The expert Ning Bin told reporters that the modern pace of life, many young people do not pay attention to the subtlety of protecting themselves, resulting in the increasing incidence of lumbar spine disease, and even the trend of underage. With the increasing pace of modern life, people’s bones seem to become weaker and weaker, suffering from shoulder and back pain, lumbar spine pain more and more young people, Jinan Central Hospital spine surgery expert Ning Bin brought expertise to the majority of readers, I hope to help you. Ning Bin told reporters that the pace of modern life is intense, some occupations themselves have some pressure on the lumbar spine. Drivers, foundry workers and porters and other occupations, the most prone to lumbar pain. According to medical research, human activities to make the lumbar spine weight from light to heavy order are bed (lying down), side lying, standing, sitting, standing forward bending, sitting forward bending, standing weight, the most serious is forward bending weight, and these prone to lumbar pain occupation is precisely the work of forward bending weight. Ning Bin reminded everyone to pay attention to the upper body of human support depends entirely on the lumbar spine, human walking upright in the liberation of hands, the creation of human civilization at the same time also brought great pressure and injury to the lumbar spine. “The spine is not completely upright, it has four bending points, such as the chest, sacral bending. Our neck and waist can turn because the bones in these two parts are mobile and not completely fixed. This is why there is more pain in the cervical and lumbar spine.” The cause of lumbar pain Ning Bin believes that lumbar spine disease is due to many factors, including improper sitting, sedentary, chair ratio is not coordinated, driving for a long time, excessive weight bearing and other factors can cause lumbar spine disease. For example, many people sit in the office for a long time, like to sit with a slant, or stretched legs, or part or half of the hip sitting on the chair, or sitting on a swivel chair leaning back to shake around, and so on. In fact, the above sitting posture will make the lumbar spine change the normal physiological flexion and biomechanical state, lumbar muscle load asymmetry, lumbosacral vertebral joint activities are not coordinated, a long time, must lead to lumbar muscle strain or lumbosacral intervertebral joint strain. Ning Bin said, for this situation, we should strengthen their own protection. First of all, sit upright, after working for a period of time, as appropriate, adjust their work position, do not let the waist in a long-term twisted posture. Every hour or so of work, should stand up to move the waist, do back stretch, left and right rotation of the waist and other movements, can also take a walk in place, can prevent and alleviate the occurrence of back pain. Ning Bin reminded that sitting pressure on the intervertebral disc, equivalent to two to three times standing. People engaged in the nature of the work of head down to pay attention to the prevention of lumbar spondylosis, there should be appropriate intervals of activity rest time, you can sit in every 40 to 60 minutes, change the posture, or stand up and walk, rest 5 to 10 minutes. Ning Bin proposed, sedentary office citizens, you can try the scientific standard exercise, conducive to the prevention of cervical and lumbar spondylosis. Adhere to strengthen the exercise of the lumbar muscle, do more stretching, abdominal exercise. Can also make the “swallow” action: head, arms back, waist action, to enhance the endurance of sitting office. Especially the elderly should do so, but be careful not to exercise too much, so as not to cause unnecessary damage, swimming is also a very good way to exercise.
