Mr. Liu called to ask: I am a warehouse manager, often bending down to lift heavy objects, occasionally will twist the waist, but often after a few days to get better. Last week, I accidentally twisted my waist again, and it still hurts badly after a week. I went to the hospital for a checkup and the doctor said it was a lumbar sprain, how should I treat it? Doctor’s answer: The nature of your work requires frequent bending and lifting of heavy objects, which increases the burden on the waist. According to your description, the diagnosis of “lumbar sprain” is clear, and it is estimated to be an acute sprain of the muscles, fascia, tendons and other soft tissues of the lumbar region. Acute lumbar sprain is mostly seen in young adults, mainly due to excessive weight-bearing, incorrect posture, uncoordinated movements, lack of preparatory activities or excessive range of activities, etc. According to the ancestral medical science, “the waist, a body of the important, supine turn side by side. The fall injury and pain, this injury in the tendons and bones and blood stagnation. Low back pain is also obtained due to flash and setback, flash and setback at the beginning, blood and gas must have stagnation”. Therefore, acute lumbar sprain should be treated with the method of moving qi and blood to relieve pain, first of all, to limit the lumbar activities, lying on a hard bed to rest. Generally speaking, non-surgical treatment includes acupuncture, massage, physiotherapy, internal and external application of Chinese medicine. Chinese herbal medicine taken internally can activate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, move qi and circulation, relieve pain, improve local circulation, remove pathological products and improve pain symptoms. After healing, patients should try to avoid re-torsion, and if necessary, take a wide belt of lumbar protection to protect the waist. When doing heavy physical work such as carrying, lifting, carrying, lifting, etc., a wide belt of lumbar protection must be used. When carrying and lifting heavy objects, try to keep the chest and waist straight, hip and knee flexion, get up with lower limb force, stand firmly and then step, when carrying and lifting heavy objects, take a semi-squatting position, so that the object is as close to the body as possible.
