Office workers should not be sedentary for more than 2 hours

  At present, low back pain has become one of the most common clinical pain, but many people do not pay enough attention to it, now gradually into the autumn and winter season, middle-aged and elderly people’s low back pain began to frequent attacks, and as the weather becomes cooler and colder, the pain will be more serious. However, nowadays, low back pain is no longer the patent of the elderly, in recent years, with the popularity of computer office, low back pain onset of the population is a younger trend. So, why is low back pain getting more and more serious? How should we protect the waist?  The office workers have become the “hardest hit” white-collar workers have become a high incidence of low back pain Low back pain is caused by a variety of reasons. Low back pain has a high incidence among manual workers, such as porters, underground miners, carpenters and car drivers. Middle-aged and elderly people are the most common group of people with low back pain, but in recent years, due to the popularity of computerized offices, many young white-collar workers also suffer from low back pain.  As they are engaged in the work of the brain, long hours of concentrated ambulation work easily lead to lumbar muscle and lumbar spine degeneration, at the same time, the intense pace of modern life so that they have little time to adhere to regular physical fitness exercise. Although some young white-collar workers have the concept of fitness, but they do not know how to combine static and dynamic, how to gradually carry out fitness exercise, so the office workers become the “hardest hit” by lumbar and leg pain. So in general, the high prevalence of low back pain is office workers, administrators, teachers, IT staff and individual athletes.  If the safflower oil does not work, go to the hospital for treatment. Low back pain is the most common and early symptom of lumbar disc herniation, more than 90% of patients have this symptom, while more than 80% are accompanied by lower limb radiating pain. This is due to strain and degeneration of the lumbar disc, or sudden change in position or overloading of the lumbar area, which leads to rupture of the fibrous ring of the lumbar disc, causing the central nucleus pulposus to protrude backward from the fissure and compress the nerve roots, resulting in the typical clinical symptoms of lumbar and leg pain and numbness. When low back pain is accompanied by leg pain, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. The attacks of low back and leg pain in middle-aged and elderly people are sometimes relieved by resting, smearing some safflower oil, taking some painkillers and massaging. Professor Lin Hong-sheng especially reminds that if repeated smearing of safflower oil still does not work, you should go to the hospital for treatment, because lumbar and leg pain is a common symptom of lumbar disc herniation, and early treatment is needed to avoid delaying the condition.  Lumbar spinal stenosis can also cause lumbar leg pain Lumbar spinal stenosis can also cause lumbar leg pain, mainly manifested as lumbosacral pain and intermittent claudication, lumbosacral pain often involves both sides, standing, walking aggravated, bed, sitting alleviated, leg pain is significantly less than those with disc herniation, the cause of symptoms in addition to spinal stenosis, mostly due to the combination of disc bulge or lateral saphenous fossa stenosis.  70% to 80% of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis have intermittent claudication, which is characterized by no symptoms at rest, leg pain, weakness and numbness after walking a short distance, and the symptoms disappear after a little time of squatting and sitting, and in severe lesions, symptoms can also appear when standing with chest up and waist out, so patients must be alert.  MRI is required to confirm the diagnosis of lumbar pain caused by lumbar herniation Some lumbar herniations can be diagnosed by minimally invasive spinal techniques using intervertebral foraminoscopy. There are many clinical diseases that cause lumbar leg pain, and the treatment is also disease-specific. For example, for lumbar leg pain caused by lumbar disc herniation, mild to moderate herniation is treated mainly by conservative treatment, such as absolute bed rest, with drugs, traction and other treatments. Some patients are reluctant to undergo surgery because they have a lot of concerns, resulting in the delay of the disease, so minimally invasive spinal techniques such as discoscopy or intervertebral foramoscopy can also be used.  The high incidence of low back pain, remember the four points of health care prevention low back pain seriously affects people’s workforce and quality of life, Professor Lin Hongsheng especially reminded us to pay attention to preventive health care work, low back pain will stay away from us.  1, Jue rest choose a hard texture of the bed after 25 years old, sleep and rest choose a hard texture of the bed, can be a wooden bed on the pad quilt, or with a brown bed. Too soft texture of the bed in the human body lying down due to the weight of the compression, resulting in the middle low, four high shape, which tends to affect the normal physiological curvature of the lumbar spine, resulting in lumbar muscle fatigue, easy to induce intervertebral disc degeneration. The choice of hard bed is more appropriate, when using the bed board can be laid on the bedding to increase comfort, while maintaining a reasonable physiological curvature of the lumbar spine.  2, the Ministry straight up, to have three 90 degrees sitting, the waist straight up, to have three 90 degrees, that is, flexed hip, flexed knee and flexed elbow each 90 degrees on the position. All parts of the body are in a functional position, relatively relaxed state, which is not easy to strain. Maintain the correct sitting posture to avoid increasing the pressure within the lumbar intervertebral disc.  3, down to carry things, rely on the legs to force to get up daily life inevitably need to grasp heavy objects. Incorrect grasping posture, will increase the lumbar spine stress, may damage the small joints of the lumbar spine and lumbar muscles, causing accelerated lumbar degeneration. The correct posture when grabbing heavy objects should first squat, grab the weight and then stand up, reduce bending, reduce the excessive force on the lumbar muscles, mainly through the role of leg strength to grab heavy objects.  4, time try not to exceed two hours Watch TV to maintain good posture, sit for as long as possible not to exceed two hours, an hour to stand up and relax, stretching, stand up and take a walk. Commuters pay particular attention to: driving can be equipped with lumbar cushion.
