The weather is cold, the lumbar intervertebral disc herniation patients more up. When you go to the hospital, the “old patients” have started to suffer from the disease. The doctor reminded everyone to avoid prolonged bending, such as sedentary, half lying in bed playing cell phones, at the same time, to do more exercise, to protect the lumbar spine. A, sedentary, lying in bed playing cell phones are not good for the waist cashier Xiao Li, to the ground to pick up a pen, a squat after the waist can no longer straighten up, walking only with crabs like slowly move. Xiao Li knows that it must be his own lumbar disc protrusion. To the hospital to see, and his similar “old patients” can be quite a lot. In addition to lumbar disc protrusion, shoulder and neck pain, lumbago, leg pain patients also more up. Not only is a sedentary occupation like Xiao Li will lumbar disc protrusion, there is a young friend Xiao Hu’s waist, recently also not very good. Xiao Hu often go out during the day work, like to rest more at night, often half lying in bed to play cell phones, sometimes reading comics, sometimes reading novels. He felt that lying down is already very relaxed, did not expect to still have a lumbar disc protrusion. The doctor told him in tears, lying down is indeed a relaxation of the lumbar spine, half lying instead of making the lumbar spine is very stressful. Want to protect the lumbar spine, but also to pay attention to the rest position. Why is it easy to have these problems when it’s cold? Due to the lower temperature in winter, resulting in the human body by the invasion of wind, cold and wet so that the local microvascular sudden contraction, blood circulation is not smooth, resulting in the neck, shoulder, waist and legs and other parts of the blood supply becomes poor, resulting in different nature of neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain. In winter, the temperature is low, the humidity is high, the cold and wet air stimulates the muscles of the lumbar back, causing varying degrees of muscle tension and spasm, and the pressure on the lumbar area rises, which in turn increases the pressure on the intervertebral discs, causing the rupture of the annulus fibrosus and triggering lumbar disc herniation. According to Chinese medicine, it is the “wind and cold evil invade the body”. The first thing you need to do is to take care of your back. First of all, we should pay attention to the back of the waist to prevent cold and keep warm, but also to prevent colds. The coughing symptoms that occur when you have a cold can easily increase abdominal pressure, which in turn transmits pressure to the lumbar discs, causing increased back pain. In case you accidentally catch a cold, when sneezing and coughing, you can hold the hand next to the chair, knees and hips slightly bent to reduce abdominal pressure. Some people like to wear a waist brace to enhance the support of the waist, which is also possible. However, when sleeping or waist without a large load, take the waist girth down to prevent disuse atrophy of the lumbar muscles. Secondly, avoid bending your waist directly for a long time many times. For example, when you get up in the morning, first from the flat position to the side position, and then use your arms to support your body to get up, and avoid directly supine position to get up. The pressure on the lumbar spine in the sitting position is much higher than in the standing and lying positions, and it is not good to sit for a long time. To pay attention to the correct sitting posture, you can place a small cushion in the back of the waist. Again is the daily exercise. Many older people like to exercise in the early morning. Do not know that the early morning temperature is very low, and easy to step on the ice led to slip, the body is harmful. Older people after retirement, exercise for a long time, we call it excessive exercise; so that the torso is easy to sweat, once the sweat becomes cool, it will become moisture directly stimulate the local muscle fascia, inducing low back pain. Avoid strenuous exercise, you can take a walk, backward walking, tai chi, bed line swallow fly or bridge exercise exercise low back muscle and abdominal muscle exercise. Swimming is a good way to promote recovery from the disease. But we should pay attention to a good warm-up exercise, swimming speed should be slow. Each exercise time can be controlled in about 30 minutes.
