The lumbar intervertebral disc, as a tissue of the body, degenerates as a person ages, just like any other tissue. Studies have shown that after the age of 20, the lumbar disc begins to show signs of degeneration. This degeneration as the cause of the disease for a long time, and if there is an accidental injury damage to the waist, it will certainly accelerate its process to varying degrees, and then cause the lumbar disc protrusion, leading to the disease. There are many accidental injuries in life, such as careless sudden turning, bending, lifting heavy objects, heavy direct blows, car accidents, etc., which may cause lumbar disc herniation. How to prevent lumbar disc herniation? First of all, avoid trauma as much as possible When an acute lumbar sprain occurs, you must first rest in a hard bed and try to reduce your lumbar activities for a short time. At home, you can also apply hot compresses to the injury. In serious cases, you can go to the hospital for medical consultation. For a long time not to heal or even the emergence of lower limb symptoms, it is important to go to the hospital in time to check, to prevent delayed illness. Secondly, physical exercise should be actively done to slow down the rate of lumbar disc degeneration. For patients who have already occurred and reduced or even cured, functional exercise of the lumbar back muscles can enhance muscle strength, increase the stability of the crest and achieve the purpose of disease prevention and treatment. There are many ways to exercise the lumbar back muscles, and medical treatment mostly uses methods such as the swallow-fly style. From a professional point of view, Chinese and Western medicine experts agree that regardless of any type of lumbar disc herniation, regular conservative treatment should be routinely used first to observe for a period of time, and only if it is not effective should the latter two options be considered. In fact, most patients’ symptoms can be reduced or subside with conservative treatment. There are many kinds of conservative treatments, such as massage, traction, physiotherapy, acupuncture, drugs, etc., which need to be applied under the guidance of a professional doctor. In addition, patients should be reminded that bed rest is also a very important conservative treatment method in clinical practice, which can be used at home once it occurs, and should never be ignored.
