Most of the patients with lumbar disc herniation are young adults between the ages of 20-40. In recent years, with the diversified changes in lifestyle, the number of patients has shown an increasing trend, which seriously affects their normal work and daily life. Although medication or surgery is needed to treat this disease, usual care is more important. Here we will give you a comprehensive introduction to some of the daily rehabilitation precautions, I hope to help you recover health soon: Dietary Arrangements Patients with lumbar disc herniation have reduced a certain amount of activity due to illness, so the dietary intake should also be reduced appropriately, gastrointestinal peristalsis slows down the digestive function is lowered, so it should be a reasonable arrangement of the diet, pay attention to eating small meals, eat more vegetables, fruits, and beans, and eat more foods that contain a high calcium content, such as milk, milk products, and other calcium-containing foods. Eat more food with high calcium content, such as milk, dairy products, shrimp, kelp, sesame paste, soy products, etc., which is good for calcium supplementation, but patients with bone spurs (osteomalacia) in the lumbar vertebrae should not consume too much calcium. Minimize the consumption of meat and foods with high fat content, as they are likely to cause dry stools and aggravate the condition by straining to defecate. Arrangement of living The correct standing posture should be two eyes flat, chest, straight waist, two legs upright, the distance between the two feet is about the same as the width of the pelvis, so that the whole body gravity evenly from the spine, pelvis to the lower limbs, and then by the two lower limbs to the feet to become a real “feet on the ground”, which can effectively prevent the nucleus pulposus from protruding again. Standing should not be too long, should be appropriate for in-situ activities, dragon its is the lower back activities, in order to release the lower back muscle fatigue. Correct sitting posture should be the upper body straight, abdominal, legs and knees together, if necessary, can be in the feet under the pad a foot or stirrups, so that the knee joints slightly higher than the hip. After sitting for a long time, you should also move around and loosen the muscles of the lower limbs. Usually work life should be a combination of work and rest, pay attention to the correct posture, avoid bending over to lift heavy objects. Appropriate wear lumbar protection and cold protection and warmth Wear lumbar protection for patients with lumbar disc herniation, the main purpose is to brake, is to limit the lumbar spine flexion and other movements, especially to assist the dorsal muscles to limit some unnecessary forward flexion movements, in order to ensure that the damage to the lumbar intervertebral discs can be localized to rest adequately. In addition, lumbar cold, moisture is very easy to make the symptoms worsen or recurrence, patients can choose both braking and warm, breathable, non-sweat accumulation of high-performance rehabilitation lumbar protection to protect the lumbar region. Attention to bedding and lying position Too soft bed under the pressure of human weight can form the shape of the middle low, four high, it is easy to affect the physiological curve of the lumbar spine, so that the discs are not uniform force. Therefore, from the perspective of treatment and prevention of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, it is more appropriate to use wooden boards, and the bedding should be soft and suitable for general use, so as to maintain the balance of the lumbar vertebrae to a large extent. Sleeping positions can be broadly categorized into supine, side and prone. When lying on the back, as long as the lying equipment is suitable, the limbs to maintain the natural extension, the curvature of the spine does not change much. Side lying generally do not have to pay too much attention to the left or right side of the lying position, because people in order to seek a more comfortable position during sleep, always have to keep turning over. Prone position when the chest pressure, lumbar lordosis increased, the most likely to produce discomfort. Therefore, it is generally preferable to adopt the supine position and the side lying position. Pay attention to appropriate rehabilitation gymnastics, patients with lumbar disc herniation in the acute stage should be resting, should not exercise. After the condition is stabilized, it can be matched with moderate exercise such as gymnastics. On the principle of adhering to the appropriate method, correct posture, and gradual progress, perseverance, and appropriate rehabilitation gymnastics for the waist, more representative gymnastics are backward walking method, flying swallow method, supine bridge method, left and right waist rotation method, etc. There are also some introductions on the Internet, so that you can look for the gymnastics that suits your needs. Risks of medication and surgery Medication for lumbar disc herniation is generally aimed at relieving symptoms only. Most of the current medications are anti-inflammatory, anti-swelling, hormonal and other drugs, which have a lot of side effects. In addition, the side effects of traditional Chinese medicine are relatively small, but effective ones are rare. Surgical treatment, according to some statistics, only 10% of patients need, generally speaking, surgery is minimally invasive and open surgery, even the recent popular minimally invasive surgery, the effect of the operation is difficult to return to the level before the disease, some patients will still recur. The entire spine is densely packed with important nerve tissues, and intervertebral disc surgery is inherently risky, while there are also various surgical complications, sequelae, and even medical malpractice resulting in paralysis due to surgical failure is also heard of from time to time. Patients with lumbar disc herniation should make the right choice according to their own situation in the process of illness and rehabilitation, and try to adopt high safety factor, conservative and healthy therapies. In the daily rehabilitation process, lumbar disc herniation patients are tormented by the double contradiction of disease and medication, and expect to find a more natural and tend to be completely cured. In Europe, America, Japan and other developed countries, drugs and injections accompanied by side-effects have gradually been abandoned by the people, and people tend to be more inclined to the daily rehabilitation of this disease, and seek to utilize the body’s self-healing power and the combination of the natural healing of the medical concept. Alternative Medicine” was born, and more and more alternative medical institutions were established, forming a new medical trend all over the world.
