What dangerous maneuvers can cause a herniated disc in the lumbar spine?

Two days ago, a friend suffering from lumbar disc herniation to the clinic to find my review, a door to shoot me, how do you go out to the clinic also cross your legs ah, this can be bad for the lumbar disc ah! This is not good for the lumbar disc! As a specialist in spine surgery, I should not have made the dangerous action that may lead to lumbar disc herniation when I went out to the clinic, or was pointed out by the patient. This matter I have been remembered in my heart, so here summarized can cause lumbar disc herniation of the top ten dangerous actions, I hope we can prevent and prevent, there is a change, no added encouragement. 1, cross your legs Danger Index: ★ Danger Reason: Crossing your legs will lead to sitting with a tilted pelvis, lumbar spine under pressure is not uniform, can cause lumbar muscle strain, will also lead to lumbar intervertebral discs are not uniform, long time this position is a risk factor for lumbar disc herniation. Tips: Try to ensure that the sitting position does not cross your legs, the pelvis is correct, so that the lumbar spine force is uniform. 2, long-term upright work Danger Index: ★ Danger reason: long-term upright work will lead to lumbar muscle tension, resulting in long-term lumbar spine force increase, lumbar disc herniation risk increase. For example, shopping mall salesman is lumbar disc herniation of the population, is because of long-term standing work leads to lumbar back muscle tension. Tip: When working on tiptoe, alternating between feet can increase lumbar lordosis and relieve lumbar back muscle tension. If you feel discomfort in the lower back after standing for a long time, take the initiative to interrupt and do some lumbar stretching. 3, “old woman” sitting Danger Index: ★★★ Danger Reason: “old woman” type sitting position nestled in the sofa or stool will lead to a reduction in lumbar anterior convexity, increased pressure on the intervertebral discs, prolonged maintenance of this position will lead to lumbar disc degeneration aggravated. However, this posture is a lot of people are more like posture, every time the class time to talk about this, will see everyone sitting upright. Tip: Keep your upper body straight when you are sitting, close your abdomen, and keep your lower limbs together. If you sit in a chair with a backrest, you should try to the above posture on the basis of the lumbar back against the back of the chair, so that the lumbosacral muscles will not be too fatigue. 4, poor sleeping posture Danger Index: ★★★ Danger Reason: lie flat, if the neck and waist without support, will lead to lumbar and back muscle tension, which is why many people sleep on the sofa or soft bed will feel the waist is very difficult, which I know myself, every time in the office of the soft sofa after sleeping on the lumbar very empty and difficult, so it’s a very good idea to have the right to speak. Tips: Try to choose a hard mattress, lie flat with a soft pillow under the knees, so that the hip and knee joints slightly flexed, lumbar back muscle relaxation, disc pressure is reduced, reducing the risk of disc herniation. 5, single hand-held heavy objects Danger Index: ★★★★★ Danger Reason: single hand-held heavy objects will make the body as a whole tilt, the disc of the force in both directions is not uniform, the muscle tension is not the same, the disc of the great harm. Tips: Try to carry the same weight of the same weight of the items, to ensure that the trunk balance and lumbar spine force uniformity. 6, poor running posture Danger Index: ★★★★★ Danger Reason: Running is a lot of people like sports, but not normal running posture, especially the bowed back forward posture will lead to a significant increase in the disc force, coupled with running bumps in the pulse pressure, will be a greater risk to the intervertebral discs. Tips: Try to keep the upper body straight, and slow down the running frequency, wear air-cushioned shoes, reduce the pulse pressure on the intervertebral disc. 7, wearing high-heeled shoes Danger Index: ★★★★ Danger Reason: High-heeled shoes make people’s center of gravity shift forward excessively, which will inevitably cause anterior pelvic tilt, spinal curvature increase, lumbar vertebrae force concentration, which is easy to cause intervertebral disc injury. Tips: Try to wear flat shoes, if special occasions must wear high heels, try to put the center of gravity on the heel rather than the forefoot. 8, the need to twist the waist of the movement (such as golf, table tennis) Danger index: ★★★★ Danger reason: golf swing, table tennis arc ball need to waist force drive arm, such a regular twisting movement on the disc of the long term caused by twisting and extrusion, is the high risk of disc herniation action. Tips: patients with lumbar disc herniation try to avoid the need to twist the waist of the movement, normal people in the movement should also do a good job of lumbar protection and prevention. 9, bending to carry heavy objects Danger index: ★★★★★ Danger reason: directly bending to carry things, will lead to lumbar intervertebral discs suddenly increased force, it is easy to make lumbar intervertebral discs through the weak region of the protrusion, many patients are bending to carry heavy objects after the symptoms aggravated. Tips: Kneel on one knee, as close to the body as possible, the use of arms to lift the weight to the middle of the thighs, and then stand up in a way to keep the back straight; get up after the weight to be as close to the body. 10, chronic cough, constipation Danger index: ★★★★★ Danger reason: long-term chronic cough and constipation will lead to an increase in abdominal pressure, while the disc force increases, but also the lumbar disc herniation clear risk factors.
