The 21st century has entered the era of preventive medicine. Today, people are paying greater attention to the value of life, which was once neglected. The idea that “prevention is better than cure” has been universally recognized. As recorded in the classic Chinese medical text “Huangdi Neijing” more than 2,000 years ago, “When a disease has become a disease and then medicine is given, when a disorder has become a disease and then cure is given, it is like piercing a well with thirst, or casting a cone with a bucket, it is not too late!” When you lose your health, what does more money mean to you? Since the beginning of winter, the number of patients with lumbar disc herniation has increased in our outpatient clinic. Many patients do not have enough knowledge about the harm of lumbar disc herniation, plus some patients’ conditions are sometimes mild and sometimes severe, and some of them can be relieved on their own after a short rest, so they are often not taken seriously, so they miss the good opportunity of early prevention and treatment, which results in aggravation of the condition and even difficult to heal. Therefore, the prevention of lumbar disc herniation is very necessary. The following is based on people’s age, occupation, respectively, to introduce the prevention of lumbar disc herniation. 1, the prevention of office workers Office workers are characterized by sitting for a long time, some people go to work and sit until the end of the day, very little activity. So that the lumbar spine is in a long-term protruding state, the muscles and ligaments of the lumbar spine are in a state of tension, the lumbar spine after the joints and intervertebral discs are not balanced, easy to cause lumbar muscle strain, lumbar spondylolisthesis, and then herniation of intervertebral discs. So how can they prevent lumbar disc herniation? First of all, we must choose the right table and chairs, do not require tables and chairs how high-grade, but must be suitable for their own bodies and work habits, chairs are relatively low, the table is a little higher, chairs to avoid using swivel chairs with pulleys, because sitting in a swivel chair on the desktop, the waist has to pay a certain amount of force to maintain the stability of the chair, more likely to cause fatigue. It is best to choose a chair with a backrest and backrest below the protrusion, so that the lumbar spine to maintain a forward-flexed position. Chairs should be close to the table, the feet can be placed under a short stool, which can alleviate the fatigue of sitting for a long time. The correct sitting posture should be straight back with chest, avoid bowing on the table. Secondly, we must pay attention to the rhythm of work, work at the desk for about 1 hour should get up and move around, you can walk, you can also do upright position gymnastics, so that the lumbar muscle contraction and relaxation, exercise the strength of the lumbar back muscles to enhance the protection of the lumbar spine. Many offices have air conditioning, air conditioning can make the working environment cool, but also can make the lumbar cold, especially with chronic low back pain or have had lumbar disc herniation, should pay more attention. The easiest time to get cold is to sleep with the air conditioner on, and the next day when you get up, your back pain will be aggravated. In addition, the spare time should be appropriate to take some time to participate in physical exercise, to eliminate the “unit – home”, “home – unit” of the monotonous two-point-one-line lifestyle, so that their own life! The prevention of drivers 2, the driver’s prevention of car drivers suffer from lumbar disc herniation in the minority, which is due to the lumbar spine in a long time in the flexion position and the lumbosacral region for a long time by the shock caused by. Driver’s lumbar spine is in flexion for a long time, the lumbar spine gap for a long time before the narrow back wide, it is easy to lead to the occurrence of disc herniation. So, how should drivers prevent it? First of all, do not fatigue driving, continuous driving for about 1 hour it is best to stop and rest for 5 minutes, get off the lumbar spine, do a stretching action. Try not to drive fast, driving fast mental high tension, the body is easy to fatigue. Secondly, pay attention to the posture of the waist, it is best to make the angle of the backrest and the seat is 90 degrees, the back of the waist has a high cushion of about 10 centimeters, or their own preparation of a soft cushion fixed in the back of the waist, to reduce the body shaking caused by the change of speed, so that even if the driving time is longer, you will not feel fatigue. 3. Preventive measures for the elderly As people grow old, their bodies undergo a series of changes, such as osteoporosis, decreased elasticity of intervertebral discs, calcification of some ligaments, and osteophytes in joints, which can easily lead to lumbar muscle strain, lumbar compression fracture, herniated discs, and other pathologies. In order to prevent lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, the elderly should pay attention to the following points in their daily life: (1) Diet should be diversified, and can be increased appropriately by milk, seafood and other calcium-rich foods, to replenish the body’s loss of calcium, slowing down the body’s aging process. (2) Elderly people should often participate in moderate exercise, such as tai chi, walking, gateball, etc., to strengthen the joints and muscles, and improve the joint motor function. (3) Elderly people may have to face some more burdensome household chores, such as cooking and child care, etc. These tasks seem simple but are very tedious, and they should be reasonably arranged according to their own actual situation, and if they have difficulties and feel overwhelmed by their strength, they should never force themselves to do so if they have difficulties. Even if the work is within your ability, you should not be in a hurry to avoid sprains caused by sudden exertion. (4) in the occurrence of back pain should be actively treated, try to regular hospitals using regular massage, physiotherapy treatment, do not just find a traveler, do not take oral painkillers. Some of the popular fitness methods in society, it is best not to blindly imitate, so as not to aggravate back pain. As the saying goes, “the body is the capital of the revolution”. I hope that the majority of patients with lumbar disc herniation can establish confidence, actively take preventive measures, and bravely fight against the disease, I believe that in the near future you will be able to successfully get out of the haze of the disease, ushered in a bright and colorful dawn!
