexion frequency in the highest number of times a day up to 3000-5000 times. Like this excessive, repeated flexion is the most common cause of disc lesions. 7, long-term cold, our waist is particularly afraid of cold, if often exposed waist, the body in order to ward off the cold, the muscles of the lumbar back will spasm, the small blood vessels also contracted, making the local blood circulation is constantly reduced, which will affect the disc of the nutrients do not get a timely supply of intervertebral discs, the pressure within the discs is elevated, resulting in more injuries. Treatment of lumbar spondylosis: 1, physical therapy: mainly including massage massage, acupuncture, electrotherapy, cupping and other therapies, such therapies are also mainly anti-inflammatory pain, blood circulation is the main focus, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, it is difficult to cure. Therefore, this method is only suitable for the treatment of patients with mild symptoms. 2.Closure therapy: Injecting drugs around the pain points and nerve roots is called closure therapy. Mainly play the role of anti-inflammatory pain, improve blood circulation. After the closed, the pain is obviously reduced, but it does not last long and will recur afterward, so it can not be regarded as the main treatment method. 3, traction therapy: mainly through the principle of mechanical force and reaction force, the lumbar spine to exert traction, widen the intervertebral space to reduce the pressure on the intervertebral discs, to promote the intervertebral discs back to lift the irritation of the nerve root and other tissues and compression. However, the strength of traction should be grasped accurately, and professional physicians must be found to carry out traction, otherwise it may lead to serious consequences. 4, minimally invasive intervention therapy: under the guidance of the navigation system directly to the site of the lesion, targeting the cause of the treatment. It has the efficacy of small trauma, high safety coefficient and quick recovery of health. Therefore, it has replaced the above therapies to become the most widely used treatment method for lumbar spondylosis. Prevention of lumbar spondylosis: 1, to reduce the waist injury, moisture. 2, avoid long-term strenuous exercise. Long-term, excessive, strenuous exercise or activity is one of the basic reasons for inducing osteoporosis. 3, fitness exercise. Adhere to a variety of long-term fitness exercises to prevent osteoporosis and osteomalacia in middle age and old age. Walking, aerobics, taijiquan, taiji sword, long-distance running and other sports are good ways to exercise. 4, health care massage. Can be used in a sitting or standing position, with both hands palm and each finger from top to bottom in the waist massage, the force from light to heavy, until the local heat, can promote blood circulation in the waist, relieve muscle stiffness and tension. 5, maintain a good standing posture. Double knee joints slightly flexed, gluteus maximus muscle mild contraction, natural contraction of the abdominal muscles, lumbar spine mildly straightened, reduce the lumbosacral angle, increase spinal support, prevent lumbar disc injury. 6, maintain a good sitting position. Maintain a correct sitting position when operating the computer. Please make sure to sit with the whole foot on the ground. You can also adjust your workstation, chair, and use a footrest. If you use a footrest, make sure that the width of the footrest is wide enough to allow the legs to move freely in the work area. 7, strengthen the low back muscle function exercise. The spine is an organ composed of bones and attached muscles, the stability of the lumbar spine depends on the good function of the lumbar back muscles to care. But not blindly, to consult a professional doctor. Adhere to the lumbar health care exercise, often lumbar spine activities in all directions, so that the lumbar spine always maintain physiological stress state, strengthen the lumbar muscles and abdominal muscle exercises. The strength of the lumbar and abdominal muscles can increase the stability of the lumbar spine, the protection of the waist to strengthen the ability to prevent the lumbar spine degenerative changes. 8, the bed should be soft and moderate. Avoid sleeping bed too hard or too soft, so that the lumbar muscle to get enough rest; avoid lumbar by wind, dampness and cold invasion, avoid lumbar for a long time in a posture, muscle imbalance, resulting in lumbar strain. 9, lifting heavy objects should be squatting first, with the waist for too long should change the posture of the waist, more lumbar activities to prevent gradual strain. Because of the nature of the work and excessive use of the waist or has produced a mild strain, should avoid further aggravation of the strain and eventually cause lumbar degeneration.
