The most common form of low back pain is force abnormalities caused by poor posture. Humans have a gentle S-shaped spinal curve, which can subtly relieve the stress of the upright spine and evenly distributed to each spine; while when using bad posture behavior, the trunk bends poorly, the force tends to be concentrated in the low back area, long-term strain or acute injury will lead to low back pain. For the elderly to prevent low back pain daily health care are as follows: 1. In work and daily life, we should always pay attention to avoid maintaining a fixed posture for a long time, because this can also induce low back pain. When standing, you can shift the weight of both feet, or take turns to put one foot on a slightly higher object, so that the back spine muscle relaxation; when sitting, you can also change the sitting position to shift the stress surface. 2, when sitting in a chair, it is best to have a backrest, while the ankle can be padded so that the knee joint is higher than the hip joint; in a high chair sitting and ankle can not be padded, you can stilt, which leg on the top does not matter, self-comfort is good. When sitting cross-legged, cushions should be added under the hips. If you sit on the floor, it will increase the burden on the flesh and bones of the waist. Do not sit too short chairs and soft and low sofa for a long time. Dependent posture will cause the physiological curvature of the spine to change. 3, one third of life spent in bed, bedding and back health is closely related. The ideal mattress is to distribute the weight to the widest force surface, but does not lose the function of effective support for the spine curvature, too soft and too hard are not. The pillow should not be too high. When lying in bed with a hard board or brown board bed is good to prevent long-term lying soft bed, the spine is in an abnormal position, causing postural back pain. 4, the elderly should not try to carry heavy things that are beyond their reach, when carrying, pay attention to squatting first, then lifting heavy things, do not directly bend over to carry, two people lifting things, pay attention to remind each other, lift and put down at the same time, with the strength of the shoulder and knee joints, to prevent twisting the back. When picking up something from the floor, regardless of the weight of the item, should squat down and pick up again. When standing, you should also rely on both knees to support your body. When picking up heavier items, the items should be held close to the chest to reduce the burden on the lumbar muscles; when picking up and placing items that are higher than the face, stand on a table or stool, do not stretch your waist and tiptoe to reach. 5, the waist persistent pain can not be relieved by itself to make, must identify the cause, to exclude tumors and other lesions. In case of acute pain in the lumbar region, you can wear a waist brace and rest in bed to relieve pain, but be careful not to wear it too often, and try to do functional exercises in bed with the abdomen arched up and the waist back, which can increase the muscle strength of the lumbar back and effectively relieve lumbar back pain. 6, the elderly muscle strength decreases, and easy to strain, so long-term, continuous waist exercise is very beneficial, such as taijiquan, twisting songs, etc. easy to do, and good results. The elderly organism declines, if the lumbar sprain, fracture, must even see a doctor, a certain period of bed rest, to prevent late back pain is very necessary. 7, the mineral content of the elderly bone decreases, weight bearing or even standing make will feel back pain, pay attention to supplement high calcium diet, eat more vegetables, more sunshine. Exercise can strengthen the body, but improper exercise can also cause back pain. Prevention principles are: do enough preparatory activities before exercise to warm up and soften the whole body muscles; the amount and intensity of action should not be too large; pay attention to warmth during exercise. 8, pay attention to the waist warmth and cold, avoid feeling wind, cold and damp, do not advocate living in an air-conditioned room, can rub and tap the muscles on both sides of the spine, has a certain health effect. 9, chronic pain in the elderly can be self-physiotherapy pain parts of Chinese medicine external compresses (angelica, wind, cow knee, Gui Zhi, red spoon, Qiang Wu, Wu Jia Pi, Wei Ling Xian, mugwort, etc. 100 ~ 150 grams each in a cloth bag sealed water decoction, to be warmed and applied externally) has a good effect, especially for the weather changes in pain. In the regular hospital to carry out the appropriate strength of massage, often can make the condition significantly relieved. When the pain obviously affects work and rest, analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents can be taken (new generation drugs such as Celebrex tablets 1 tablet once a day, gastrointestinal reaction is very small), muscle relaxants (compound clozoxazone 0, 2g, three times a day). 10, usually more exercise to consolidate the effect of treatment, relapse prevention and enhance physical fitness has an important role, because the majority of people’s posture when living and working is, head down, two upper limbs abducted and leaning forward about 90 degrees range of activities, time organism for a long time to lose the coordination of limb dynamic and static balance function. Therefore, sports therapy for this situation in the line of allopathic treatment, such as the back of the low back back exercise, lumbar rotation exercise, etc..
