This statement cannot be said to be incorrect, but it cannot be said to be right either and is likely to mislead others. Why can’t it be said to be incorrect? A herniated lumbar disc is a degenerative lesion, and this lesion can be said to be the inevitable result, but the time of its appearance varies, and this is related to the patient’s daily experience and habits. If this patient is in a sitting position for a long time, and also does not often get up and move, this unhealthy posture is going to accelerate this process, and some housewives, who need to bend over a lot to do housework and hold their children, which are all causative factors. These conditions, if they last for a long time, we can call them overwork, so such development may indeed lead to the occurrence of lumbar disc herniation, so from this point of view, lumbar disc herniation is indeed due to overwork. Why can’t we say it’s right? Low back problems, basically pain is most typical, but low back pain is not necessarily a lumbar herniation, there is a possibility of causing low back pain symptoms, that is lumbar muscle strain, lumbar muscle strain is the most consistent with the concept of overexertion, and is the most common, patients often have pain due to prolonged standing and sitting, and it will be more serious when exerting. The difference between lumbar muscle strain and lumbar disc herniation is vast, one light and one heavy, one early and one late, but it needs to be clear that the two are also related, for example, lumbar muscle strain for too long may induce lumbar disc herniation, and patients who already have lumbar disc herniation often have lumbar muscle strain at the same time. I correct a few of the mistakes you may make! 1, don’t sleep on a hard bed: not only can’t you relax and rest, you will only get more and more fatigued and aggravate your condition. 2, do not do strenuous movements: I do not deny that exercise is good for patients, but because everyone’s lumbar spine protrusion location and degree is different, although all called lumbar disc protrusion, but some movements will only make you more and more heavy. 3, massage please find a regular physician: in recent years, more and more massage and massage therapists, large and small rehabilitation stores are open all over the country, but there are a lot of no documents, just simply learned a few years, or even a few months of “fake doctor”, once the force is too strong, the wrong position, not only can not make the patient recover, but also tragedy. PS: Overexertion is not a direct cause of lumbar disc herniation, but one of the indirect causes of lumbar disc herniation.
