The lumbar disc herniation, which used to be known as a disease of the elderly, is now increasingly “favored” by young urban white-collar workers. The result is often that the patient’s work life is seriously affected. The lumbar intervertebral disc herniation “younger” white-collar population previously, lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is mostly seen in the middle-aged and elderly groups and long-term physical labor groups. In recent years, lumbar leg pain patients have become younger, with young patients under 35 years old accounting for almost half of them, most of whom are white-collar workers engaged in desk work. Because the human body in a sitting position, if the sitting posture is poor, the pressure on the interlumbar disc will rise to 11 times that of the lying position. The long-term use of computers tend to sit poorly, so that the lumbar intervertebral disc in a long-term high-pressure state, resulting in lumbar disc lesions. As a result of the change in living habits, driving a car has also become the “hardest hit” by lumbar disc herniation, due to poor posture of the waist when driving for too long, the height of the seat and steering wheel are not coordinated and the lumbosacral area is subject to prolonged upsets, very easy to trigger lumbar disc herniation. So the seat should be properly moved to the steering wheel, so that the steering wheel in the case of steering as close to the chest as possible, while leaning back to the angle of 100 degrees is appropriate. The seat is too low shoulders will have the feeling of shrugging, too high is easy to make the lumbar vertebrae overstretched increased lumbar load, inducing lumbar disc herniation. The four main causes of lumbar disc herniation fatigue – lumbar hyperflexion in our daily activities, the lumbar spine is mostly in flexion, excessive work is equivalent to increase the time of lumbar flexion. Statistics show that the frequency of lumbar flexion can be as high as 3,000 to 5,000 times a day. This excessive, repeated flexion is the most common cause of intervertebral disc lesions. 1, vibration The spine is repeatedly stretched when driving the lumbosacral inherent frequency and the vibration of the seat in the car in the same low frequency range, so the lumbar spine is easy to resonate with the car when driving. This resonance means that the spine is constantly compressed and stretched, while the surrounding tissues and muscles also follow fatigue, affecting the metabolic rate of the lumbar intervertebral discs, will accelerate the degeneration of the lumbar spine, deformation. 2, subject to cold show a small waist waist especially afraid of cold. If you show your waist in winter, in order to resist the cold, the muscles of the lumbar back spasm, small blood vessels contraction, making the local blood circulation is reduced, will affect the supply of nutrients to the intervertebral discs, the pressure in the intervertebral discs rise, causing more damage. 3, sudden external force susceptible to lumbar sprain normal lumbar intervertebral relationships are elastic and tough, with strong resistance to pressure, can bear 450 kg of pressure without injury. But these forces must be gently pressed down from the front, if sudden force or sudden force after lack of exercise, it is easy to break its tolerance limit, triggering lumbar sprain. Prevention of lumbar disc herniation 1, engaged in long hours of bending or long-term ambulatory work personnel should maintain the correct posture to reduce the pressure within the lumbar disc, and regular stretching of the waist. It is recommended that after 60 minutes of work should be active for 10 minutes to relieve tired muscles. 2, strengthen the lumbar back muscle exercise, because the strong lumbar back muscles to maintain and protect the lumbar spine. Such as “swallow fly”, “five-point”, swimming, etc. are good ways to exercise the lumbar back muscles. 3, life will be reasonable force. When we need to bend over to carry heavy objects, bend over to hold children or suddenly twist the waist, there is a risk of injury to the lumbar muscles and lumbar intervertebral discs. Therefore, when lifting heavy objects, it is recommended that you squat down and lean your body forward so that the gravity is shared among the leg muscles. Those who do less physical work should pay particular attention to this. In addition, attention should be paid to keeping the lower back warm. Get out of the misunderstanding and seize the best time for treatment. There are still many patients, especially some young patients, who pay insufficient attention to the early manifestation of the disease as back and leg pain, and simply think that they can heal themselves by paying attention to rest. This is actually wrong, because if it is lumbar disc protrusion that causes lumbar leg pain, then as the disease develops, it may also cause lower limb numbness, coldness, weakness, and even paralysis and bowel and urinary disorders, which seriously affects the quality of life.
