How to prevent back pain is the best way

  The incidence of low back pain from various causes is very high, and almost everyone has a history of low back pain. Although there are more treatment methods for low back pain, there is still a lack of “panacea”. Patients who are suffering from low back pain may feel more deeply about this. In addition, low back pain has a certain recurrence rate, many patients are reluctant, but often become “repeat customers” who “visit” the doctor. So is there no rule for low back pain? Not only do patients have deep doubts about this, but doctors also find it difficult, and there is the lament of “patients with back pain and doctors with headaches”. We are not helpless in treating low back pain, the use of Tui Na as the main treatment with acupuncture, traction and other integrated therapy has been clinically significant effect, and the most important measure is prevention.  Prevention plays an important role in the medical treatment of any disease. To nip the disease in the bud and prevent it before it happens is a positive and active medical treatment. The human waist has a complex structure, more soft tissues, a wide range of activities, a large load, and more movement of the waist when engaged in various activities, which is easy to cause lumbar sprain and lumbago. If we pay attention to various aspects according to the different age, gender, physique and work situation of individuals and protect the lumbar area well, then the incidence, severity and recurrence rate of low back pain will be significantly reduced.  Many patients with low back pain, even the more serious lumbar disc herniation patients, often say that low back pain occurs without any cause when they understand the onset of the process, but in fact, it is impossible to really have no cause. The majority of patients have no sudden external cause of injury, but often due to unscientific daily activities such as standing, sitting, lying and walking, so that the back is in an abnormal physiological state. In fact, the side effects of a bad posture over time are even more than those caused by external injuries. Therefore, the preventive measures for low back pain should not only be placed on labor protection, but also on daily activities such as standing, sitting, lying and walking.  The correct standing posture should be eyes level, jaw slightly inward, chest up, waist and back straight, calves slightly closed, legs upright, the distance between the two feet is about the same as the width of the pelvis. Of course, a long time standing in one position is not sustainable, can be the “rest” position, the feet swap. In addition, standing should not be too long, standing for a while can be appropriate in situ activities, especially the back part of the activities to eliminate the fatigue of the back muscles.  The correct sitting posture should be straight upper body, tuck in the abdomen, jaw slightly tucked, double lower limbs together. If possible, a foot or footstool under the feet, so that the knee joint is slightly higher than the hip, which can make the low back more straight and less likely to bend. This posture because the lumbosacral ligaments, muscles, etc. are not overly stretched, so the lumbar spine can be kept straight, and the body consumes less energy, sitting in a chair with a backrest, should be based on the above posture, as far as possible, the lumbar back close and lean on the back of the chair, so that the lumbosacral muscles are not too fatigued.  In sleep we can not “sleep like a bow”, but from a biomechanical point of view, but also to pay attention to the posture. If the sleep posture is not appropriate, not only can induce lumbar pain, but also cause cervical spondylosis. In ancient times, we pay much attention to the posture of sleep. Song Cai Jitong in his “Sleep Tips” proposed: “sleep on the side and flex, sleep and stretch.” Meaning that side sleep should be slightly flexed point body, supine sleep should stretch the body. This can make the muscles, especially the lumbar back muscles in a relaxed state, not only conducive to sleep and sleep, but also to relieve or prevent back pain. In addition, the bed should choose a plank bed with thick pad, and wire bed, Simmons double soft bed is easy to make the lumbar spine physiological flexion change, resulting in lumbar muscle and other soft tissue strain.  Normal walking is a natural, rhythmic, seemingly easy, effortless lower limb movement. But in the process of walking, in addition to the movement of the lower limbs and pelvis, the spine, especially the lumbar spine, also plays an important role. In walking, the lumbar spine can not be biased to any side, should maintain a neutral position, otherwise it is easy to cause excessive burden on the waist. Women suffering from lumbago should not wear high heels walking, the heel height of about 3 cm is more appropriate. Because the heel height increases by 1 cm, the lumbar back extension and contraction of the lumbar back muscles will increase exponentially, so that the chances of low back pain will greatly increase. In addition, when walking up and down the stairs, if the walking posture is not appropriate, there will be a foot “air” and flashing waist situation. Good walking posture can prevent and treat low back pain.  At the same time, you can carry out some sports within your ability, such as swimming is more suitable for patients with low back pain, and freestyle and backstroke are more suitable; medical gymnastics exercises, such as supine leg bending and abdominal exercise, prone swallow flying exercise, etc., according to the strength, step by step; backward walking exercise, generally 2 times in the morning and evening, 20 minutes each time, exercise as much as possible to lift the chest and thighs; also can be combined with self massage to enhance the lumbar Blood circulation, strengthen the strength of the lumbar back muscles, so as to reduce the recurrence of back pain symptoms.
