Lumbar lordosis, which is the straightening of the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine, may be caused by lumbar muscle strain, lumbar vertebral hyperplasia, ankylosing spondylitis and so on. The causes of the disease are different, and the treatment methods are different. Common treatments include general treatment, medication and surgery.
1. Lumbar muscle strain: If you hunch your back for a long time or sit for a long time, it will cause lumbar muscle strain and pain, which will lead to an imbalance of muscle strength, and the forward protruding curvature of the lumbar vertebrae will gradually become smaller to the extent that it will become inverted. Patients should correct the bad posture, strengthen the function of lumbar back muscles, such as small swallow fly, arch bridge support, etc., which can improve the imbalance of lumbar back muscle strength, and help restore the curvature of lumbar vertebrae.
2. Lumbar spine hyperplasia: Lumbar spine hyperplasia will form bone spurs at the lumbar spine, change the stress structure of the lumbar spine, and then change the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine, resulting in lumbar spine inversion. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers, such as ibuprofen, can be used as prescribed by the doctor to alleviate the pain caused by lumbar spondylolisthesis and improve lumbar lordosis. In severe cases, surgery can be performed to remove the bone spurs and correct the stress structure of the lumbar spine to improve the lumbar lordosis.
3. Ankylosing spondylitis: Patients suffering from ankylosing spondylitis often have chronic inflammation of the spine and surrounding soft tissues and joints, and in severe cases, the ligaments are ossified to form dendritic changes, and the lumbar spine stress is changed, which leads to lumbar spine deformation and even lumbar spine anticlipsy.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to reduce pain, such as meloxicam. Exercise training such as swimming and gymnastics under the supervision of a doctor can enhance the flexibility of the lumbar spine and improve lumbar lordosis.
In addition, lumbar lordosis may be caused by congenital malformation of lumbar spine and lumbar spine fracture. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time for diagnosis of the cause and targeted treatment by the doctor.
