A look at whether the lumbar activities are limited. Lumbar muscle strain on the patient’s lumbar activity is very small, under normal circumstances, our waist can be forward drive, backward extension, left, right, patients with lumbar muscle strain can still carry out these activities, but for the lumbar disc herniation patients, lumbar activity will have some kind of obstacle, such as can not be forward ah, can not be right leaning ah, there will be some kind of directional restriction of the activity. The second is to see whether there is leg pain. Lumbar disc herniation will have symptoms of leg pain when it develops to a certain degree. And the pain of lumbar strain will not have leg pain, just lumbar pain. Again, look at the pain. Lumbar disc herniation will have hidden pain in the back pain performance. While the lumbar pain caused by lumbar muscle strain is with soreness and even severe pain. In addition to this, you can also observe the pressure points. Patients with lumbar disc herniation will have a pressure point 1 inch beside the lumbar vertebrae and will feel pain when pressed, while patients with lumbar muscle strain will not have a pressure point beside the lumbar vertebrae, but will have pain on both sides of the lower back away from the midline of the back.
