Precautions for lumbar intervertebral discs

The “lumbar disc”, “six do not” please remember 1, do not “greedy cold” lumbar disc herniation compression nerve, will make the normal nerve edema and inflammation, low back muscle tension, the whole waist The blood circulation decreases and the sensitivity of the nerves to external stimuli is enhanced. The stimulation of cold air is not conducive to lumbar blood flow, stimulating the nerves and aggravating the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation, making the pain worse. 2, do not “eat irritating food” because of the lumbar disc herniation of the nerve compression stimulation, so that the sensitivity of the nerve to external stimuli to strengthen, as sensitive to food cold, tobacco and alcohol and other irritants, to relieve the pain caused by lumbar disc herniation is very unfavorable, so try to avoid. 3, don’t “bend over to pick things and carry heavy things” lumbar disc in the upper and lower two vertebrae, in the front of the wide narrow state, suddenly bend over to pick things is not conducive to lumbar disc back. Lifting heavy things often unilateral body force, but also unfavorable to the lumbar disc, so to avoid bending over picking things, picking things should first squat. 4, do not “long-term bending” such as some work requires long-term bending force, such as woodworking planing wood, farmers hoeing, etc., in these jobs, the lumbar disc pressure than the general standing increased by more than double! Such as from the well when bending over to carry water, lumbar pressure can be increased by 5 times! Therefore, the incidence of low back pain is high in long-term bending work, and the incidence of lumbar disc herniation is also high. Long-term bending of the lumbar disc pressure is very large, unfavorable lumbar disc recovery. 5, do not “long-term sedentary” long-term seated 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 vertebrae in a backbending state, lumbar muscles and ligaments are in a state of tension, the pressure on the lumbar discs increased by 10 times! The long-term tension of the lumbar muscles and lumbar ligaments, there will be a chronic strain injury, the stability and protection of the lumbar decreased, at the same time, the sedentary lumbar disc overload caused by lumbar disc degeneration, it is easy to make the disc fibrous ring rupture under the action of external forces, the nucleus pulposus protrusion compressed nerve. So adhere to the interval exercise or work time to change position is very meaningful, we can sit every 20-30 minutes to stand a little, walk a little, to develop good habits. 6, do not “use explosive force” lumbar disc tissue between the two lumbar vertebrae, bearing the pressure and movement of the lumbar spine. If suddenly subjected to an overload of explosive force, it is easy to make the intervertebral disc injury. Therefore, we should move the waist before exerting force, and slowly exert force. For example, lifting heavy objects, first ready posture, do not suddenly force. Especially for patients with lumbar disc herniation, explosive force tends to tear the otherwise stable lumbar disc fibrous ring wound and aggravate the healing process.
